Not unusable at all. Kind of cute, actually. I think it is a fine name, but the kind that requires parents to have a bit of a thick skin as they will undoubtedly get looks and comments when the baby is born. I feel like that's always the time when people talk about it. Then they all get used to it and by the time the kid is old enough to realize he/she could have had a different name, he/she and everyone else is already used to it.

I like it, but on a male.

I've met an Echo, but I still think it is unusable because it is really pretty exclusively associated with the sound in the English language. I doubt many people would even be aware that there is a Greek Nymph with the name. That said I do really like the sound of Echo and it's one of my long time guilty pleasures. I'd use it for a dog in a heartbeat.

I knew of an Echo. I went to school with her brother Logan. The sibset was Logan, Echo, and Summerly. I think it's quite usable.

Yeah, I'd say it's unusable in most places where there isn't a significant hippie population. I think it's silly, myself. Sounds like the kind of name a Mary Sue in a fanfic would have.

Not unusable, but ugly. I wouldn't want it to be MY name.

I like it. I love Hero and a lot of other feminine names ending in '-o' for some reason. I don't think it's unusable. It's got a sort of new age trendy-ness that celebrities like.
