Help[Opinions] Re: Vigo
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
I like them all. Despite being a classic, Zeno has a very strong, modern sci-fi sound. Milo seems very soft. I think Vigo is a good middle ground. As for the spelling, the Viggo spelling looks less appealing to me and is far more likely to be mispronounced.

The Viggo pronunciation is less intuitive for me too. It looks more like it would have the Swedish pronunciation VIG-go instead of Vee-go.

I don't know, Viggo Mortensen was/is a popular and well-known actor so I don't think it'd be mispronounced too often. It's certainly more familiar than Vigo. I actually remember working at a movie theater when his film Hidalgo came out-- midwest town, sooooo many of the old folks who came to see it could not, for the life of them, say Hidalgo, so they all just wound up calling it the 'Viggo movie'. If a bunch of midwestern WASPy white seniors can say Viggo, I think it may be good lol
