Help[Opinions] Re: Ganymede
in reply to a message by Array
I am torn.
On the one hand, it does sound absolutly lovely with something like John. I've always really liked the character from Greek mythology. (I like Hyacinth for a boy for the same reasons I like Ganymede.) Ganymede is on my list of male GP names. As a middle name, I'm inclined to say, heck yes! Go for it!
...but I'm fairly certain that the name Ganymede is the root of the word catamite. Which, needless to say, puts me off of the idea of using it a bit- almost feels like naming the kid John Catamite.
