Greek names

[Gringlish]

Both boys and girls! seeing if there’s any I’ve missed… the rules are:

1. must be a “real” Greek name. No Ancient Greek/pagan/mythological bollocks.
2. something that works in England. More along the lines of Alexandros/Elena than Athanasios/Eleftheria.
3. cannot end in “oh” sound (no Theo/cleo) due to surname.

that’s all!
