The thing is you and I simply share a different perspective on the same matter. You’re looking at this from the parents POV, I’m looking at this from the kids POV…granted maybe I’m just talking out of my ass and if I stop being single I might do a 180 on the matter…that day is not today however, and regardless if it is or isn’t, wanting to give a kid a unique name does not make me a cynic.

I'm looking at both points of view as well as I can. I don't mean to call you cynical as an insult, honestly. I'm just going off the majority of feedback I've heard for the idea. To go to numbers, I've had around 70% of the people I've asked, and that's probably getting close to 30 or so people now, tell me that it's a cute, good idea.

I've been having trouble stretching my logic to agree with your argument. Pieces of it, yes, I totally agree. But, at the same time, I've also been trying to highlight that if they mirror the real world, then chances are that yes, background or second-generation characters would also bear the name Pyrrha. Would a Lancaster child bear a different name? Probably. I never said that it had to be her FIRST name, did I? I said name. I don't care if it's her primary given name, or her third middle name. I just like the idea of a tribute in there somewhere from a psychology point of view.

Would I love a unique name? Yes. I would. Would I love a sentimental name, like Summer? Not as much, but probably so. Would I love it if this theoretical child ever existed? Ehhh... I'm still an Arkos shipper, so.... Yes, I would, but part of me would probably be bitter about the other ship. It's like the whole Zutara thing from A:TLA, except nowhere near as vitriolic.

It's more an acknowledgement of Pyrrha's role in both of their lives. Do I agree that the child would be daunted by that? Well... yes and no. See, if the child chose to go into a role other than being a hunter, they would already be judged for that because of lineage. If the surname Rose-Arc was used, then there is no hiding that. No changing. So, already, she's under immense pressure to perform to the standards of her parents. Giving her the name Pyrrha doesn't really change the fact that she's under pressure. But, at the same time, I don't see how it would increase the pressure on her either. Honestly, parenting style is key to how the child reacts to pressure. It's the same with bullying, it's the same with school stresses, and it's the same with expectations.
