Help[Opinions] Re: Over-Ambitious Names (And an Over-Ambitious sibset) :')
in reply to a message by RuralRuna
I know of a Zeus who has an adult daughter Athena.
I don't really think there are "over-ambitious" names (although any deity name intrinsically implies consideration of power), just awkward ones from my perspective, like I think I'd actually feel marginally uncomfortable calling someone Adonis, the same way I did when I met someone named Honey. Lucifer is another one that seems like it'd be awkward, but I feel like I could adjust to that if it were popular.
Country names seem unappealingly ambitious (or inhumanly grandiose yet too generic) to me, I guess, like Ireland and China.
