Is Hades a horrific boys name?

[JustALittleConfused]

That's it really. I've always thought it would be an awesome name and now I'm pregnant and my other half likes it I've been seriously considering it. Thoughts please..?

[DaleyBum]

Is he not the god of death or something?

[MardyBra]

Please tell me this is a wind up! Hades is a type of hell/underworld.

[VampyreofTimeandMemory]

I like the way it sounds so it's not horrible IMO but I would not use it anymore than I would use Poseidon - sorry.

[JustALittleConfused]

The god of the underworld, yes. But its not a heaven and hell thing. Everyone goes there when they die. That is the belief anyway x

[PassAFist]

You would name your child after the God of the Dead?

[gamerchick]

Well the depths of Hades is how I describe a phal curry.. so yeah the depths of hell.

I probably wouldn't use it as a name but man if you like it.

[VampyreofTimeandMemory]

it suits Ralph Fiennes in Clash of the Titans, just can't see it being suitable for a baby/child/any other human being.

[Glittery7]

It's pretty bad, yes.

[CheerfulYank]

Yes it is.

Haydn?

[BirdieWhirlie]

Bad idea. I see where you're going with it... but it doesn't work.

[VampyreofTimeandMemory]

Persephone is not actually a bad name though, weirdly enough.

[JustALittleConfused]

That's settled then, We've found the next dogs name :) Thanks ladies x

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Yes

[Dovahkiin]

Perfect name for a Rottweiler though.

[SweetCarolinePomPomPom]

Oh dear. No. It really is plumbing the depths, if you'll pardon the pun.

Would you call your child Satan? Hitler? Judas? Cruella?

[RoadToTuapeka]

It's dreadful. Please don't inflict a new child with it. If you love it so much why not change your own name by deed pole and let the child have a chance with a name that won't in its mockery/scorn/raised eyebrows. You could use Hayden or similar and use 'Hayds' as a nn if you like the sound, without god of the underworld type connotations in the pronunciation or spelling.

[Whowouldfardelsbear]

How about having it backwards like Naveah? Sedah -could be the male equivalent.

[Sid77]

Yes, it is horrific. Please don't do it.

[Procrastinating]

Yes.

How about Lucifer?

[peggyblackett]

Yes

[Nataleejah]

Wow! I quite liked Hades myself. (... But chose Heath instead)
What about Hadrian?

[squoosh]

Awwww little Hades is so cute, love his bright red eyes and air of decay.
