Apollo?

[Littlemissdaredevil]

My little coronial has arrived and we still don’t have a name.

A few weeks ago the name Apollo popped into my head. What does everyone think? Would I be mad? Is it too far out? Our surname is very common and begins with S.

Sorry, no, it’s too much.

Solomon, with Sol for short?

Apollo is probably going to get the nn Polly...

Paul?

I love it! wouldn't be brave enough myself but I love Greek mythology names

I know a lovely three year old Apollo, but in South Africa where names are often imaginative.

I love it, not sure that I would be brave enough to use it though. Myleene Klass has a son called Apollo, I think.

I love it

Coronation street watcher ?

Bit much, imo.

No. Would YOU want to go through life called Apollo? If not don't call your child it.

Nicknames Appy, Polly or Pollo would put me off. Other than that I actually quite like it.

11 or 13?

No I don’t think an adult would appreciate that name - plus that’s what my cat is called

I think you have the same Surname as me and I think it does sound great but I just wouldnt!!! Mythology names are a no go for me. With such a classic name I think you can get away with a traditional or a different name but I love traditional with it.

My first thought was 13, followed by myleene class, both would mean a definite no from me sorry

I love it. Love strong names.

I know a baby Apollo - he is very cute! Go for it!

No it's the (King of the?) Gods, too much to live up to!

Plus all those famous NASA space rockets, Apollo 13 etc. So it doesn't really seem like a personal name.

What's a coronial?

Makes me think of Apollo from Battlestar Galactica - Although that was his call sign. He was acting called Lee.
What is your thinking behind it?
The Mythology background or the Space Race (or Battlestar Galactica!). It feels like a name that needs a really good reason why you chose it.

I love Apollo (check out my username!) but not as a name for a child.

If gwen Stefani and myleene klass cant pull it off then you probably cant.Sorry!

The thinking behind it is that Apollo is the Greek god of healing and diseases

I expect it is the left over pregnancy hormones speaking to me!

I like it. I'd much rather meet a wee Apollo than another Jack or Max.
