Platon

[Leeloo1233]

I heard this name today at my dd's baby group. It's kind of cool yet strong, or what do you think? Might go on my list for a possible future ds.

Pelaton or Plato not in the running?

My first thought was Plankton. Amoeba has a nice ring to it as well...

I also thought plankton.

Absolutely dreadful.

Isn’t it a name from that Netflix drama the politician? I think.

If I’m honest I don’t think it really sounds like a name

Awful.

Makes me think of Platano (a banana...)

No - unless you dislike your future ds.

It is a boys or girls name or either? I looks like theres letters missing, it just doesn't look like a complete name.

Patton is a legit name if that's any better?

I came on to say plankton too. Awful.

Or Clayton? Not to my taste but similar

My first thought too.

Are you sure it wasn’t Peyton? Also a dreadful name but marginally better.

How is it pronounced, is the N silent? What about a nn, would you use Platty or Tonto? So many questions….

Sounds like something from a sci-fi film - maybe a planet.

Platon is the Greek name for Plato. I absolutely love it but chickened out calling my son Platon in the UK.

Awful. Sounds like something to do with science rather than a name to me.

It’s fine if you’re Greek but a bit odd otherwise.

Haha clearly I'm the only one who likes it! And also now cannot unsee the plankton thing 🤣

Yeah it was definitely Platon, I saw it written down

Bloody hell

No

Well I like it. Written down it looks like plankton but won't sound like it. It's quite...stately.

It's Greek, like Plato. Sounds much nicer said in Greek-and is a shortening for Platonas. The a is like an 'U' sound.

Erm...

Is it pronounced Play-ton or Platton??

Plankton

Is it pronounced Play-ton or Platton??

Neither

In Greek it's Platon
In Russia it's Platon

Pla = halfway between platter and RP plus.
