lavenderwitch's list "Dusty Ancient Gems" of 20 great name ideas: Nemea - Nymphadora!

Dusty Ancient Gems

A list of truly unique ancient treasures - names that are a little clunky, probably over the top, and definitely off the beaten path. No name is too weird for this particular list! (Just femme names, at least for now.)

The name of a famous valley in ancient Greece, with ties to the historic Nemean Games. 

Nemea

Nepenthe

The goddess and personification of victory in Greek mythology – sister to strength, force, and zeal – could make a powerful namesake for a daughter. The goddess would fly a chariot across battlefields rewarding the victors with laurel garlands. Though Nike would make a more unique alternative to her much more popular Roman counterpart, Victoria, be warned that many people’s first association will be the sportswear brand.
