Help[Opinions] Eros
Is Eros suitable for a male human? How would you likely pronounce it? Better as a middle name? General thoughts?

Yes - but as much by the why - w/cross references
Yes - considering all possible doubt, yes
If we consider a possible rise in Greek Mythological names - perhaps with Wonder Woman's Diana? Why not?
Joiya's June 6th remark "I love names that go all out" rings true. (Joiya - Thank You for this phrase, whether it is a reminder or even an invocation for Name Geeks, I certainly smiled when I read that comment.)
Also, if we consider Number1212 - June 19 query for Zenobia--and especially (Zena / Xena - with Mirfak's response & especially the response from Myosotis who elaborated more on the "Power Girl" themes. (With Xena - I love when a nickname is spelled remarkably different than its formality; especially when the nickname spelling reaches more directly for the root than the formal name, and having this twist occur on the first letter creates intrigue).
Eros would add an attribute to the rise in Greek Mythological names, and, open a necessary countertheme to the badass Powergirl themes, considering the rising number of women becoming the primary providers / heads of household while more men become the "stay at home" subordinates. Why not Eros?
Awesome query, Beemo.

In spite of the singer Eros Ramazzotti, I find this name too sexual and not really usable. It would be particularly awkward on a person who turned out to be, well, on the homely side.

I say EAR-ross. I'd keep it in the middle since the god = erotic love and the fact is quite evident from the name itself.

Where I live it would seem silly. About like Cupid. Not really usable.
I'm not sure people would feel certain it was really supposed to be Eros and not a made-up name based off, say, Eric and Enos and Ares. It might not even be immediately recognized for what it is, and on that basis, one might 'get away with it.'

If you live permanently in Italy, then beyond doubt yes-otherwise it's rather advisable;
exept you are a huge fan of the marvel(l)ous Eros Ramazzotti.
I'm living in Germany and here this name would be considered mega-embarrassing and
quite foolish, with almost absolute certainty one would feel silly with it

I'm in the U.S. and I'm fairly certain not many have heard of it. It certainly isn't common over here and I highly doubt anyone would be able to pronounce it correctly on the first try. Eros, you're off of the list.

Luckily, the best idea & a wise decision (-:

Hi !!!
I know one boy named Eros. Here in Italy is used as given name and it is #191 for births in 2015.
I like this name: it is short but mythological.
I know many people considers it weird and tacky and strange as well because of its link with erotic love.
But I can think only about a lot of wonderful myths and the beautiful statue made by Canova!
So I like it very much.
I pronounce it EH-ros.
I think it would be great as FN but not as middle name. This is because it is particular so it would be more kitsch as middle but great as first name!
I rate it 8/10 (with 10/10 as 'I surely would use it')
