ELCS today.
Having a baby girl. Need a short easy to spell name but want something unusual and a strong with a mythical or literary link.
Shortlist consists of (after much much discussion):
Hero
Isis
People being very sniffy about both choice but past caring frankly.
Which name do I go with?

I'll throw Aphra into the mix if it's not too late!

Isis is lovely. Hero, although I know it's a girls name, sounds too masculine to my ear.

I agree with the suggestions of Juno. Other literary, strong names: Lyra? Ishtar?

Hope all went well! Enjoy getting to know your little one, whatever you name her. Smile

And Charis.

Math, I wanted Charis for my dd, but it got slated on here. Went off it Sad. I still like it, but it wouldn't really suit her anyway.

I prefer Hero, but Hera is even better.
Good luck today.
