Apparently so, because it’s on this website about baby names. But looking at its popularity in the United States, it isn’t and never was. The only time it even appears on the graph was in the late 1800’s, and then only briefly.
The feminized form of the name, Narcissa, is a character in the Harry Potter books, and she suited her name well.
It’s actually a nice name, if it didn’t have unpleasant connotations with a devastating personality disorder. It also has a pretty flower named after it. I’d still choose it over “Dick,” the ugliest and most awful name you could give a boy in my opinion.
So who would name their baby boy “Narcissus”? There’s only two kinds of people I could think of: Hollywood celebrities and narcissists, especially Hollywood celebrities who are narcissists.

🙂 No, I wouldn’t name my child Narcissus. The myth about Narcissus always got to my nerves!

Myself personally NO. I think to put this on a child is cruel.

I think so too because everyone associates it now with NPD.

I read on that same website that it’s actually used in Catholic European countries (but still not commonly)–but the babies named that are named after a Saint Narcissus (who I never heard of), not after the boy in the Greek myth.
