What do you think of Poseidon?

[BabiesDontNeedDaddies]

I like Percy but I don't like Percival or Perseus. What do you think?

You've met a baby named 'JESUS' or do you mean 'Jesus' as in pronounced Hesu?

What about Leviathan? Levi or Lee for short. Nautical theme.

I quite like the name Jessy, so I'm going to call my kid Jesus Christ.

So definitely not a joke, then?

I just asked my ten years olds (who are both huge fans of Rick Riordan) what they think and after they finished laughing they said that it would be incredibly cruel.

There’s nothing wrong with unusual names but you need to consider how easily the child will be able to live with it.

OP, it's the hormones. Honestly.

Please, please for the love of the gods do not inflict this name on your child!

It’s awful!

I would assume the poor child had pretentious parents who hadn’t given much thought to the fact that their child actually has to cope with the name

Didn’t his biological father try to eat him?

Poseidon also wasn't a very nice god - vengeful, spiteful, angry, aggressive, etc.

Weren't they all? Zeus was a right bastard, however he had an awesome name, so I'd recommend that if you want to go for Greek mythology then it has to be Zeus. Zee for short, if you must, but it's too good on its own.

Percy is fine on it’s own!

Someone will find a way to call him Penis.

He will hate you forever for that name. And he will probably be crap at swimming.

People in 70s evening wear climbing desperately up a giant Christmas tree in a capsized ship - is the image that leaps to mind.

Horatio - true! But Zeus - all that turning into bulls or showers of golden rain to have his way with all those maidens...

It's not to my taste... to each their own..,

I can't believe no one has mentioned 'Poseidon's kiss' I likely have the humour of an adolescent boy but it's all I can think of 😊

I think it’s really silly. It would be a bit of a millstone round his neck.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good one!!

Seriously though. No.

I think Poseiden is ridiculous and Percy is awful. Even for pets let alone children.

Much prefer Perseus.

You're putting it in the pot?! I think you need a rethink. It's bloody awful!

I don't know if this thread is a joke to shock but if you're serious please don't. Just don't.

Percy is just awful but Poseidon would be far, far worse. Imagine the stick they'll get and also how people will pronounce it in your local accent. Just. Don't. Do. It.

It'll definitely be shortened to Don.

It'll definitely be shortened to Don

If he's lucky. Don't bank on it though.

Pussy or Penis would be my bets.

Are you giving birth to a Greek god?
