Dionysios

[Circleofshroom]

Half Greek baby boy due soon. Will likely grow up in London. Struggling for names!!

Nickname would be Dio (to rhyme with Leo).

Absolutely not. There are lovely Greek names for boys

Don’t sit on the fence! 😂😂😂

Please suggest all the lovely ones to me!

Not Orestes because of the backstory or Oedipus!

How about Alexander or Lysander?

Dion on its own could work

Alexander
leonidas if you want Leo
Christos
antony
Nikos

In my opinion, no. It sounds like an illness or condition. How about something more cross-cultural such as Alexander?

God of wine-making. It's something to live up to!

That's Dionysus isn't it?

Not sure if OP is spelling it wrong or her version is a legit different name.

My brother is Alexandros. It’s a great name but I can’t use it!

Legit name and I personally love it, at least if his surname will be Greek.

Yes. Dionysios/Dionysius is the name related to Dionysus.

This is on point. That said if the surname is jones or smith it could ooze cool.

It‘s ok generally.
I like Pyros, or Konstantinos (Kostas)

I really wouldn't. I suspect even those living in Greece would be hesitant to use it. If he's going to grow up in London I'd chose something that gave a nod to the greek side but doesn't stand out.

If you're struggling to spell it correctly now, imagine the lifetime of 'and how are you spelling that?' from birth for life. Believe me, it's tiresome.

Demetrius?

I used to know a Greek guy called Demi which I think is lovely.

Sisters have very Greek names so I’ve committed now. Would be a bit off if he gets called Nick or Michael.

I don’t think I am struggling to spell it? There are different variants. I’d pick one and presume people would learn. Maybe I’m being too optimistic.

It doesn't have to be all or nothing though. There's lots of greek names that are not as out there.

What are your daughters called?

What makes you think the OP is struggling to spell it correctly?

@Circleofshroom I think it's a great name.

I think it sounds like an illness, a breed of dinosaur or you've spelt Dionysus wrong. I prefer pretty much all the other suggestions on the thread or more common alternatives such as Demitri and Niko

Does it have to be a mythological name? Can’t you just use a nice name like Kostas, Dimitrios, Nikolaos, Loukas?
DS2 has a friend named Konstantinos, which is lovely.

If you want greek i know its popular but I like yannis/yiannis

😂😂😂
No, it doesn’t have to be mythological at all! And I’m very much hoping to pick a nice name. Clearly failing!

I love Konstantinos but it’s bad with our surname. Will try and warm up to Dimitrios and Nikolaos (always makes me think of knicker-less in English, so that puts me off).

Aneste is my favourite. Sebastian and Theodore are nice.

Dionysius isn't a name id pick. The mythology of the greek god is a bit mad.
