Would love suggestions of Greek boys names that don't sound too out there if we're not Greek - we love many Greek names but feel they all sound a bit odd with the cultural connection...

So, when someone realises it's a Greek name and you're not Greek.....

Why a Greek name if you have no cultural connection?

I was always in love with the name Ptolemy but my DH was having none of it!

How about Pyrros
Dimos
Konstantinos?
