Help[Opinions] Re: Orpheus
in reply to a message by Quill
It's worse on a book character than a person, IMO. On a person it at least shows some conviction. On a character it's just contrived.
Anyway, objectively I think it's really neat. I like the Or-. Something kind of disappears into that R. Reminds me of like spinning down into the underworld. I'm also mostly acquainted with this name musicologically so it is very evocative of music and whatnot. Probably also for this reason I prefer Orfeo, which is one of the first operas ever, by Claudio Monteverdi the Magnificent. In this context the name evokes a great set of doors opening - in my mind this is the opera that began the strain of western art music that is my entire life's concentration. La di da.
Array used to be really into the name Morpheus and she'd pair it with Michael and I found that very overwhelming. Let's see.
George Orpheus - omg B. A. (badass)
Oh it's a good middle name for normalish first names. Not all of them though!
Lucian Orpheus
Frederick Orpheus
Solomon Orpheus
Orpheus Benedict - hey, that's a good one! You can't have it.
Orpheus ... Lindenbaum
Orfeo Benedict
Orpheus ... Elgar
Umm
Claudio Orfeo
Orpheus Quill
Orpheus Grove
All right, I'm out.
