What do you think of: Romeo, Venus, Angel, Isis, Achilles?

[belgo]

Unfortunately for them the Spice Girls have similar taste in names

the oldest boy is called Romeo Romaeo

Goodness me, poor old Romeo Casanova Valentino, he's got some pressure on him to be good with the ladies. I feel sorry for him when he goes through his spotty geek phase when he thinks that girls are boring and silly.

i like it

I mean, it's like calling a boy Great Big Horny Love Machine. It's not kind.

I think the fact that they've chosen to be in the news says a lot. If you like unusual names, then fine, go for it. But this couple clearly want to broadcast it to the nation to make some kind of statement ('Hey we're whacky and interesting'I guess)and personally I find that a bit odd and a little unfair on the children.

Best start bullying them now and be done with it.

Cruel to the children!

Isis is a gorgeous name.

Achilles Spartacus Mars??

Nope, not an April Fool's wind-up.

Poor children.

I have an Isis and she is wonderful!

Isis is lovely. The rest are dreadful.

Achilles would be a good name for a dog though... "Achilles! Heel!"

Infact... I had forgoton about Isis, and now I have just added it to my list of possible names.

I know an Ismene too which is rather sweet (Iz - meenie).

I thought Ismene was pronounced Iss-men? (grave accent on the first e)

(actually more like ees-men)

Lol melpomene!

What's the betting that these children will call their own Robert, Anne, James and Elizabeth

I always thought it was Is-may-nay

wow, i thought was joke at first untill saw the link.
taste or what?

yes prolly more like Is Mah Nay but Izmeenie is how it ends up being said.

"The only downside is that we can't get pencils or mugs with their names on but we can live with that."

The two eldest girls' names sound like porn names. The eldest son's name is going to haunt him forever if he can't get laid. I actually like Isis, and wanted it for my DDs, but DH said that Isis is some kind of spooky Egyptian goddess (who possibly transports people across the Styx? can't remember...), so it didn't seem right, and the youngest son, well he'd better join the army.

all dreadful and will cause trouble in later life.

I know an Isis - her older brother is called Tiger FFS.

isis is a river in oxford, and an egyptian goddess of fertility and 'everything'. and my daughter. I know obscurely of an isis with a brother called Merlin (ffs). My Isis has a sister called Delphi, and they are both really rather lovely.

I think the parents need medication....
