[Opinions] are you familiar with The Flying Conchords?
in reply to a message by belle
They are so goofy and offbeat that the name Sophocles does not come off as trying too hard at all. If it was the son of a pair of professors, I would agree... but with these guys it is just hilarious and awesome. :)I highly recommend "Alby the Racist Dragon" for your YouTube viewing pleasure; it remains my favourite Conchord ditty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-jVAHAuiS4

do you mean Flight of the Concords?!From New Zealand? lol, if that's them, they're lol!!Maybe you're right, but i don't know, this is a child's name, it's not something i would think lightly about, since it's a name the kid will have to live with. Imagine if he grew up to be a professor himself! I just don't think they thought it through, it may be funny right now but, meh, it's their child i guess!

His wife has a Greek last name, so I guess it's a family name. And Greek are big on honoring names.
