Virgil

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Thoughts on Virgil for a boy?

He will get teased and nicknamed virgin as a teen, sorry.

No!

I can see potential for 'Virgil the Virgin' to torment his adolescence.

Really terrible, sorry. When I first saw the name I read it as virginal

I read this in a jamaican accent

Your joking aren’t you?

Horrendous.

Makes me think of Virgil from Thunderbirds. Recipe for disaster at school bc teasing.

Ok if he's going to study classics at Oxbridge, otherwise Thunderbirds/virgin associations will be rife.

I've heard of a few young Virgils in France but I don't know if it would work well in the UK.

What about Maro?

Terrible don't do it, he'll be teased with a name like that it's ok for a middle name but no way for a first name.

Liverpool fan by any chance?

Greatest poet in Western literature. Go for it.

There was one at school, he's very successful now.

Well , it may be shortened to Virg.

But it's not that bad. If you're looking to be a bit "out there" I'd guess so are baby other parents and half the class will be Virgil/Candida/Gilbert/Prudence

No

Publius and Maro would work well too.

You only have to replace the last letter and he's bullied for life.

No, no, no ...

Awful.

Why would you go out of your way to make your teenage son's life harder than it already will be?

Do you know what? I like it!
Endless Harry’s and Oscars, Noah’s and George’s and Alfie/Archie/Stanley
I actually like all the above names but they’re soooo popular (common sounds mean but I mean it like common place)

Hell no. Very try hard and a recipe for teasing.

Sounds too much like Vagisil or some product like it.

It's a shame - a lot of names like that are kind of ruined nowadays, but there it is. Like Candida!

No

Maro is a shortened version of Maria in Greek so a girls name. Depends where he goes to school!
