"Poseidon" and "Medusa" are actually very pretty names.

What about names like Aphrodite and Athena? There's nothing wrong with having names like that.

It's a good thing 21st century names aren't popular anymore... "John! Come inside before you catch a cold!" or "Don't you pull that crap with me, Casey!" that could be what it's like in a couple centuries.

The name "John" has been common for several centuries.

I'd love it if people still had ancient names... "Xerxes, you're driving like 15 miles over the speed limit!" "Atilla, you need to chill the fuck out."

"Dionysus! You're needed down in the principal's office PRONTO!" I think we need to bring back these names.

For the most part, yes... but the name "Zeus" is pretty badass.

I can’t imagine that a parent chose to say this for the rest of their lives, “Hey Banjo! Dinners ready!”
