The name Achilles?

[tuwatain]

Opinions; Partner thinks it's pretentious. I just like Greek names and love the stories surrounding him.

My daughter has a friend from school called Achilles - Achi for short . His surname is ‘of Greece’ though.

Just don't give him Neal as a middle name

I can just imagine the 'weak' jokes throughout schooldays & he'll probably change his name once he's old enough

Especially if you/others are going to pronounce it as Akileeez

Just makes me think or tendons. I have Achilles tendinopathy so not that associations for me! Plus it's associated generally with being a weak spot.

I knew one but was actually Greek.

If you're not then I really wouldn't

Sulked in a tent for years because Agamemnon stole his slave girl, then went apeshit and desecrated the dead body of his enemy. I could never stand him in the Iliad, the petulant twat.

EoinMcLovesCakeajumper have you read The Silence of the Girls? I think you’re going to love it.

Please don't. It means Achilles heel, ie your weak spot.

Booboostwo I have! It firmly cemented my opinion.
