Rameses?

[HeyMonkey]

I'm not pregnant, but with all of the bonkers names popping up recently why hasn't Rameses reared it's head?

I've seen a Blade, a Benz and a King pop up recently, but no sign of a Rameses which is clearly far superior. Anyone want to shotgun it?

Or Herod. No Herod fans?

It’s a bit much IMO and I like unusual names

Ra isnt really a worshipped god anymore. Maybe that's why?

Tutankhamen might be a good un.

It has potential.

Because the obvious shortening would be "Rammy" which in Scotland means a disturbance, fight, people causing bother.

Or just because it's a ridiculous name.

I play Ra in sentinels of the multiverse, hence it coming up.

I had two cats called Ramses and Nefertari. It's a no from me 🤣

No good having a Ned in Scotland either.

@KateUrrer Aw, little baby Thug.

It’s a great name for a potential pharaoh.
Bit much for an ordinary baby.

And as for Herod - anyone considering Herod needs to read up about his role in the nativity. The massacre of the innocents association puts me right off.

Shu.
Poor kid wouldn't know if he was coming or going when he gets called in from the garden.

I might hang on to Rameses for my next cat come to think of it.

I've always loves the name Ramses!

The incest and early death would put me off.

Rammy meant filthy or dirty (unclean) when I was growing up in Cheshire.

The incest and early death would put me off.

Ramese the great/the second lived about 2 to 3 times longer than the average age. Its one of the reasons believed he was a god.

Makes a nice change from all the little Ptolemys running around.

How do you even pronounce Ptolemy?

The ‘P’ is silent.

Rameses Revenge is a well-known ride at Chessington. I wouldn’t want my child to be named after that.

Also sounds like a tummy bug

I hear this name being said in Peter Griffin's voice, OP.

Benz.

I'm lost for words.

I’ve wondered why ancient Egyptians names haven’t found a footing in the “old/classical names” trend. Ancient Greek and Roman names have.
