Thoughts on Lysander

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Please

The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous.

I love it.

Very very posh!! I like it because I like the Shakespeare play he was from but I wouldn't call my son that. Sorry.

Is it a kind of aeroplane??

I like the name a lot, but as I call think Alexander is better

Yuck. Wet, weak minded character from midsummer night's dream.

Jilly cooper!

loopy I thought he was the fit one

Insanely posh, and I'm a fan of names like Rupert and Hugo, but this is too far for me.

Both the young men in it are pathetic: back story is that Lysander initially flirted with Helena, then fell for her friend. He is then v easily bewitched to fancy Helena again and is horrible to his gf.

We accidentally ended up with a Lysander's wellies once, in Gloucestershire. If Lysander's mum reads this, sorry! It is nice but reminds me of year 10 English.

Yep, Jilly Cooper - always remember the line about Lysander's "flailing flagpole".....

Ps in fairness to Lysander he was under a spell!

Not a fan, sorry!

Not for me I'm afraid

I think Shakespeare, too - but not in a particularly good way. Yes, I know it's not Lysander's fault he's under a spell, but all the same... I wouldn't.

Love it! I like Leander and Evander too.

Very upper class and posh

Love it!!

My mum ways used "Hector and Lysander" as a mock-swear!

I don't love it.

I think it's quite niche and could be hard to pull off. I can imagine it suiting some men, but not others, which I think makes it a bit of a gamble iyswim.

Roll with it OP- Demetrius

The obvious abbreviation sounds like 'Lice' so that puts me off.

Or maybe Sandy, which I'm not keen on.

Other than that, I like it, but the shortenings put me off and it's quite a big name to live up to.

Plus there's a pub near us called the Lysander (after the plane) so that would put me off - although I realise this is unlikely to be an issue for op!
