Virgil, the ancient poet admired by Dante, is Dante's guide in Hell in Dante's Divine Comedy.-- Anonymous User 7/15/2005
'Vergil' is the name of Dante's twin brother in the hit video game series 'Devil May Cry'. According to the Wikipedia entry to the Devil May Cry games:
"The story alludes to The Divine Comedy in the game's areas (roughly resembling and representing inferno, purgatorio, and paradiso) as well as in some of the character names; however it is purely an aesthetic similarity, and indeed the game borrows from a very wide range of sources for inspiration."-- Virjill 9/10/2006

Unfortunately, it seems like this name has been dragged into the "redneck" stereotype by popular entertainment. It just reminds me of the characters on "Mama's Family" or a one-liner from Jeff Foxworthy.-- leananshae 12/17/2007

I prefer the spelling 'Vergil' as it is closer to the original Latin name (Vergilius).-- kateyvic 8/15/2008
I used to like this name, but now it sounds outdated and redneck to me. Immediately, I think of the hideous politician Virgil Goode.-- bananarama 6/24/2009

Virgil sounds really nerdy/geeky to me. I always picture it on a sort of awkward, rather unattractive teenage boy.
But at least it's the name of a Roman poet, which is cool!-- Anonymous User 5/14/2012
