A Welsh couple have used their interest in mythology to help name their six children, creating a family whose names are legendary to say the least.
Elaine and Tony Romaeo are the proud parents of six children aging from zero to twelve. In age order, they line up as:
Romeo Casanova Valentino (12)
Venus Valentine (11)
Angel Aphrodite (10)
Isis Ise (3)
Achilles Spartacus Mars (2)
Caesar Augustus Constantine (not yet born)
Mrs Romaeo said: “There’s enough boring normality in the world so we decided to draw inspiration from Roman, Greek and Egyptian history to name our children.
“When the new arrival comes in four week’s time he will be named after three Roman emperors.”
Which of these name combinations is your favourite? I personally find it easier to pick my least favourite. Achilles Spartacus Mars is the worst for me - the combination of foot anatomy and gladiator-slave, garnished with a chocolate bar/planet, is too much for me to handle.
“The look on the registrar’s face is always a picture when we tell them the names we’ve chosen,” quipped Elaine.
My suggestion for child number seven - Zeus Minotaur Ra.
