The Petra post below inspired me to do this. Petra has been in my top 10 for ages now, and I think it is totally, 100% usable. Here are some more that for the most part I also see usable.

GIRLS:
Aella (best name meaning EVER: "whirlwind")
Althea
Andromeda
Athene (long-time favorite)
Chrysanthe (prefer Chrysanthemum)
Filippa
Hermione
Ioanna
Ianthe (adore this)
Ilithyia
Lysistrata (it's out there, but I think it's ok as a mn)
Nephele
Nikoleta (nn Nik? Oh man so cool!)
Pandora
Parthenia
Penelope
Persephone (loved this for years)
Petra
Phaedra
Sibyl / Sibylla
Timothea
Thais
Vasiliki
Xanthe (always wished this was my middle name)
Xenia
Xenovia
Zoe (a bit too popular, though)

BOYS:
Aeson
Alexis (huge favorite)
Apollo
Ares
Constantine (duh.)
Deimos (means "terror", but it's such an awesome name)
Demetrios
Filippos
Gavril (I used to think it sounds like a sword from Warcraft, but now I like it)
Iason
Ioannes
Jason
Matthias
Nikodemos (I hate Nicholas, but this is super appealing)
Pallas
Pavlos
Pyrrhus (too cool)
Thales
Tycho

Edited to add Andromeda, as LuzDeTuVida mentioned that I clearly missed. =P
