Help[Opinions] Re: Myrrh (as a name)
in reply to a message by Feorsteorra
It's the kind of name I would have used when I was fourteen, in one of my many unfinished stories. I probably would have used it in a fantasy setting. Nowadays, if I picked up a novel in the bookshop and seen "Myrrh" as a character name in the blurb, I'd put it straight back down. Sorry.
However, in Aristophanes' comedy Lysistrata (pro tip: don't read it), there's a female character named Myrrhine. I think that's such a pretty name, it's just a shame about its most well known usage.
