Favorite Greek names for a girl!

[HopeandJ]

Greek names are beautiful, but it's so hard to find one that can actually work for a person in real life. It's not like I can name a kid Aphrodite or Nereida, even if I really want to :( (If there are actually parents out here that named their kid that, then you're AWESOME and have my full respect)

So anyway, are there any Greek girl names that can actually be used on a girl? I'm thinking of Thalia right now, cuz I think it looks so pretty and sounds elegant as well, but I'm up to suggestions😍

I've always loved the name Eleni. And Helena is lovely too.

Florendia
Valentina
Estelle
Vasula
Maria
Cypriot cousins/aunties names

Artemis
Athene

Our DD is a Phoebe after the Titans and would love another similar themed name, for number 2, drawn to Thea or Rhea but DH not keen on either! 🙄
Great thread OP 👍

I have a friend called Eleni. Lovely name. And not too Greek to sound pretentious outside Greece.

Tula !! Taken from my big fat Greek wedding. They call her Tula munulah which I love 😂 lush meaning too xx

Have you thought about ione? It's pronounced eye-oh-nee and means violet or is the name of a nymph in Greek.
Saw it on one of the baby names and would love to use it myself but it won't work with my surname.
Also Athena is another front runner for me!

I love Callista.
Also, not sure if anyone’s mentioned Hester? Really wanted it for DD but was overruled... 😭

Not read all the posts so not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but Charis is lovely (pron. Kariss in English usually) - not used much, great for all ages, and easy to imagine in real life.

One of my ds has a friend whose gf is called Persis, which I've always thought is a lovely name!

Sophia, Daphne, Theodora, Dorothea, Pheobe

Daphne. I have a student called Daphne, she is so cool and strong and her name is just the best.
