Help[Opinions] Name on a BA - Over the top?
I saw this name on the local BAs this morning:
Melissa Venus Aphrodite
WDYT? I think Melissa is fine, but Venus AND Aphrodite as middle names? Wasn't one name of an ancient love goddess enough? As much as I love mythology, I personally find both Venus and Aphrodite a *tad* prentious (because the names are so heavily associated with their mythological namesakes that they're not easy to carry - unless you're Venus Williams), but using both Venus and Aphrodite in one name is almost ridicilous.
So, I think it's tacky and repeative. It's like calling someone Cinderella Snow White Rapunzel, or Cleopatra Nefertiti Hatshepsut.
