What do you think of the name “Ligyron”, the original name of the hero Achilles?

    I guess it would depend on the context? If you are thinking of naming a child Ligyron I would say that’s a terrible idea. If you’re looking for a name for the hero of your fantasy novel or D&D game, then I’d say it’s probably a good choice.

      Exactly what I was thinking. Good for fiction, but in real life… cruel schoolchildren are cruel and unusual names just encourage them.

      This. Name your kid something normal, where they don’t have to sigh in exasperation every time a teacher can’t pronounce it or feel victimized every time a kid uses it as bullying fodder. It’s their name they have to live with for at least 18 years, not a name for a cool sword.
