Greek mythology names

To go with Iris

Of those two I prefer Phoebe with Iris - actually think Athena is a stronger name but but I just don’t think it goes.

I also love Clio (much prefer this spelling to Cleo - shame about the car!) and Gaia, which we seriously considered for DD. Don’t think it pairs well with Iris either though unfortunately!

I prefer Phoebe with Iris too but I do love Athene or Athena.

My other favourites are Maia, Clio and Penelope, Thalia too.
Also like Helena and Hermione as Greek names

Daphne too.

Medusa is best

Thank you so much all and especially for all other suggestions. We are def down to just Athena or Phoebe now, so just keen on which fits best with Iris striking a similar vibe of “heard of but not totally mainstream”. Phoebe seems less distinct and more popular than Iris and Athena more distinct and less popular but perhaps a bit too out there to match well with Iris. I am Greek but my partner is not so want a name that works well for both. Consensus seems to be Iris and Phoebe better than Iris and Athena (nickname would be Athie).

I like Phoebe more of your two and it’s lovely with Iris.

Left field option - Phaedra (Ariadne's sister)? Easy to pronounce and uncommon!

We have a Phoebe in our family and she is very interested in the Greek origin of her name.

I like the Greek way of saying Athena & the English way of Phoebe. So it depends I think on how you’d say it. We went for the English pronunciation of our chosen names but some of the family use the Greek version.
