In Reply to: Need help naming my baby boy.... posted by Stephanie on December 11, 2000 at 22:49:02:
: We are expecting our fourth child at the end of February - a boy after 3 girls. We are trying to find a name for him, our daughters names are; Zoe, Sophia and Charis. We would like for him to have a Grrek name also, but are having a hard time - we don't want it to be too common or too popular. My sister has used Nicholas - we both liked that but it's out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
: Thanx,

Forgive me for being so....blunt in my subject header... but if you are Greek (I assume you are, that is), why not consider naming it by Greek convention, ie. after a parent, relative without descendants etc. The recent custom of naming kids outlandish names is so silly...I even heard of one family considering naming their son "Efialtes" - the most accursed of all Greek names (today it means "nightmare"; it was the name (then common) of the traitor who told the Persian army how to circumvent the Spartan army at Thermopylae). The suggested names are all wonderful; however, it would be a beautiful action to name your child after someone before him.....
