Am I mad?

[Pika09]

We're considering either Ronin or Perses as names for a boy. Crazy idea or not?

crazy, poor child

Awful.

I kinda like Ronin. Perses not so much.

Any name you choose try and to announce them as a newscaster would if they were Prime Minster or CEO of a large respected company.

If the name sounds silly then don't give your child that name.

You need the name to be neutral enough so people

don't laugh when they see the name on a CV when your child is an adult trying to get a job.

Mad I'm afraid

Robin is fine, Persis purses persil not so much. I get it tho, we wanted Thaddeus and Balthazar

How about Percy instead of Perses?

What about Ronan?

Eeek please don't! Poor kid!

Ronin? Really? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rōnin

And by Perses are you thinking of the Greek god of destruction?

Yes, you are mad.

Ronin is ok although I prefer Ronan. The other...no don't do it!

No chance. Don't do it. Horrible

Not a fan of Persis, but not because it’s a weird name, I just think it’s not the nicest sounding name.

Ronin I have no problem with at all - although I guess there would be plenty of misspellings of Ronan. I have a name with numerous spelling variations and mine is one of the least common - it’s a pain at times, but it’s no biggie.

As for the PP above who liked Thaddeus - I love that name and would have used it if a) we didn’t have other boys names we liked more b) we had more boys and less girls in our family!

For some reason we are finding boys names really difficult to choose, hence grasping at straws lol

I think Ronan is a lot better than Ronin. I suspect that if you pick Ronin people will think you meant Ronan but are just bad at spelling. Ronan is a nice name with good classical connotations.

Perses I really don’t like - it doesn’t look or sound nice imo. Would you consider Percy or even Perseus instead?

Ronan is better than Ronin

I know someone who has a Perseus nn Percy

Ronan is fine but I wouldn't go for the others.

Xerxes
Peter
Atticus

Any name you choose try and to announce them as a newscaster would if they were Prime Minster or CEO of a large respected company
And now, we're going live to Prime Minister Thaddeus Marston as he achieves world peace with the help of his brother Balthazar, CEO of Peace Inc.

Dammit, it sounds so cool. We def should have done it

I like them both 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you want unusual, how about X Æ A-12?

Makeup, Boris sounds frankly ridiculous, yet, here we are. Ronin is ok, Perses sounds like a misheard Perseus.

I’m not keen but it’s really subjective. If you’re going to go unusual by it’s very nature you aren’t going to crowd please. How about Rohan?

Boris sounds frankly ridiculous, yet, here we are tbf to his parents, his first name is fine. British PM Alexander Johnson sounds perfectly sensible

I know what his first name is. But he is universally, apart from his family, called Boris.
