Comments for the name Orpheus

Comments for ORPHEUS:

This is a wonderful name. And I think there is a song with Nick Cave about him.

This would be a cool name for a black cat, but for a person, it's a tad too pompous.

I like the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, but as a name it's a bit odd.

I love this name! The book "The Princetta" by AnneLaure Bondoux has a character in it named Captain Orpheus McBott.

In Greek mythology Orpheus was the son of Apollo and Kalliope, and the brother of Linus.

Yeah, and he supposedly introduced the eromenos-erastes system to the Thrakians.

I didn't know who "Orpheus" was. I knew this name from "Samba de Orfeu" by Louiz Bonfa and the anime "Phi Brain". I like how this name sounds like :3 (Umm, no "Orfeu" variant?)
