Greek/Roman/Norse god names

[mrscatmad31]

thinking along the lines of Minerva, Odin etc
any one have any ideas?

[Elllimam]

Athena, Hestia, Hera, Ares, Loki, Juno, Victoria, Ceres, Gaea? I like Athena.

[IvoryMadonna]

Diana

[marshmallowpies]

Thora is a name I'd love to bring back - it will always be associated with Thora Hird but when you consider its the female version of Thor, it is pretty cool. I know a Thurston as well.

[FadedRed123]

Elektra, Cassiopeia, Cassandra, Phaedra, Helena, Venus, Circe, Penelope.
When I was training some years ago a new mum told the midwives she was going to call her new son Thor - they said people would think he had a lisp.....

[Stitchintime1]

[RiaOverTheRainbow]

Artemis

[mrscatmad31]

Thanks guys
can't use Thor or Thora as that's almost my surname!
I like Loki but hubby says that's asking for trouble

[Stitchintime1]

Why names from all three cultures? They have very different sounds and feel no?

[mrscatmad31]

They do but they seem to be the sort of names I gravitate to, want something different that means something

[Orangeisthenewbanana]

Penelope
Ariadne
Juno
Helen(a)
Calliope
Callista
Rhea
Selene

Boys are much harder! Loki is becoming more popular and a lot of the other names I can think of would sound quite pretentious or wacky to my ear?

[RumAppleGinger]

DS2's middle name is Atticus which I love and would have happily used as his first name.

[OverAndAbove]

Flora is good. I also love Juno and Hera

[mrscatmad31]

I like Atticus

[mrscatmad31]

Mother in law likes Astrid, it's pretty

[hestialou]

My only issue with gods names is if they don't live up to them, hestia is domestic goddess, but what if dd cant cook?

[anorakgirl]

Was just thinking that Hestialou, Hera was a right cow!

[nailsathome]

We're going with Loki

[Bombinate]

Orion
Icarus
Sirius

[mrscatmad31]

I like Orion :-) Sirius is good but I have a Cirrus (pet!) and think it's too similar
Doesn't bother me if he/she doesn't live up to the name

[florascotia]

Loki was foul - in lots of ways. He wasn't some fun trickster. Suggest anyone thinking of the name reads all the relevant myths.

[nailsathome]

We have read them, still love the name though.

[nailsathome]

We particularly enjoyed the one about him tying a goat to his testicles.

[mrscatmad31]

The history behind Minerva isn't all that pretty but would still use it

[FishCanFly]

I love Thor, Zeus, Hades, Hermes, Gaia, Athena

[kelda]

I know a Thor and Eros, much prefer Thor!

What about Goram, an old english folklore name.
