Apollo and his brothers...

[villainousbroodmare]

I was talking to a client on the phone this evening and asked his first name. A tiny pause before he said "Apollo". I told him he was the only Apollo I'd ever met and asked if he had siblings. He told me that his three brothers are called Triton, Pan and Oberon!

Like something out of a Jilly Cooper novel!

Well I hope he doesn't google himself! The parents though. Why didn't someone tell them to get over themselves?

I knew this!!!! I’ve just read this:

Should I worry about outing him? Nowhere near the UK... though an English-speaking country. I just had to share that extraordinary set of names!

Apollo and Oberon are great names. Well done to their imaginative parents.

Cool and fun names!

Such cool names!

Mumsnetters take note and have some balls when choosing names cause this page is usually full of boring ones 😂

I agree. They're great names that are very memorable (unlike names like Steve, Mike, Jack or Oliver, of which I know soo many....)!

One of MN's more infamous trolls used Apollo for one of her many fictional children. They were all unusually named, and I believe there was more than one set of twins... Anyone remember?

I wanted Cosmo for my youngest but decided it wouldn't fit with his siblings names.

The parents though. Why didn't someone tell them to get over themselves?

'Get over themselves'?

One of my nephews is called Cosmo

Showing my age here but I can’t think of Cosmo without adding ‘and Dibbs’

My new DS's middle name is Cosmo

Actually come to think of it DD's name is usually shortened to Pan too

My cat is called Cosmo... Hence my username 😂
