Does anyone else like Hero for a girl?

[maddymellow]

I love it, DH just did this

Obviously I can’t use it but does anyone else like Hero as a girls’ name or is it objectively awful?

Well, if it's good enough for Shakespeare...

Awful

I really like it 🥰

I love it and would consider it if I had another DD.

Somehow it's just so arrogant!

I love it, but Much Ado is my favourite play.

Love it.

What about Hira/Hera as an alternative?

Naff

Hero is awful sorry, however I don't mind Hiro or Hera!

Mylene Klass has a dd Hero.

Love it.

Really like it.

Awful

Prefer Hera.

It sounds too masculine sorry

I love it as Much Ado is one of my favourites but DH would never had said yes.
So it’ll be a hen name instead

Love it! But I know my Dh would have a similar reaction to yours!

DP and I both love it, and it is on our list, although not currently a front runner. I like the simplicity of Hero, the ‘o’ at the end, the rather masculine sound and the Shakespearean association. Of course plenty of people won’t like it, just as with every other name in the world.

It’d be a real strain trying to live up to it your whole life.

I love it.

Love it. Also love Viola, another Shakespeare classic

I love it and my DH hates it.

But he hasn’t read the Shakespeare play, sooooo

Love it...

When I was about 14 I read a book by Georgette Heyer, think it was called Friday's Child. The main female character was called Hero. I thought it was a wonderful name and still do.

@Scarydinosaurs get him to watch the film, Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous in it!
