No new ones to add but really like Thalia and Iris for girls and Leander for a boy. A lot of the other names would make neat middle names but a step to far for myself for boys names.

I know a Demetra and an Iphigenia, which are both from Greek mythology. I also know an Argyro (no idea if it's connected to mythology but it means 'silver' in ancient Greek and I love it).
