Greek girl's names

[Raggeo]

We are a half British, half Greek family. We live in the UK but any name has to work in both languages/cultures. What do you think of our shortlist of baby girl names? Please rank and happy to hear positive and negative comments.

Artemis
Zoe
Melina
Arianna
Sophia

Middle name and surname will be Greek,if that makes any difference.

Sorry but when I read the list the first thing I thought of is melena.. it's pronounced the same as melina.. and its a medical term for bloody poo (sorry I'm a nurse and in my head I was like why on earth would anyone name their child that)
I like Zoe!

Another vote for Artemis! Beautiful, strong, phonetic, unusual. Lovely name.

I feel Arianna is too connected with Arianna Grande at the moment. Ariadne is lovely, Amaryllis? Phaedra? Helena?

Melissa

Just wondering how Artemis is pronounced?
Is it more like Ar-TEA-miss or AR-tuh-mis? Or neither?

AR-tuh-mis

Maia, Xylia, Ariadne and Athena.

Arianna is lovely.

I know an Oenone (ee-no-nee) and she loves her name
I think it’s really beautiful

Artemis is lovely! We have Greek friends whose daughters are Artemis, Antigone and Atlanta! All gorgeous but Artemis is my favourite.

Also really interesting to see that Artemis is traditionally a girls name

The most pretentious couple I know have a son called Artemis, presumably telegraphing their lack of knowledge to many people

I love Xanthe, Athena/Athina & Eleni .
I like Maria as I know an absolutely lovely Greek girl called Maria
I also like Calista/Kalista too

I love your list. Artemis is a great name.
I also love Athena and Xanthe.

I love Artemis

Marina is also lovely, I strongly considered that for dd

I had a Greek friend at uni called Aristea which I thought was really pretty, not sure how well it works in England though.

Thalia ?

Antigone nn Tiggy?

My mum's name is Eleni. I love it. I also like Iris and if I ever had a girl that's the name I would choose. My aunty's name is maritza.

Marina is a beautiful name.

Confused as to why people thought Artemis was male when it's one of the big female Godesses...

Artemis Fowl

I'm happily surprised that Artemis is getting lots of positives,since it's probably the least known in the UK.
Good to know about the other meaning of Melina, think I will take that one off the list!!
Some other nice suggestions, thanks.

If I had a girl tomorrow I'd call her Paraskevi, beautiful name .

Way too old now, I can dream

I have a Greek friend called Ekaterina. Greek names are all really nice

Melina
Arianna
Sophia
Artemis
Zoe

I Love love love Melina I wanted it for one of our dds but dh wasn't keen

Arianna is beautiful

Sophia one of the few classics I truly love (even like is hard with me on the classics)

Artemis is nice not one Id pick but I like it

I do not like Zoe bad personal associations x 3

I love Zoe.
Eleni is nice.
Somehow I can’t love Artemis. Sophia is nice but very popular. It’s also not obviously Greek due to it’s popularity.

OtherGreek girl names I like are:
Penelope
Antigone
Calliope nn Callie

Because of Artemis Fowl. I'm not really familiar with mythology so only know it through the character name.
