Greek!

Oenone (ēnō'nē) [key], in Greek mythology, nymph skilled in the art of healing. Paris loved her but later deserted her for Helen. Oenone, in revenge, sent their son, Corythus, to guide the Greeks to Troy. When Paris lay mortally wounded, he asked her to heal him but she refused.

[alexpolismum]

Ooh, what a lovely name! Can I steal it and put it on my shortlist? I live in Greece and I've never heard it used over here and I'd like something unusual if dc3 is a girl (my dd is Ariadne).

[hobbgoblin]

Sure, steal away!

Ariadne is beautiful too!

Lovely name - am a baby name thread lurker usually - this one caught my interest. I am a big fan of greek names and we're considering several for our baby girl (not due for a good few months yet though so have some time!)
