If you had to pick a name from Greek mythology

[RosieLemonade]

Which would you choose?

@OppsUpsSide

Echo

When we were pretentious teenagers we had a cat called Echo. Everyone said 'what, like the margarine?'

Dido

Ismene

Tyche, Circe, Hecate

Thanatos

Olympia
Apollo

Thebe.

Tyche.. hold on, not sure how this pronounced?
I’m reading it as either Tai chi, titchy or tykey?

Ooh... or Theia.

My daughter is Electra. I have always loved the name (and yes I know the myth but only 1 person in real life has ever commented out loud about it!).

Artemis

@RosieLemonade my first 2 choices are the same as you: Hector and Circe
I know an Artemis and love her name.
Hestia was on my list for dd2 but we ended up going with a Roman name already mentioned on here.
Dd1 has a Greek name. Not sure it's mentioned as it's not myth related though.

I’ve gone down the mythological names rabbit hole now- there’s so many great ones I didn’t know about before!
Nyx as others have mentioned and also Pheme, Themis

Phaedra
Persephone
Hera
Hecate
Iphigenia

Theseus

Ariadne

Medusa

Lavinia, Helena

Amalthea

Female - Athena, Iris, Selena

Male - Atlas

Daphne

It’s my girls name of choice if DC2 is another girl. I’ve always loved it since I read it in an Enid Blyton book as a child l. DD’s name starts with a ‘D’ as well.

Thisbe.
Nearly used this for DC1.

These threads always make me laugh when I see comments like .these names are uncommon or dated...none of the names mentioned here are dated or uncommon if you live in greece or Cyprus :) (except for thanatos-whicb literally means death, otherwise knock yourselves out!)

Loads of lovely names, loads of tragic connotations!

Ursula
Electra
Andromeda

Eleni and Leonidas

I did pick a name from Greek mythology dd1 is called Phoebe.
We considered Pandia for dd2 as we liked the brightness link but felt 2 p names was too much.

I also love Athena Persephone and Gaea

Suggested Zeus for ds but dh was on a firm no. I also like Hermes

@smaragda I agree, that's why I wasn't worried using one as I knew it wasn't uncommon just less common where I live. So many beautiful names and also strange that people in other countries put so much emphasis on the myth and that they could never use a beautiful name because of it!

Athena
