It has such meaning to the father. I say go for it! The great thing about having a unique name is that people your son meets will remember him and want to know the meaning behind the name. Pretty cool if you ask me :-)

Siding with tradition on this one. Moreover, the supposed "difficulty" in pronouncing a given name is moot in today's world: there are plenty of athletes and entertainers with "unusual" names that people easily grew accustomed to pronouncing and now don't think twice about them as being "unusual." I can't stand the simpletons that argue that the kid will get picked on if he or she has a non-cookie cutter name. I recently moved to a neighborhood in a suburban area, and given the different cultural backgrounds of five different houses, you have names that are definitely "out of the ordinary" - do you think for a second that any of the kids pick on each other because of their names? I'll tell you now: no, they don't... it's not even an issue. For kids that do pick on others because of their names, appearance or other characteristic, that's a reflection on their parents and whatever narrow-minded view of the world they project on their kids. Sorry, Kseniya... please just give him this, even if it means he owes you. ;-)

as a fellow Greek man it is tradition to name your first born son after your father. Don't break tradition

Neither One is too odd and one is to common. Why should a child be hunked down with a previous other relative name NOT. Besides so called lineage and LONG AGO

I'd choose it over Michael even without dad's reasons. I think he makes very valid points and you should go for it!

please don't give that new baby either as a first and, only as a middle name. Neither sounds pleasant as a first name

Spyridon it is! You can call the baby Spiro. The husband and father-in-law will be happy. And you will have a happy home. St. Spyridon is a wonderworker. Read up on all his miracles.
