Meaning: a hero
The name Hero originates in Greek mythology and was feminine. I mostly associate this name with the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, which features a character called Hero (although she's rather pathetic compared to the much feistier and funny Beatrice). When I first read the play as a teenager the name really stood out as something very unusual and appealing.
I wonder whether the name Hero puts too much pressure on a young child. Perhaps there would be the potential for bullying because of such a high standard to live up to. But I feel like this would be less of a problem for a girl with the name. I much prefer this for girls than boys. I think it has great middle name potential and how classy to have a name with Greek and Shakespearean roots!
I think Hero may be my new name crush. I love it.
