Help[Opinions] Horus
Horus is an Anicent Egyptian Mythology name that could possibly mean “ the distant one” or “one who is above, over” what do you think?
Ironically enough, I actually like the name Horus considering my name is Isis. But I think it’s probably a bit too much to use. Maybe as a middle.
"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all day."
Rate my personal name list please :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/217493

I like the concept, but that is an extremely unfortunate first syllable.

I'm sorry, but I hear "whore"-us.

If I heard it without seeing it, I'd mistake it for Horace, which I have a really bad impression of: it's similar to how I view Sherman or Humphrey or Lester.
When I see it written, I think of Spanish, like "que hora".
I think it'd make an interesting MN. It's not something I'd use, though.

Horus would be a cool middle name, but it would come across as over the top as a first name or get confused with Horace.
If Horace is the dry antiquarian professor who is a couple generations out of touch, then Horus is the nerdy guy with Egyptologist parents, who never wanted to be in touch to begin with. There is something a little endearing about each, and I would love to meet them, but I prefer both names in the middle slot.

I see the appeal. But it reminds me of Horace, of which I am not a fan.

I think that there are probably some people who would assume it was a male prostitute, and that isn't a chance I'd willingly take. I love ancient Egyptian gods and their names, but not for everyday use now.
