If you had to pick a name from Greek mythology

[RosieLemonade]

Which would you choose?

Persephone and Pandora.

@Unicant

oh and we have Eurydice on our list. I love that story so much... but we chickened out of using it in the end

I dont know how to say that one out loud.

Electra
Jocasta

Ariadne
Artemis
Demeter

Phaedra
Alexander

Definitely Athena, it’s on the shortlist for our middle name!

Athene or Athena
Is Juno Greek or Roman??
Diana
Pandora
Artemis
Phoebe
Persephone
Hera

Cassandra, Ariadne, Io, Hebe, maybe Atalanta

Not so sold on male names tbh

Oh, forgot Gaia - which is odd as DD was very nearly called this!

Juno is the Roman equivalent of Hera. Diana is the Roman equivalent of Artemis.

Daphne

Kore/Cora definitely.

I also really like Hebe.

I always liked Iphigenia as a name.

Echo

Phaedra, Helen, Iolanthe.

Hebe, not Helen!

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

Juno is the Roman equivalent of Hera. Diana is the Roman equivalent of Artemis.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. At least I like names with similar meanings

Oh yes. Echo and Lo. I would never use any in real life. I have finished my sixth book about ancient greek mythology in as many months so I have been thinking about the names a lot.

I really wanted to call DD Clio, but I wasn't brave enough to put up with all the car comments (and didn't want her to have to either).

Athene

Thea, Electra, Juno.

Hector for a boy.

Athena or Athenea but only if pronounced properly (with a Greek accent or other Southern Europe country at most). So only long, open E's.

Andromache

Deianira sounds so pretty but the story, not so much.

Clio (I have a history degree. I have also owned a Clio car.)
Hebe, Daphne, Iris.

I did like Ariadne until I did Latin A-level and a lengthy set text Catullus poem, and very particularly an exam essay comparing Ariadne on Naxos and Dido at Carthage, but I realise most people won't have those associations...

And I liked Persephone when I was about 8, but then I thought it was pronounced Percy-phone and I'd be aware how confusing it might be at school.
