Half Greek baby due imminently. Sex unknown. Will likely live in both UK and Greece.

Given that my previous thread has confirmed Thanos is unusable in the UK - please give me your suggestions for both boy and girl names!

Antonio with Donny as a nickname is pretty cute.

Nikiforos can be Nick or Niki

Andrew / Andros

Petros / Peter

Kyriakos can be shorter to Kyri

Cassandra aka Cassie

Andros just means man. It isn’t really used much as a first name. You’d use Andreas for Andrew.

Adding Philip to the list for boys.

for girls adding Christina, Helen and Katrina. Stella is also popular with my Cypriot friends.

Out of all the beautiful (Greek) names in the world you choose to add Philip to the suggestions..

Hi Christos & Athena, please welcome your brother Phil..

Absolutely not 😂

To be difficult I think Nikos or Dimitris 😂 simply because they’re easier pronounced in English. I think the “aos” and “ios” will get bungled. Leonidas is nice and straight-forward though.

With male names you use the “s” on the end when talking about someone, and drop it when talking to someone. So you can choose whether to include it or not when transliterating to English (in my opinion!)

E.g Nikos is very nice. Hello Niko.

Haha thanks! Agree about the pronunciation issues. My son’s name is butchered in English and we thought we’d picked a really easy one, so may as well throw caution to the wind for number two 🤣🤣
