[Opinions] Medea
Do you like Medea?
Replies
Love the sound, but has a bad association with Madea from Greek mythology.
Yes, I do!
Love it, though I'd have mixed feelings about it if were my name because of the myth...killing children is heavy, even as a distant association.
I have actually met a couple people named it.

It sounds nice, but the association with the mythology character is awful. Amedea is a better alternative.
Not particularly. I just don't think a woman who killed her kids is a good namesake.
I love the sound, but I’m not sure how it would go down irl. Medea’s a big guilty pleasure for me, but I would love to meet one. I’d also gladly use Amadea.
Isn’t it a pretty well-known myth? Anyone who ‘s vaguely familiar with Greek mythology and/or theatre will make the association.
I think it's interesting and I want to like it, but it's a little iffy as a baby name given the myth. Can't help but think of the Madea movie series either.
