NOOOO sorry. That’s too much! Try using on of these as a mn. I’m a teacher so I know that kids can be cruel in school and he will get teased tremendously if he has this name!

No, sorry! I think its too much. I would say use one of these as a mn but not both. I like Achilles best.
Unfortunately, I agree with 2nd and 3rd poster... I think that name would put a target on a kid’s back. Plus, if you have any subsequent children, you would probably feel pressure to pick a name equally "unique" if you use it.
If you both are open to it, pick a fn from Greek mythology that is still very handsome, but not so unusual and use a rare name from Greek mythology as a mn.
Suggestions:
Alexander Achilles
Alexander Apollo
Alexander Helios
Alexander Hyperion
Alexander Odysseus
Alexander Persues
Alexander Theseus
Damon Achilles
Damon Apollo
Damon Eros
Damon Helios
Damon Hyperion
Damon Odysseus
Damon Perseus
Damon Theseus
Damon Zephyr
Jason Achilles
Jason Apollo
Jason Eros
Jason Helios
Jason Hyperion
Jason Odysseus
Jason Perseus
Jason Theseus
Nestor Achilles
Nestor Apollo
Nestor Helios
Nestor Hyperion
Nestor Odysseus
Nestor Perseus
Nestor Theseus
By the way, I love the meaning of Jason... "to heal." Nice choice if either of you work in the medical field.
There are many lovely options for girls, too... Alexandra, Anthea, Athena, Cassandra, Chloe, Danae, Daphne, Hermione, Ione, Iris, Kalliope, Larisa, Maia, Melaina, Melia, Melissa, Penelope, Phoebe, Rhea, Selene, Thalia, Theia.
Best wishes!

Well, if you want to let fear be your guide, and just bow your head and stay with the status quo, then please listen to the above. Otherwise, do whatever you want!
