Help[Opinions] Re: Sappho
in reply to a message by vigdis
It would be cruel to give your child this name. And this comes from someone who is pro gay marriage, pro do whatever you want with your body, super crazy liberal. Lesbia is also a legit name and I wouldn't recommend that either.

Regarding 'cruel' in homophobic sense: I guess this all depends upon the environment in which the child grew up. I didn't realise that some people thought badly of homosexuality until I was nine and didn't encounter it personally in childhood.
I'm against Sappho as a name because it belongs to the poet - I can't see it on anyone else's child without thinking of her. It would be like naming a daughter Oprah. A child's name should be her own.
Also it seems very 'look at me, I'm well read' and almost pompous.
