原I'm changing my name to Achilles. Why? Because it's a really cool name, it makes me feel good, and I have the balls to not care if ignorant people think I'm pretentious for it. Why should I not name myself something that I love and inspires me? Out of fear of how people will react to it? I think I'd rather be "pretentious" or "not taken seriously" than a coward.
原I love this name! It is a strong name for a boy, and would be great with Alexander. Achilles Alexander or Alexander Achilles. With the nickname Lex! So handsome!
原I wanted to name my son this, but I had a girl :-) So years later, I got a German Shepherd Dog and his name is Achilles! Fits as a dog name much better than a human name. Awesome name either way though.
原I've heard that the name Achilles can translate to something like "the grief of the people," which is pretty much the saddest thing in the world. It is a lovely name, and Achilles is a fantastic figure (albeit flawed), but I'd say be careful about this as a first name, as it really can sound pretentious.
原My youngest son is named Achilles. He was born with a hole in his ankle, hence the name, as well as an atrial septal defect, otherwise known as a hole in the heart. It's a strong name for a strong boy (= I also liked it because it's a strong name without being overly masculine, trendy or sounding like a redneck name.
原Achilles was the lover of, among others, Patroclus AND Troius (the latter of whom he killed in a lover's embrace). And if a child is named this, they'll probably be teased by "heel" a lot. I'm not very sure about the usage of this name.

这个名字也用在波兰。我想这听起来不错，但是英文里只是尖叫着自命不凡。
原This name is also used in Poland. I suppose it would sound nice there, but in English it just screams pretentious.

我甚至不知道如何发音这个名字！我真的不认为我会为我的孩子使用它。但它是不同的。
原I don't even know how to pronounce this name! I don't really think I would use it for my child. But it IS different.
原I love the name Achilles, because I love the Iliad. I hate Brad Pitt as Achilles though, we are watching Troy in Classical Studies. It is a grossly inaccurate film, I mean good Lord, Achilles cuts off the head of an Apollo statue. This would never happen! The people of those times were terrified and completely in awe of the gods. Pious, that's the word. Ok, sorry about that, but, yeah, I love the name Achilles! It is such a strong heroic name.

阿喀琉斯将是一个很难命名的人。在希腊神话中，除了脚跟之外他几乎无敌。我觉得太多笑话了。
原Achilles would be a hard name to live up to. In Greek Mythology, he was nearly invincible except for his heel. Too many in-jokes I think.
原From "achos" (pain) and "laos" (the people) - pain of the people. When he was fighting in the Trojan War, he was the pain of the people for the Trojans, and when he was not fighting (like when he was mad at Agamemnon, or before he arrived at Troy), he was the pain of the people for the Greeks. He was also the pain of the people for his mother, who knew he would die young and that upset her. By the way, he was not suckled as a baby when he was with the centaur Chiron.

阿喀琉斯是奥斯卡·斯卡克（Orson Scott Card）的“恩德之影”（Ender's Shadow）中的人物。他是一个精神病患者。根据这本书，他的名字是ah-SHEEL。
原Achilles is a character in Orson Scott Card's book Ender's Shadow. He was kind of a psychopath. His name was pronounced ah-SHEEL, though, according to the book.
原I love Greek mythology names, but I like them better with the Swedish spelling. It sounds much simpler in Swedish. Like Akilles, it looks better then Achilles.
原Makes me think of Brad Pitt from the movie 'Troy'--Strong, masculine, brave, handsome, rugged, beauty, and power. Ahh, yes it's a wonderful name, no? ;~D
原The name αχιλλευς comes from the Greek word αχλύς which is a weather phenomenon mainly seen in Greek rivers, lakes and the sea. It is similar to myst. The word αχλυς (achlys) derives from the morpheme αχ (ach) which is present in words representing names of big Greek rivers. e.g. Αχ-ελώος, Ιν-αχ-ος Αχ-ερων. Achille's chariot raised clouds of dust (resembling achlys) and thus took his name that reflected this property.
原I definitely like this name, because while it is very masculine (Achilles, the great warrior!) it's not macho, like the names of most warriors seem to be. Achilles was hidden away in the guise of girl and his best friend and lover, Patroclus, was a male. No one could ever call him dainty or demure, but he was certainly not a man's man sort of person. I think I would name a girl this, giving her an alliterating, female name for her middle name (or making this her middle name), like, Alice Achilles.

Led Zeppelin的歌曲以“Achilles Last Stand”的名字命名。唱了很大的情绪;专注于Apocolypse甚至死亡。
原A song by Led Zeppelin goes by the name "Achilles Last Stand". It is sang with great emotion; focussing on Apocolypse or even death.
原Translates as "without lips". Appolodorus suggests it may be because he was never suckled as a baby (!?). Could also imply Achilles is the name of an ancient oracular hero (hint: they keep the head in the shrine, over time the skin shrinks away...)
原Like it was already mentioned, Αχιλλεύς (a-kil-LEFS) has to do with άχος (A-chos) - "pain", and the word "λύειν" (LI-in) - "to untie". "The One Untying the Pain" - possibly connected to healing capabilities.
原Makes me think of a Roman gladiator. Most likely because when I think of the name Achilles, I think of someone strong, who is a fighter. Someone advanced in the fighting profession, and the total opposite of a coward.

译 我把我的名字改成了阿基里斯。为什么？因为这是一个非常酷的名字，它使我感觉很好，我有球不在乎，如果无知的人认为我是自负的。为什么我不能为自己命名我爱和激励我的东西？害怕人们会如何反应？我想我宁愿比懦夫“自命不凡”或“不认真对待”。

译 从“痛苦”（痛）和“老挝人”（人） - 人民的痛苦。当他在特洛伊战争中战斗时，他是木马的痛苦，当他没有战斗时（就像他在Agamemnon生气，或者到达Troy之前），他是人民的痛苦为希腊人。他也是他母亲的痛苦，他知道他会年轻，会让她心烦意乱。顺便说一下，当他和半人龙凯龙一起时，他并没有像婴儿一样被吮吸。

译 名字αχιλλευς来自希腊语αχλύς，这是希腊河流，湖泊和海洋中主要出现的天气现象。它类似于神秘。单词αχλυς（achlys）来源于以代表大希腊河流名义的单词存在的语素αx（ach）。例如Αχ-ελώος，Ιν-αχ-οςΑχ-ερων。阿奇里的战车提出了一堆尘土（类似于achlys），因此他的名字反映了这个财产。
nouvellehelene
译 我绝对喜欢这个名字，因为虽然它非常男性化（阿基里斯，伟大的战士！）它不是男子气概，像大多数战士的名字似乎是。阿喀琉斯隐藏在女孩和他最好的朋友和情人Patroclus的幌子，是一个男性。没有人可以称他为精致或虚伪，但他当然不是一个男人的人。我想我会命名一个这样的女孩，给她一个她的中间名（或使她的中间名称），如艾莉斯阿基里斯一个讽刺的女性名字。

译 就像已经提到的那样，Αχιλλεύς（a-kil-LEFS）与άχος（A-chos） - “痛苦”和“λύειν”（LI-in）一词有关 - “解开”。 “痛苦的一个” - 可能与愈合能力有关。
Kae Kae
译 让我想起一个罗马角斗士。很可能是因为当我想到阿基里斯的名字时，我想到一个强者，谁是一个战士。有人在战斗行业中脱颖而出，与懦夫完全相反。
