If you had to pick a name from Greek mythology

[RosieLemonade]

Which would you choose?

Ismene

Clio, Iris, Phoebe

Apollo

Hector for a boy, Penelope for a girl.

I always liked the name "Athena"with the nickname/ shortened version to "Pallas".

I loved the name Circe and was dead set on it if I had a girl.

Then a friend (now ex friend) started sex work and used it as her work name. Put me off as you can imagine.

Hera

Athene
Paris

Clytemnestra. Not the best connotations, though!

Persephone for sure!

I have met an Undine/Ondine (meaning little wave or spirit of the waters, as in inundated).

Cyamites.
Not really. But he was the god of BEANS 🤣🤣🤣

I am a fan of Merope but I prefer the spelling Meropi (that’s the spelling I see most when the person using it is actually Greek rather than naming from mythology).

Thea, Helena, Eleni are beautiful Greek names. Not sure about actual goddess names apart from Iris which is lovely.

I always thought Phaedra was Irish for some reason!

Iris
Phoebe
Selena/Selene
Cora
Ione
Athena
Gaia
Larissa
Lara

Or, of course, go all out and use Doris! Some of the Greek place names / nymph names are a little dates now, sadly. Ida, Doris, etc. They'll probably come back!

Again based purely on the name, not the character; I love Loki.

Iris
Phoebe
Penelope (is that a greek goddess? Don't know my mythology all that well)
Clio
Hector
Daphne

Boys are harder than girls I think!

If I had to pick favourites of those, I'd go with Helena and Hector. I would shorten Helena to Nell I think.

I like the name Cynthia.

@ParisJeTAime Penelope was the name of Odysseyus wife.

Ah thank you rosie

My daughter's middle name is Elektra (yes, I know of the connotations, I have a classics degree, I just like the name...)

Niobe (unfortunate story though!)

Hero

Feeling quite pleased, I have one dd's middle name mentioned on here and one dd's first name!

Calliope
Cora
Thea

Hestia, if I could get away with it

Artemis
