I think that any name that can be miscontrued by young and old minds alike into sexual innuendo is probably not one I'd use. I, too, wish I could use it for the poet/Dante reference, but I think the reference would be lost on many where I live anyway.
Overall, it's one of those that I like but wouldn't use. Maybe as a mn or with a nn?
Gil could be stretched out of it! My
Divine Comedy quotient is filled with
Dante, a name that sounds and looks great, and my future DH actually agrees on!
