But even I failed miserably with Alexei … because my 6 year old is far more stubborn that I could ever manage.

And for Catherine, maybe, too – though Catherine is one of those names where everyone assumes they know the short form, and you have to be far more insistent to get a non-obvious nn to catch on.

I’m ITA with photoquilty on this one! I can see using Hero only for the name of a character. Do I hear someone falling off a pedestal?

I’d only ever consider him for a boy, but even then – he just seems a bit too much to live up to; and even borders on pretentious, to my ear. To me, despite Hero’s history he feels just like those seemingly random virtues like Justice that people have begun to think are great names for their kid.

Hiro’s fairly cool though – and he was so cute on Heros! But that show lost me after the first season or two lol :)

Natalie, it’s funny; I adore Cordelia & Ivy together. One of the first combos I created for Matilda was Ivy Cordelia Jane, but I couldn’t risk it coz I really wanted to name a daughter Iris!

O endings to me seem very spunky and cool. I would use Hero, I love Hiro from Heroes.
