[Opinions] Re: Emilius & Vile
in reply to a message by Ninor
You live in Sweden, yes? So Vile probably wouldn't be as bad as in a predominately English speaking country. In a (very quick) search I can find records for Vili and Ville but not Vile. How is it perceived where you live? I am most familiar with Odin's brother being called Vili.
I like Emilius well enough, I don't love any of the Emil- names, this one is just as good as any other.

Vile and Vili is the same person, just as Odin and Oden. So I guess it's just a spelling thing.
There's only 85 men named Vile in Sweden, so it's a very unusual name so I'm not really sure how it would be perceived. Vide has gotten a lot more popular the last few years, so I don't think Vile would come across as weird though.

I assume you don't really like Vili? Bc that would certainly solve the issue with the English word 'vile', while still have the same meaning and story behind the name. I guess the pronunciation is a bit different though.
You're right - I'm not a fan of how Vili looks or sounds.
I've been thinking of Wile though, which would be pronounced the same as Vile here, but I'm not really liking the look of it, either. Naming tiny humans is difficult!

So true!
I had it all figured out what my child's name would be for years. And then I got pregnant...
