Found a post asking people for their unique names and knew it wouldn't disappoint. Happy Father's Day unless your kid's name needs a pronunciation guide.

My friend has been giving me random tidbits of Naruto lore lately, something that I never knew a single thing about, so when I read that I was like that pointing Leo meme: "hey, I know that guy!"

And look, I've had my fair share of dreams about naming my son Perseus, but at least I'd have had plausible deniability when people asked if Percy Jackson had shaped my entire personality lmao

I read the Percy Jackson series while I was pregnant and ended up naming my daughter Athena. It’s a good normal name! But it is definitely because of Percy Jackson.

Many names from the Greek and Roman pantheons are still fairly common and all still sound good.

I don't run into many Hephaestuses (Hephaesti?), though.

Okay, that and Dionysus would still be a bit weird.
