Greek baby girl names!

We're expecting a baby girl any time now and we still can't decide on a name! We currently like the names Sophia and Lucia.
We know Sophia is extremely popular and worry that Lucia will be pronounced in many different ways which could be annoying.

We would also appreciate middle name suggestions for both :)

We were looking at Callista. My husband preferred Callisto. I liked Callie. But we've opted for French instead.

I have a family member called Alatéa. It's Greek for Truth. Can be spelled a variety of ways and is pronounced Alla-Tay-Ah

Love Greek names too, OP!
