My wife wants a horrible name for our daughter — people will think she’s a ‘skank’

It’s a modern-day Greek tragedy.

A dad-to-be is lamenting the name his mythology-loving wife wants to give their daughter as he fears she will be looked at as a three-syllable “skank.”

“This has led to an extremely severe but also extremely stupid argument,” the second-generation Greek immigrant — who had agreed on a mythological name with his wife — griped in Slate’s advice column this week.

“You see, my wife wants to name our daughter ‘Clytemnestra,’ and I am dead set against it,” he described.

“None of my relatives back in the old country bear that name. Nobody I’ve asked knows anyone named Clytemnestra,” added the anonymous man, who favors alternatives like Penelope, Andromache, or Galatea.

In the ancient writings of Sophocles, the titular maiden Clytemnestra is the adulterous wife of the general Agamemnon. She murdered him in a revenge plot.

“She’s thought of as the skank who murdered her husband when he finally came home and was about to discover the affair she’d been carrying on while he was away,” the advice seeker penned.

“She’s dead set on Clytemnestra, and this has gotten to the point where we’re both digging in our heels.”

As this couple experiences an epic odyssey of emotions, Clytemnestra isn’t the only ancient Greek moniker that’s raising eyebrows.

Experts say naming a child Adonis, the handsome lover of Aphrodite, is a “gamble” as it sets the kid up for a life revolving around the heightened expectations of their outward appearance.

The punished Greek titan Atlas — still holding up the world as ordered by the gods — is also a name that’s risen greatly in popularity, as has Athena.

One mother recently named her child Kynzlynleigha Everella, which stopped loved ones dead in their tracks.

But in NYC, the less-fussy Emma and Liam remain the most popular baby names.
