Do you like the name Hector?

[fairybeagle]

Just that really, what are your opinions please.

I know two hectors, one dog , one horse...

Unfortunately it makes me think of someone who talks in a hectoring voice, and isn't very pleasant.

No. It's a very unattractive name and it also means bully or to bully.

Yes, I would definitely name my dog it.

I like it. The story of Hector in the Iliad is wonderful - he's very brave, good and a loving father.

It's an unusual name, but the only little boy I know called Hector is wonderful!

Nope, “hectoring”. I know a baby Hector though.

I wouldn't use it in a million years but if you like it, you go for it!

No I don’t like it sorry.

I know a two year old spelt Hecktor, I quite like it.

Lovely. I almost chose it and my son says he wishes I had.

I weirdly really like it- it's not usually my style but it popped into my head when we were coming up with names and I would have put it quite high up on my list if DH hadn't vetoed it.

I like it

No

Immediately makes me think of the Morrissey song. It doesn’t end well for that particular Hector.

Yes.

Not keen. For some reason reminds me of an old farmer

My first thought was breaking bad.. It's just not a name I would choose.

Yes I like it! I think Trojan hero.

What, compared to the millions of nice names in the world? No, I don't like it.

Nooooo!

No

Have you been watching Berlin Station by any chance OP?! I quite like it to be honest.

In most english accents it would be pronounced ‘hecta’, do you like that?

Love it. No skin in the game as no sons there’s a mother at school with 2 sons one called this and the other my other choice of boys name which slightly freaks me out as both names pretty unusual
