Ancient Greek/Mythology Names

[Suprima]

I love Hermione but I really don’t want to use it due to the Harry Potter connotation. I am of the superfan HP peak generation and don’t want be asked ‘ohhh like Granger?’ …however a lovely namesake it is. I also was immediately put off when JK said she decided on Hermione because she believed her parents would want to show off how clever they are with the Greek/Shakespeare name.

Anything similarly melodic and of the same vibe that you could recommend? Can’t use Persephone or Penelope.

Not from Greek mythology but Heloise? Similar vibe to Hermione

Rodanthe

Thanks for the response. I don’t like the Eloise/El sound and the h would get dropped where I live. I’m a primary school teacher and I regularly trip over 20 ella/elsies/ellies on the way into my classroom.

Calypso (just kidding!)

What about Ariadne?

Isolde? Smashing Arthurian legend, if you like that sort of thing.

Hestia was on our list had DS2 been a girl.

What about Cora?

Athena?

Calliope? (I know of a baby one)
