Spyridon vs Michael
I read this on buzzfeed and thought it was interesting. I wonder if mom will really go for it if they get enough signatures.

To be honest, I would vote for Spyridion, just because I like it. I think the petition idea is silly though. Specifically because both names are honoring. This is not a case of really liking the names John and Balthazar and using the general public to help you decide... this is a couple argument being decided by the internet. I think they should go back to the drawing board for names... or compromise by using both.
PS - LOVE the nn Spyro, and I like Greek names in general. SPyridon is just old fashioned in Greece, not newsworthy.

They both want to name after their own father, so I understand the issue, it's not just that Dad wants to use an unusual name and Mom says no. That's part of it, but the honoring is an issue too. I signed the petition though, I'd rather see a Spyridon than a Michael any day.

It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. If they really can't agree on either of those names they don't need a petition they need to expand their horizons and find a name they both love. Hey, maybe even Spyridon Michael or Michael Spyridon would fit as the middle.
