Veeky Forums, I'm considering naming my daughter "Lesbia." Convince me out of it

The problem isn't that its from literature, is that its from a poem. Only queers like poetry, dude.

So accurate I actually raised my eyebrows

I don't get it. There aren't a ton of lesbians in Korea.

She'll get bullied

Why not Iris? There's a Greek mythological name that sounds nice and feminine in today's English, while not allowing dumb sounding diminutives.

No. Au Contraire. She will never be called "lesbian" because it is too obvious, too stupid even for a child.

If you have a son please call him Gaylord.

ah shit i'm stuck in a goddamn time warp again

i stayed in a Gaylord hotel recently

>tell your concubine you want to call your daughter galatea
>she calls the police and tells them you're an incestuous pedophile

I say double down and name her cunteater

kek

Just do it bro

she wasn't actually his daughter
It's a beautiful name

>not having at least one son named Lesbotron

I can't tell if this is sincere.

If she's not a lesbian, it will be a weird name. But if she is a lesbian, it would be an absolute 10/10 name. Do you think it's worth the risk?

Too much like ISIS.

>he didn't play the Aladdin porn game

all I would ever think about

>tfw ISIS ruined the name Isis forever :(

>lesbian, it would be an absolute 10/10 name

No. It would be a 2/10 name either way. If she's a pornstar it would be bumped to 4/10.

Given how many times I've seen this exact thread, if you do it'll be a very common name in the future. Best not to.

noh_w, that's great

good taste senpai

Lesbia was a bitch to Catullus

i really hope some of the posts here are bait.
giving ur child a greek/latin name is the most autistic thing you could ever do, the child would get severely bullied
it's not like you're naming a character on an rpg

I think you're haunted and enslaved to your social posture

No it's not

yeah, because i'm not autistic

You called me - autistic?
Do you know how ridiculous that is? I suppose if you did, you would have kept your inane little comment to yourself. I am a modern day aristocrat, not of genealogy but of the soul, of the mind. You, the unthinking commoner are blinded by your own pretensions and ego to the truth of beauty. Do you fathom the depth of social clarity I have attained? The autistic is the self absorbed and the outwardly retarded, such as you yourself exemplify in your clever little comment. You should be forced to realise the absurdity of your paradoxical claim that another is autistic, when you cannot even begin to understand your own mental enslavement. In short, you are an uncreative nothing and I shall have nothing to do with you. Ta-ta.

Other choices:
>Livia
>Octavia
>Agrippina
>Vipsania
>Poppaea
>Galeria
>Claudia
>Sabina

Oh god, my name is Livia Claudia, I am not taking this comment in a good way

are you going to be my erudite classical gf?

Do you know how cruel teenaged girls are? That will be directed at your little girl.

Please sit on my face

Stop with the hard on for the romans. Just give her a normal name- it makes you look like a pretentious twat when your kids have those kinds of names.

name her something cute like Clare

I named my daughter Livy

Penthesilea is more patrician

Nobody is naming their daughter "Lesbia", calm down

This. user isnt going to procreate

Why not just Cynthia ?

It's normal enough AND literary

cunt name

Just choose a name from the Bible like any normal person does.

>not naming your son Richard N. Uranus
>not naming your daughter Scarlet Kant
pleb

This. She'll move out at 18 and never speak to you again.

Why do (you) want to be convinced out of it? It's a fine name. Her peers will be accepting, she'll grow to be proud of it, your own peers will think nothing of it after the initial shock wears off, you'll only really upset (perhaps) your parents and others of that generation but everyone loves a baby and that'd be just too bad! Plus, the rash of soon to be born Adolphs (if the Hitler youth determines to put its money where its mouth is) will throw whatever initial controversey into the shade. Sappho is a poet's poet, her island is still beautiful, and so far as Catullus is concerned, an inspirer of some of the best Latin lyric verse from thematic pole to thematic pole. Go for it, I say.

> not naming her Traktorina

Do you even celebrate the industrial progress, comrade?

OK, call her “Teslacar” and try to get some dosh from Musk in return, you crapitalist swine.

No, you're not actually considering naming your daughter "Lesbia".

Lol good troll.

Don't forget

>Metella

Then she'll hate you after everyone starts calling her Metallica.

nigga u serious? stupid ass kids wont know and/or care where it is from, they will bully her ass simply because it is similar to lesbian lol

revelation jones

damn that rules

That's a good strategy. She'll hate her name so bad, she'll never become a lesbian.

This thread is posted every month and on each occasion it receives over one hundred replies because almost nobody remains on this board for more than three weeks.

except for you. fag.

You know what, you're right.

No it's not. You are vastly overestimating the maturity of a child.

I'm 27 and would still make fun of a kid/person named leabia

>lit is so full of newfags that they are responding genuinely to pasta

I named my son Julius.

He's a smart lad

Thanks, senpai. My general view of people is that they quickly tire. Plus, were I to meet a baby Lesbia how could I avoid smiling?

This.
Once someone answered "what is 1 + 1" that should have been the end of math.

that one has been revitalized by blacks recently so it would feel even more unimaginative than I'd normally consider it to be

What Latin name is still pure? Can I name my son Felix?

Phoebe, from the Greek however. Perhaps, Candice?

Sylla
Catilina
Brutus
Sejanus
the list goes on

Phoebe belongs to the Chinese community.
Candice is a cunt name, don't make your kid a cunt.

Just making etymological considerations based on the given criteria. Personally, I like the name Rose. That smell bad to you as well?

She'll hate you forever and probably sue you like the case between the man and his daughter, "Metallica"

Look it up.

>tfw can't listen to isis anymore

Just do Sabina.
Or if you do greek or roman make it a middle name.

>naming your son after Brutus
cruel
Name your son Socrates. Latin names are overrated.

Brutus was a good boy who dindu noffin

My father came very close to naming me Jupiter. I wonder how it would have turned out.

>in highschool
>chilling with friends
>overhear a teacher calling a kid "Dionysus"
>it's a black kid
>another black kid asks him "hey yo de fuck yo name mean nigga"
>Dionysus: "it's a greek god of wine n shit"
>"yo nigga das pretty cool"

have you ever had a kid named "Gabe" in your school?

tfw I'm latin american and can use most of these for a daughter and no one would bat an eye.

Out of these I'd go for Agripina, and Pina for her hypocoristic.
