Greek baby names!

Greek/British baby 3 due imminently. Don’t know the sex. Please help with Greek name suggestions that work in the UK!

Older bro and sis have “proper” Greek names rather than English translations, eg. Alexandros rather than Alexander, so probably need to stick to this theme!

Boys names suggestions in particular are welcome - I am finding it easier to find girls names that we like.

Ideas so far:

Girl - Ismene, Nephele, Eleni, Eirini

Boy - Vasilios, Dimitrios, Petros, Kosmas

It is, isn’t it?! I don’t think correcting the pronunciation would be too much of an issue?

I work with an Eleni, and many say her name as Elainey.

Effie (Eleftheria)

Kostos

I love the name Eleni. ❤️ if I ever had another girl it's what I would choose.

I used to flatshare with two lovely greek girls - Angeliki and Areti - I thought both of their names were really pretty.

Iris
I also love Io and Iro but not sure if tricky for pronunciation here

I really love Antonio nn Donny! Made the mistake of mentioning it to my (English) mum though. She hates it. Trying to work out if I just pretend that never happened. 😂

I'm loving this thread. I'm not Greek (sorry!) but enjoyed thinking of names- there are so many that are absolutely beautiful. It has cheered my day. Thank you, @Pinohoratio and best of luck choosing a glorious name for your darling LO-to-be.@
