Echo

[isolatednightfever]

I am watching a film on Netflix named Saving Zoë and the two main girls on it are sisters named well Zoë and Echo.

I had never thought of Echo as a name but the more I heard it being said by the people on the film and actually seeing someone go through life with it (even if it was just on film) made it sound even more real. Not sure I'd put if on my list of top choices but definitely got me thinking

What do you think of it?

What like the Amazon Echo? First thing I thought of sorry. Might’ve been a nice name in the past but not now.

Well there’s a fairly sad Greek legend about her so that would put me off.

It's the name and wake word of my Amazon Echo dot (you can choose from Alexa, Computer, Echo and Amazon)! I say it a lot during the day. I wouldn't name a child that, personally.

And The Bunnymen?

My friend has a wire haired Daschund called Echo, so it's a 'No' from me.

Amazon echo so no I wouldn't use it personally

Echo from the Greek myth... no way.
Or even its normal meaning - who the heck would want to be a mere echo?

My friend has a wire haired Daschund called Echo,

Do they have another dachshund and this one always barks second?

It makes me think of Ecco the Dolphin.

Sorry but I'd want to say her name multiple times with decreasing volume "Echo, Echo, Echo... "

Your baby your choice, choice, choice.

@TARSCOUT, scout, scout
🤣🤣🤣

Picture the scene. What's your baby's name? Echo. Pardon? Echo. What? Echo. Hahaha bet you've never heard that before

No way. Cruel.

Hey I don't thinks it's as usuable as other Greek names. I personally wouldn't use it but each to their own 😃. On a side note I really like Hera.

The Greek myths - but Echo’s story is not a happy one.

Say that again?

OMG @tarscout! PMSL! 🤣

I would think the parents disliked their child and were playing a cruel trick on it. I'm only being so direct because it's not a name you're considering. I hope.

You know that really irritating thing kids do where they keep repeating you? Well, any parent who called their kid Echo would bloody well deserve to have this constantly!

I don’t like Echo as a name at all, sorry

@DarkDarkNight me too!

not for me

Oh ffs, choose a bloody name that doesnt amount to low grade child abuse. There's an "Apricity" on here this morning too!!
There are thousands of pretty, serviceable names out there..choose one!

Awful. Poor kid.

Love it. It was on my list.
