Anyone giving their kids historical names?

I name my son Cassius and no I'm not black.

Reddit

Gaius literally means "the gay one"

Excellent old Veeky Forums meme/10

I-I like Dante desu

no bully

I assume you're an Anglo/Germanic because thats not an uncommon name in Romance speaking countries.

uncommon in my Romance speaking country

In burgeristan the only people named Dante are black people

Aurelia.

Gilgamesh

Fuck off weeb

Your child is gong to hate you in primary school.

You give that as their middle name
George Ludwig Smith
Or
Ben Julius hotdog

I only know of the epic

>look up old family names
>Cicero
>Monoah
>Mortimer
>Valens

Valens is okay but I'm not sure it would work.

you could probably find a more common name

my name is alexander

>epic
fuck off reddit

Attila, Árpád, Bayan and Hásteinn for my sons.

I like Pelagius and Drácon.

It's confirmed a girl.

??

>all this talk about bullying
Fuck off all of you. I don't need your negativity so you please stop responding. I made this thread to canvas opinions on other names and to here other user's own thoughts on child-naming. My wife and I are pretty much decided on our choice but it's not final. After seeing your disgusting comments, however, I think I'll stick to my guns. Names are supposed to imbue STRENGTH, and STRENGTH attained through STRUGGLE. If my daughter's to make her way through life, she better get used to "bullying" (as if that's the only alternative anyway; you're all probably slimy neckbeards projecting your impotence onto my unborn child). Maybe America would be a better country if some of you manlets got roughed up a bit. There's a reason people like me voted Trump.

So one final time, niggers: LEAVE here and get out of your basements. Get some fresh air, see what the grass feels like. My daughter won't be a KEK like you all. I've been alpha my whole life, I've bagged a beautiful wife and it's a foregone conclusion my daughter will be a superior being, too. If people can't comprehend the poetic quality of my daughter's name they'll be fucking plebs like you.

>oh like the pastas al dente?

>not naming your son Ariston(means the best)
>not naming him Phainon
>not naming him Seleucus
>not naming him Urusrava
>not naming him Eurysthenes
in all seriousness how does Nicias sound for a name that is both historical and appropriate.
it sounds like a normal name(its a actually a dimunitive of Nikolaos), can be shortened to Nicky as well.

You are just begging for your child to be ruthlessly bullied

>all these posts concerned about the girl being bullied

I don't get it. I would think being a heterosexual female would be way more humiliating than being a lesbian. At least lesbians don't submissively bounce on top of penises. Or literally suck penises for that matter. It's like you guys are conflating the shame of being a gay male with anything that would apply to lesbians. Men and women aren't interchangeable like that, just because you can use the word "gay" in both cases doesn't mean they're anywhere close to the same thing.

>Nicias
>naming your kid after a failed general who caused the collapse of the athenian empire because "muh kidney problems" "muh eclipse" before getting mercilessly executed with his other by the Syracusans on capture and leading to thousands of his men being worked to death in quarrying marble.

Lesbia the Lesbian
Lesbia Lesbian
Lesbian Lesbia

Hey Lesbia whos your friend? You two dating?
Lesbia you fucking dyke
Hey Lesbia don't you have a pussy to be eating?

Shes not even born yet and we canalready bully her. You're making a mistake, and your kid will hate you for it.
Choose something less embarassing like Callista, or Julia, Seppia

Lesbia is the equivalent of naming a boy Gaylord. Just dont do it.

other generals*

t. honky who married a gook

>I'm not even supposed to be at work today!

Kids are not that nasty, are they?

>Hey Lesbia don't you have a pussy to be eating?

lol that's a compliment, not an insult. You're failing to understand taking dicks is degrading across both sexes and scoring pussy is cool across both sexes. At worst, the only real problem lesbians have is a lot of them don't take care of themselves and the contrast between fat hairy real life lesbians and hot porn lesbians is really dramatic.

>I don't need your negativity so you please stop responding.
>alpha

Weak bait, but I'm killing time anyways

t. never went to public school

>eating pussy
>something to be complimented

Maybe in a pussified country.

It's amazing how quickly adults forget what it was like to be a child

>Dude eating pussy is cool dude
Okay we're not talking about high school kids, we're talking about elementary/middle school, where ridicule is at peak levels and anything will be used to make other kids feel like shit

youtu.be/FCzdEAy8WOw?t=96

as long as it socially acceptable and fairly common name it would be acceptable i guess

>Kids are creative with their bullying.
yeah, that's why they will always find a reason to bully someone if they want in the end

Longer Greco-Roman first names usually work with one syllable Anglo/Germanic last names. Somehow it has good flow.

A few off the top of my head:
>Ulysses Grant
>Hieronymous Bosch
>Thelonious Monk

just dont name them after jews or arabs

I named my son Mohammed. We're not muslim and we're totally white. He's going to have an interesting life.

If I have a daughter someday, I would like to name her Saskia. Any Veeky Forums excuse to allow me to do this?

>My wife and I are going to name our daughter Lesbia for lack of an alternative.
You will ruin her life, kids will eat her alive at school

You're right, Lesbia is a great name. If it's a boy he should call it Super Cocksucking Faggot Who Loves Dicks In His Ass.

...

>everyone falling for the bait even after that second post
I don't even know what to say at this point.

if anything he's downplaying it

>falling for

What you baitfish posters don't understand is we don't care if it's bait and just respond to threads because we want to, not because we're convinced the OP is recounting honest real life stories.

If I had a daughter I'd name her Sibylla, after the queen of Jerusalem, not the prophet.
If it was a boy it'd be Belisar.

LMAO your non existent daughter, Lesbia, will kill herself by the age of 14 and your non existent wife will blame it on you and grow to resent you

Italians are Hellaboos even today...

No nigger you're reddit for getting baited by a shitty joke

And if you lecture younger kids on it, they honestly have no idea that they're bullying. They do not know the cruelty they inflict.
I did that. I didn't know. I should not have. I've never lived a day without that shame.

Depends what you mean by historical name. I'm planning on giving my kids traditional names from my country or just generally traditional Christian names, but I'll try to stick to names that are pretty much timeless, not going to ruin my kid's life just because of my hobby. I like Louis, Jules, Nicolas, Zoé, Pierre, Anne, Eugénie, Constance, Clémence, Isabelle, Louise, Jean, Julien, Léo, Céline, or Julie.

We have also great old names, like Théophile, Christophe, Henri, and many other, but I pity anyone called that in the 21st century.

>Lesbia

If it's a boy go with Gaylord

nicias is a fairly common ancient greek name, it doesn't have to be named after the general

>for lack of an alternative
you have literally infinite alternatives. What is wrong with you?

I can't say I'll be having kids, but I've considered naming a son Hadrian.

Boy and girl, Apollo and Diana.

If I have a retard baby I'll name him Charles II

>Casper
>Persian
Questionable.

I have half-Greek cousins named Leonidas and Archimedes, pretty rad in my opinion. They go by Leo and Archie.

Named my son Apollo.

Not one regret.

You have your reasons, and your daughter will have quite a valid reason for hating you.

Life is always a struggle, why make it worse for her right from the start? Just to name her after a figure whose only achievement was being a poet's married waifu? To show off your knowledge of irrelevant ancient history? If you want your daughter to be inspired by her namesake choose someone better ffs.

OP's totally baitin'
But my son's middle name is Cyrus in honor of my Jewish uncle who passed away. Can't go wrong with a badass Persian Messiah.

good that you recognize that names aren't timeless

Oh.
Yeah I'll give you that one.

Nobody's gonna name their kid Romulus? I live for stupid and petty insults and I can't think of a way to pick on someone with that.

Teagan is a relatively normal name.... and honors the city and people who first charged the persians at platea, despite facing the best of the persians and being a tiny city with only 1000 men on the field.

Aside from, you know, obviously being a really weird and uncommon name that doesn't fit in whatsoever. Aside from that.

You fell for bait fampai

Augustus is the only suitable historical name.

Lesbia will try and change her name before she's 18.

U wot m80

Are these portraits idealized? I swear most of these motherfuckers were handsome.

I wanna name my sons Trajan, Hadrian, or Khosrow.

Does this sound autistic? ;_:

just go for hadrian

hitler loved niggers.
hitler's biggest dream was to impregnate every single german woman with their semen.
he wrote about it in mein kempf , check it out it's there.

Around this time, yes, that's when it shifted from the hyper-realism of the republic busts. If you look at the busts of the patricians in the Republic era they emphasized all their warts and wrinkles, around Caesar's time is when they started cleaning everything up. So yes, it's probably what they looked like, in the same way a photoshopped model looks like the person that was photographed.

The problem is that you're a newfag and should go back to 9gag.

>tfw want to name kid "Hildur" but that's too edgy, and so is "Axel" even though they're my great-grandparents' names

What about Margot for a girl in Burgerstan or Canada?

I've always wanted to name a child Jefferson Davis. The look on his face after he learns about the Civil War in school would be priceless.

My dad grew up in Alabama and his best friend's name was Jefferson Davis

I'm Danish and I don't think i've ever meet someone named William.

Naming my son Constantine, Constantina if she's a girl.

Do you meet a lot of toddlers?

Sure, but it's one common hypothesis.

I'm thinking of giving my kids a Slavic (muh heritage) and Greco-Roman name (one part first, one part middle)

>Benedictus Bojan
>Zvonimir Augustus
>Octavia Mila
>Svetlana Helena

You will never have a son

Lemme get Agrippa dem titties girl

Were you homeschooled?
It's well known that morals can't even be comprehended until like age 6, and even after that it requires quite advanced kids to have a "basic" understanding of morals. Children literally don't have the capacity to be good out of a sense of altruism.
