Alcide
What do you think? Too weird and unusual? I've been re-watching True Blood, and it just sounds so handsome.ETA: I guess I should specify that it is pronounced al-seed, not al-side.

This is a really old post, but I’m gonna comment anyway.Alcide really is a handsome name. Has a very sophisticated air.

I love this name, and the hot character from True Blood made me love it even more.

Same! Glad someone else feels the same way. Joe Manganiello really won me over on this name.

Hm, it does sound very handsome, but the spelling puts me off because of the -cideAs a middle it wouldn't bother me so much

My first thought was killing. It sounds a bit like something an exterminator would use. My second thought was “cash me Alcide”.

Yes, too weird.
The -cide part really puts me off, especially since is is a suffix basically meaning killing... genocide, suicide...

It is handsome! Is it Greek? Unusual names are good too.

According to BTN Alcides is Greek but Alcide is French and Italian

Yes, it is an older French name where I live, but it comes ultimately from Greek.

Yes, it is! It was the original name of Hercules.

Well, since cide means "killing of" is Alcide the killing of people named Al? Or what?
It just doesn't sound like a name to me.
