Help[Opinions] Re: Homer
in reply to a message by Ozma
Homer, Hector and Horace remind me of each other. All are overlooked, classical Greek names. I'd love to see Homer (Hector and Horace) make comeback(s).
Homer is less "down-home" than classical, to me. But I can see that association too. Very nice.

Hector was my Father's middle name, also my Grandfather's.It was a quite common name in the area where I grew up, nothern Nova Scotia.One reason, I'm told, was that many people who came as immigrants fron Scotland arrived on a sailing ship, the "Hector".And were, presumably, happy to have arrived safely in the new country.
So the name was passed on.
