Help[Opinions] Re: Rio
in reply to a message by Kora
I knew a guy from school named Rio and honestly, no one ever mentioned him the song or teased him for it, at least not during the many years of schooling. As far as I could tell, the only "razz" he received about it was when one of his friends jokingly called him "Rio de Janeiro", which oddly enough is what inspired his parents to name him in the first place. I can't remember exactly but I think he mentioned that his parents where either from around there or had visited. Something to that effect.
It's a nice name. It's short and simple and it's also uncommon but not outlandish or completely unheard of. I wouldn't use the name personally but if I did (for purely hypothetical reasons), it would be for boy, which is where I prefer the name. Rio sounds way more masculine and boyish, not one bit feminine. And I'm not just saying this because of the association I had. I'm really not. Even without him, my views on the name would still be the same.
