Dione.
Lachesis (one of the Fates, vamp heroine of a very obscure medieval romance).

Hestia
Mari
Theia

I love Tethys, sounds terrible at first but has somehow wormed its way in and I love it.

I would never inflict Arianrhod on a child but Arianne is a good one.

There are so many great goddess names, too bad gods are all Thoth, Thor, Vulcan and Woden.
