Mythological Names

[kathrynsarah]

I've always really loved Greek and Roman mythology, and I was looking at a list of names recently, and realized that I like quite a few of them.

The two that I absolutely love are Phoebe and Minerva. I also like Artemis, Apollo, and Thea, but I would like to see more! Please give me some suggestions of names that you think are cool/interesting from any mythology, as long as you actually think they are usable on a child.

Greek myth names had always been lovely.

Adrasteia, Aella, Clio, Althea (and Amalthea), Antiope, Aphrodrite, Carme, Athene, Daphne, Evadne (a la Ariadne), Circe, Harmonia, Hera, Calliope, Phaedra, Selene, Rheia (a la Rhea), Niobe, Hestia, Eirene are very beautiful names. Of boy names, I have little knowledge, but I like these: Lykos, Leandros, Eos, Apollo, Adonis, Dionysus

Iris - she was a messenger of the the gods, I believe.

Wow, I almost forgot about this thread. Thanks to everyone who responded.

These are the names I really like: Athena (I already love this one, just completely forgot to add it to my original post), Selene, Mylas (who was this, because I've never heard it before), Rhea, Iris, Cassandra, Daphne, Castor, Phoenix, Nyx, and Circe.

Does anyone have any more? I like all of these, but don't love any of them as much as Phoebe or Minerva. I'd like more boy names, please!

Viviane is Arthurian mythology - or folklore? Im not sure how you would classify it.
