Help[Opinions] Re: Cephas
in reply to a message by guru
Hank William Jr.'s nn is Bocephus. I just looked it up, and he was given that after a ventriliquist dummy that was on the Opry around the same time as his dad. But, after seeing the other posts about what cephas means, I don't think it's usable.

Cephas, like its Greek counterpart, Peter, means "stone" or "rock". "Ceph" means "head" or "brain", apparently, in medical terminology, but then it's part of a longer word. It's not like Cephas means "head" or "brain", but even if it did, I don't see how that meaning is so much worse than "stone" or "rock".
I don't see how the meaning renders it unusable. I think it's perfectly usable.

All of the other posts seemed negative to me. Especially in ewwww. I don't see it as a name. That could be me.

Many, though not all, of the other posts *were* negative, and you also are entitled to a negative opinion. That's not why I responded to you. I responded to you because you seemed to believe something that isn't true---that Cephas means "head" or "brain". True, I did then throw in my opinion that I think that Cephas is usable, but that was because you were saying that it isn't usable based upon a meaning that isn't correct.
