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.

Vassiliki

@Eleoura "mis" not "mus" at the end. It's said as it's written.

Your names are all lovely. I like Sophia best, but it’s very popular if that makes a difference to your choice?

Greek babes are beautiful. I also love:

Anastasia with the Greek pronunciation, Athena
Marilena (better than Melina!)

Prefer Artemisia to Artemis

Ariadne?
Xanthe?

Love Arianna and Melina from your list. Artemis is quite harsh sounding for me.
Love Athena and Eleni too

My daughter is Artemis. In her 40s now. It’s worked. As a child she was always whisked off to the kitchen in Greek restaurants and fed baklava.

So would you say this was unlikely to work for a Peri-menopausal woman wii hi o would willing change her name for free baklava?

Please choose Artemis OP, it's by far the most beautiful of your choices and free baklava should be enough of a reason for anyone!

I've just finished reading the seven sisters book series. They were named after the pleiades. I liked them all really and they're all Greek too. From your list Sofia is my favourite.

I like Arianna. Can’t see how that would date with a Greek surname!
Also like Ariadne and Anastasia.

You should try it and report directly to me if it works :-P

I will also have to report back on which restaurants I've been to. They might start to get a bit suspicious if lots of MNers names Artemis all kept turning up.

On the Baklava theme, my Greek friend went to a Greek restaurant in another local town recently and was horrors to learn that they didn't have any
