Aslan Jack

Eric Hyacinthe

I've never seen Aslan on a human or Hyacinthe on a male (or that spelling)

Hyacinthe on a boy is a huge, HUGE GP. I would never dare to use it but, for some reason, I like the idea of it. Maybe because it’s gentle but still has a lot of flair? I don’t think it matches with Eric, though.

I’m neutral on Aslan Jack. They’re both kinda trendy.

Maybe the French are better at Greek mythology ... or English speakers are just convinced of the femininity of flowers!

I've just been reading up on the mythology of Hyacinthe - I am not very au fait with mythology - I actually really like it as a male name. I just have seen it used on older women.

I think his name is really handsome.

There used to be a religious talk show on local radio, and one of the regular panellists was a Catholic priest called Father Hyacinth Someone! Not sure if he did or didn't have an e on the end, but he gave the programme an exotic air.

I like Aslan, but I don't think it goes with Jack.

Same with the other name-- Eric is okay and I love Hyacinthe, but they're way too different to be in the same name.

This is who I think of with Hyacinthe https://kushiel.fandom.com/wiki/Hyacinthe

I have heard of Aslan before. A man called Aslan King went missing last year with a sad end.

I’ve never met a man called Hyacinthe and the only Hyacinth I can think of is a tv character Hyacinth Bucket. Hyacinth spent a lot of time telling people the surname was pronounced Bouquet.

I think of Hyacinth as an old lady name but equally wouldn’t be surprised to hear it on a girl as older names are making a come back. I would be surprised to hear it on a boy though.

I've met an Aslan. I would have preferred Jack Aslan though.

Hyacinthe is ugly, for both genders. Even the flower is ugly.

Apologies. My reply was meant for the original poster.

Jack Aslan flows better.
Hyacinth on a boy doesn’t make sense. Besides Florian, I’m drawing a blank of a floral type name for a boy.

It does make sense for a boy if you look into its history.
