HelpRe: Romeo : Solid Opinions Needed
in reply to a message by EscalusEmex
Even without the Shakespeare association it sounds romantic-heroish. I don't get tragedy from it even though I should. It's just the shape of the name, it's sort of dashing.
I don't think the naming rationale (that "Romeo" represents love and romance generically and it's used purely out of bitterness) is believable. I think you should make her have a man in her past who was actually named Romeo, who she thinks of when she reflects on her choices with regret - like the mom in the movie Inside Out thinking of the Brazilian pilot when her husband annoys her.
In real life I think people don't use Romeo because of the tragedy but when someone's actually named it, it becomes normal very quickly.
