A Name For Our Last Girl!

[IssabelleMarguerite]

Hello! We are officially adopting newborn boy-girl twins this April! We already have baby boy's name picked out, but we are caught between 2 for our little girl. We love Greek mythology-inspired baby names and classier names with loads of nicknames. (I'm a professor of classics) We would be so grateful for any help you can give us! Here are our current kids:

• Theodore Evander (Theo, Teddy)
• Artemis Rose (Missy, Rose)
• Christopher Lucas (Kit)
• Clara Athena (CC, Lara)
• Julia Persephone (Jules, Seph)

For the twins we are thinking:

• Tristian Apollo (Tris)

and...

• Hestia Wren (Tia)
• Stella Calliope (Ella, Callie)

I’ll be brutally honest OP - Hestia sounds like some sort of STD.

Phoebe Wren sounds nice.

And I know it's Latin not Greek but how about Minerva?

Right…

He-stia
Tri-stia-n
Too samey.
Ella is greek but means come so if you say Ella to someone, it means come here.

Antigoni-Tiggy
Cassandra- Cass, Cassie, Sandy

Stella. Comes in pint sizes

You have 5 kids already and SS are letting you adopt 2? Which so happen to be B-G newborn twins? How very unusual.

Stella Chloe
Callidora Hebe
Phoebe Wren - my fave

Apollo Tristan
Aristos George
Pavlos Apollo

I love Tristan (Tris) - would Tristian be misheard at Tristan a lot?

Hestia is a lovely, unusual name - I love Tia. Although Tris and Tia are quite matchy, I do like them together.

Stella is great too and I love Sephy as a nn.

Other ideas

Althea (Thea)
Carissa (Cassie / Carrie)
Cassandra (Cassie / Sandy)

Are you in the UK?

Are you actually writing a book and trying to name your characters?

Why would two of your kids have nicknames for their middle names?

😒😒

You're very imaginative, OP.

Pull the other one, op. It’s all Greek to me.

Sure.

Here are some lovely Greek mythology names

Iolanthe

Pandora

Ariadne

Cassandra

Larissa

Persephone

You have 5 kids and you are adopting 2 more?

Why would you have nicknames for middle names? Filling out a sixth form application with my DD robot and she said, "How do you spell my middle name again?" It is a Welsh name but still not difficult! Just at rarely used!

My DD is not a robot. That should say "with my DD tonight"

Tristian (or Tristan) is a brave swerve into Celtic folk tales, away from Greek classicism. Have you considered Theseus or Leander?

Theseus and Hero
Leander and Thebe

Dolos and Apate if you're looking for something less well known.

These are cats?

😂

Are you for real OP

Those names are awful

😆

Gosh! A Professor of Classics asking Mumsnet for suggestions re Greek mythology!
