[Opinions] Zeus
Do you think Zeus is usable as a MN? If yes, which combos can you think of? Or is Zeus just to uch for a child to handle?

In the abstract, I do think it is a bit much. That said, I have met one Zeus in real life (first name), and he pulled off the name spectacularly. So, it's a bit of a gamble or an "expectation" name, but it does have the potential to be fun, especially in the middle name slot.

It's too much. I think a lot of the mythical Greek names are silly, if you want my honest opinion.

I think it's cool! It was really close that I named my bird this (he ended up being a Sigge btw) but I could easily use it for a real child too.Theodore Zeus

It's weird, but I can tollerate it as mn. Certainly off-limits as a fn, though.

DittoI tried to like Zeus when I first began posting here, but I just can't - I don't like the sound.

Anything is usable, but I don't see Zeus's appeal it's great for a animal not a human IMO

I don't think Zeus would be good even for a middle name. It's too much. It's kind of along the lines of the people who name their kids stuff like Major or King. It just seems a little... egotistical? Something like that anyway.

Yeah. Kind of like Thor as a fn.
