Re: If you had to name your child after a person
in reply to a message by Jude
I've always been fascinated by Alexander the Great, and it's one of my favorite names as well so that would be the obvious choice for a boy. I'm not really a fan of naming children after famous people though so I've never given this much thought. A less obvious choice could be Nelson, after Mandela. In high school all classes were named after famous people, like Astrid Lindgren, Socrates etc. My class was "Rosa Parks" so I have a soft spot for Rosa because of that, but I don't really like the name. Maybe I could use something like Rosalie instead. Or Jane/Austen for a girl, for obvious reasons.
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are. PNL: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/45898Top rated: Alice and Henry
