If I ever saw a kid named Odysseus...I don't even know what I would think. Other than 'poor kid'.

I like Christine, Linda, and Mary, but I don't know which characters they're supposed to be.

Really? I think it's a pretty awesome name =/ I mean, Greek hero and all that. I'm a big nerd and a huge fan of mythology though.
I don't like any of the names a ton though. I mean, John or Henry being a "dramatic" name?

Well, I don't dislike the meaning behind the name; I mean, for meaning, names like Odysseus and Achilles would be amazing. But I think it's a name that would only work on a man from Greece. And probably Ancient Greece at that.

"dramatic" refers to the fact that these are all characters from plays, actually.
