[Opinions] Demetrius
What are your thoughts on the name Demetrius? I think it has a nice sound. Would you prefer Dmitri, Demetrio... How about middle names?I know a guy named Demetrius, middle name Tyler, and he goes by the nickname "Meech". Opinions on any of its nicknames?

I prefer Dmitri but Demetrius is okay especially if you want to acknowledge your Greek ancestry. I do not like the nickname Meech. I knew a Dmitri and he went by the full version. My absolute favorite form of the name is Dmytro but pronunciation would be an issue here in the USA.

I love Dimitri to death but never really cared for Demetrius. I know a Dimitri "Meech" but I don’t like the nickname. My (hypothetical) Dimitri would simply be Dimitri.Reminds me of the handsome fella from Anastasia.

I think that Demetrius sounds and looks cool.

Demetrius is my favorite form, followed by Dimitri. I like how it sounds masculine and intelligent.Meech is kinda awful ngl. If I had to use a nickname it would be Mitri I guess.Middle name ideas:
Demetrius Silvan
Demetrius Theodore (too long?)
Demetrius Orion
Demetrius Isaac
Demetrius Vincent

I like it.
The nicknames are difficult.
Meech is kinda nifty.
When I try to think of nicknames I just think of the contraction of Demetria, Deitra, which I like. For a guy maybe it could become Deitry (like D-tree) or just Deet. But those aren't really any better than Meech.
I look them up ... Dimo is alright! I kinda like that.
I once knew a guy whose name was Mitra (but that was his full name and it's not related).
I guess I like Demetrio and Dimitri more than Demetrius, but not by a lot. Dimitri is sort of the "default" form in my mind, because I've seen it the most, but if that changed I'd probably switch preference.
Demetrius Tyler is a good combo.
Demetrius Virgil?
