Odysseus as a middle name?

Thoughts

Don't all of BJ's (acknowledged) kids have one stupid middle name? Wasn't one saddled with Apollo as one of theirs?

Yes, and one of the girls has the middle name Peaches, to make matters worse.

And Arthus has been used before as a middle name for one of his children. Peaches probably seemed quite daring back in the day.

There’s also a Lettuce I think

Lettice. I quite like that.

Oops, it's Alfred for this one.

I think it's fantastic! As does my 9yr old who is obsessed with all things Greek mythology 😀

Saw this

Tbf I've seen plenty of worse names on here

I love wacky middle names! Go for it! Embarrass him on his wedding day!

I wanted to call my only child Cleopatra Minerva but was vetoed.

Diddy for short.

I like it, but then I like Classical names.

Should have added Balonz as a 4th name

Its ridiculous.

a bit "odious"
unless your greek and it's a family tradition.

All of my children have at least one classical Greek name, but Odysseus is too out there even for me!

Do you think Frank will be admitted to the Lords before he is thirty?

I think this child is destined to spend a very long time travelling......probably to get away from his embarrassing parents.

Just when you think someone can't possibly be more stupid - they excel themselves again.

There's nothing stupid in choosing a middle name Odysseus. What kind of gross comment is this.

Odysseus as a middle is fine - most people are unaware of others middle names.

It's Jacob Rees Moggs lad Sixtus I feel sorry for - double whammy of unusual Latin name and close in sound for kids to "Sex(t)us" (plus his siblings mostly have more normal/commonplace names to be extra unfair, even Anselm is much more liveable). Frank is positively boring/safe in comparison!

Great

What kind of mockery is this? How would you feel if someone mocks your child's name?

Sorry, but anyone who names their child Odysseus has to expect a certain amount of hilarity.
