Help[Opinions] Gideon
Gideon has been on my mind a lot lately. I never used to like it before. The sound put me off, especially the hard G sound in the beginning syllable. But now it has grown on me quite a lot! What do you think of Gideon?
What would you pair it with? I think I might prefer Gideon as a middle name, so if you want, feel free to make combos with it in the middle name position. :)

I think Gideon is a cool name, if you don't mind the war-like associations.

The sound of the beginning of the name reminds me a little bit too much of the British word 'git', which isn't a good association to have, unfortunately. :/

Yeah, I can see that association. I'm American so I don't have that association as much, thank goodness.

You know what? Gideon totally grew on me over the last six months or so as well! It's a great name, I just worry about the potential for "Giddy" as a nickname.
I don't usually play around with combos, but I'd pair it with something one or two syllables and straightforward.

Yeah, I don't really like the nickname Giddy either. I think that's why I like the name better in the middle name spot.

I like Gideon too! I would probably have it as a mn if I ever used it, just because nicknames are hard to avoid around here and he would probably get Gid. Urgh.

Felix Gideon
Francis Gideon - actually this is a seriously nerdy combo

I've always liked Gideon. Just always liked it. It should come in, while some Biblical names that are getting tired, such as Isaac and Elijah, take a rest.
1
Yeah, I agree. Isaac and Elijah aren't as interesting to me.
