Help[Opinions] Cetus?
What do you think of it? I recently searched up Greek Mythology and the name Cetus came up. I think it’s pronounced SEE-tus.

It makes me think of some scientific/biological term and not a name. It is also way too close to "fetus" for my liking.

Not as bad as Cletus, or maybe its worse? I don't know. It's not good in any case. I don't like it.

Cletus
I initially misread this as Cletus, which always makes me think of two things:
1. That one character from the Simpsons:
2. The alias Cletus Van Damme used by a crooked cop (more than one?) on The Shield.
I wouldn't say either are good associations. And I'm also sure I'm not the only person who would misread Cetus as Cletus.
Independent of that, Cetus sounds a bit botanical to me, like the genus of a plant rather than the common plant name (if that makes sense).
