Just trying to get some more inspiration as we love names from mythology.

It's for a girl, but you can say what it would be for a boy too, if you'd like.

It can be unusual, we need a first and a middle name, so the unusual ones would probably go on the middle name list.

Doris. It just seems like the most unlikely name for a sea goddess

LancaLass · 03/02/2024 22:25

Athena is a great name.
Would check any of the stories out though before naming a child after Greek myths or any myths for that matter!!
