Do you think Apollo is too much for a child? I really love it, its quite handsome and funky.

MN suggestions?

More importantly, what would be some nice male siblings that would fit with Apollo?

I don't think that Apollo is too much for a child at all. And I too love it! I debate over whether I would use it or not though.

I looked up Apolo Ohno out of curiousity, turns out his middle name is Anton. Apollo Anton is pretty nice : )

Apollo Everett
Apollo Gabriel
Apollo Harper
Apollo Ignatius
Apollo Maxim
Apollo Sebastian
Apollo Thaddeus
Apollo Bodhi
Apollo Rafferty
Apollo Taj
Apollo Xylander

I think that Apollo & Caspian or Apollo & Aras sound wonderful.

No, I don't think so. Some god/goddess names like Aphrodite and Poseidon are, IMO, a little too much a child, but Apollo is just in the border. I think it's very handsome and cool.

Apollo combos (I hink that it needs a little bit more traditional MN to balance out its eccentricity):

Apollo Jude
Apollo Marius
Apollo Casper
Apollo James
Apollo Thaddeus
Apollo John
Apollo Simon
Apollo Andrew
Apollo Raphael
Apollo Oscar
Apollo Felix
Apollo Edgar
Apollo Leopold
Apollo Edward
Apollo Henry
Apollo Daniel
Apollo Oliver
Apollo Jasper
Apollo Benedict
Apollo Joaquin

I think Apollo could definately work. It's one of those names that grows on you. Siblings would have to have equally strong names, though.

I like Apollo Marius and Apollo Raphael. I also like Apollo Gabriel.

For brothers I like: Callum, Roland, Gavin, Hayden, Tristan, Drake, Darian, Gabriel, and Dante.

The name mostly reminds me of Lee "Apollo" Adama from Battlestar Galactica. In a TV show it's okay but in real life it's a bit too much in my opinion.

Apollo is nice, I wouldn't be too concerned with wether it works or not, only when he's 13 I'd be worried ;)

For siblings I'd avoid Gods, otherwise it's gets very wannabe & themy

Apollo and:
Cairo
Alessio
Leonardo
Stellan
Salvador
Bronte
Caspian
Calix
Jules
Luca
Lucian
Maximillian
Nicodemus
Spiridon
Traian
Constantine

do you like any of these?

I can only think of Apollo 13, and the rest of the Apollo missions. Its not a name to me, although I do like the sound of it as a word.

I think with the right fn, it would make a great mn.

My only thought for Apollo is as a mn for Dante = Dante Apollo.

Would Zeus and Poseidon be too much for sibs?
