[Opinions] Re: Psyche
No, I don't think this would ever work for a name; I doubt it ever did, not even when people were much more literate about classical mythology and there was a fashion for naming your kids classical names.
Besides, it just doesn't sound attractive; sikey.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I'm not trying to start anything, but there is a huge uptick in naming kids after mythology. Rick Riordan and Harry Potter helped create this trend. Atlas ranks at 149, Penelope 23, Odin 327, and Persephone 775 (it hit the charts in 2019 at 922.)I would roll my eyes at a Psyche but I wouldn't be surprised to come across one.
