    One of my wifes friends named her child Horatio... from watching Hornblower. Wasabi's sisters all like watching the series too...

    I almost got away with giving my son the middle name of Horatio...almost. After choosing the first name I gave her the options of Byron and Horatio for the middle, let her feel involved since I did all the hard work.

    Alexander Horatio
    Alexander Byron

    I personally think Horatio Alexander would have been catchy, but I was vetoed.

    I like Byron, sounds regal.

    I didn't like Patrick O'Brien. Maybe he is an acquired taste, I dunno. I have yet to try Horatio Hornblower, so I think I'll give that a whack.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    The O'brien books had far more historical detail...too much for my taste. The hornblower focused more on the storyline.

    @Honestus: Didn't Horatio hate his name in the books? :p

    I wonder what happens when he's gonna find out if he's been named after a popular novel character.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
