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.

I like your thinking behind it Littlemiss - that's a nice thought. I looked up patron saints of doctors/medicine/healing etc but they all seem a bit odd (Camillus for example!).

Fantastic name

There are some usable patron saints of medicine or pharmacy:
Luke
Damian
Cosmas maybe.

I love it.Unusually enough but you can still spell it.

I wouldn't for a first name. Quite nice for a second name.

I'm not a fan. Good dog name, though.

daisypond yes Luke is good. But when I read Damian as a patron Saint of medical I couldn't help but snort outloud.

Love it, don't worry about the negative responses. People are quite tame on here.

Theres nothing really horrible the name can be associated with it, it is as old as the gods themselves and just a bit different....

Houston, we have a problem.

But that's my age.

what about Phoebus - Apollo's alias

Ther is an Apollo in Corrie which gets called Paul

I would have thought that 13 would be his nickname.

This is what the boys in my Year 10 class tried to persuade me to use for my son

They very nearly managed! It’s such a cool name

My dad has been treated by a doctor called Apollonius Kwok. Everyone called him Apollo. Wonderful name

Definitely hormones, don't do it.

Maybe as a middle name?

I love it! It is on my list for a boy.

Go for it. All the people saying it's too much are most likely old, boring and probably name their children "Jess" and "libby". As if there arnt enough of those around

I love it my oh vetoed it 😢

I know someone who has recently had an Apollo!

I like it... but didn't Apollo famously inflict a number of plagues on the Greeks, in the Iliad? Not sure that's what I'd be going for right now...

Apollo nickname Paul - it's fine. If you love it go for it

Apollo is a great strong name. Great meaning too.

Especially with a common surname. Much more memorable!

Boris Johnson has a Theodore Apollo.

I know someone named Apollo (mid 50s). It suits him quite well and I really couldn't picture him being called something else. He goes by Apollo all the time and doesn't have any nicknames. I really like it
