You really do have to think about what you name your child so as not to give the other little bastards any more ammunition than they can already dream up on their own.
With my last name (Ashe) there were several that were totally out of the question, the two biggest being Harry and Jack. Can you imagine being Harry Ashe or Jack Ashe for the rest of your life? If I had named him that, I would hope that he would have one day smacked his momma in the mouth for it.
But, seriously, don't let stupidity on someone else's part stop you from naming your child what you want. I like Icarus Alexander, cause you have both the unusual and the usual and as was pointed out earlier, you can call him Alex.
Congratulations and best wishes to parents and child!

I like Icarus, but I could so see someone starting the nickname "Icky"... probably wanna think long & hard on that one. Congrats again though! Babies rawk.

Why not make a new name from your names, like my parents
James and
Nell did? It seems to work pretty well for me.
Let's see, Trevor & Amber...
Voram
Bertre'
Ram
OK, maybe that won't work this time...
Giles, dammit. If you're gonna geek name, go with Giles.
Giles Lorn.

How about "Cain"? It's unique, but completely bad fucking ass. If anyone makes fun of him, he can just be like "Read the Bible, bitch."

Ack, then they'd be like, "Yeah, well Cain was marked by God for that!" and proceed to pee on him and his lunchbox, too.
Ew.

That's actually just a good comeback regardless of your name or even the situation. I may use that the next time those loons down at the park interrupt me while swinging my kid:
"Excuse me, sir, have you been saved?"
*blink*blink*
{top of my voice} "Read the Bible, bitch!"
I think Icarus, although a very cool myth (one of my favorites, actually), would be an exceptionally bad name for a kid. If names mean anything, it may mean that your kid ends up being headstrong, rebellious, and unable to swim. Not a good combination.
I'm all for ancient myth based names... my daughter's named Aurora, and if I ever have another one, I kind of like Calliope (or maybe Euterpe (I'd love to see teachers stumble over that one)), but if you wanna go with a Greek myth, how about Orpheus or Narcissus? Those seem far more goth than Icarus.

And Orpheus is so much like 'Morpheus ' that they'll not only have a goff name, they'll also sound like they came to free you from the Matrix.

Granted, if you have any hopes of them being intelligent, geek is the way to go.

I used to think that, until I went back and played it. Jumping around shooting eggplant wizards in big mazes? It's like Metroid, only gay.

pwned. hell yea.
this sent me down memory lane. i grabbed a emulator and loaded the kid icarus rom up. after laughing like i was in an ether pit after leaving an opium den filled with midgets talking about whos tallest i discovered this list of truths and did a few quick google searches for evidance to jacks claim.
kid icarus had the gayest wings ever.



and the eggplant view

which is just totally beyond words fucking
strangedont forget these wonderfuck poses



and lemme get this straight.
i said straight in a kid icarus post? snoogins.hes got this pussy lilttle bow and arrow, wings, and some weird obsession with never sticking himself into pits facing the bottom of the screen to (if he gets near said pit he screams like a bitch) save this chick

who is
Palutena is the Goddess of Angel Land
now, if that doesnt scream post-op tranny to you? i dont know what the fuck should.
plus the fact shes held in something called the sky palace, and icarus here has the gaydar wings and still cant fly up to save shim is fucking some strange japanese comparison of shit that makes no sense.
shes even held by the wost done pre-op tranny in video game history
the tranny connection could explain the weird eggplant obsession?
