[Opinions] Re: mythological type names...
Well, Atalanta was really awesome and just about as superhero as a Greek goddess could get (aka, super awesome until eventually some guy outsmarted her). I would say Artemis, but she's just the Greek form of Diana, so that wouldn't work out too well. Oh! Oh oh oh! Wait! How could I have forgotten Athena?! Athene (with the e at the end, not the a) is one of my favorite names, though the a works as well. And Athena was obviously quite strong and heroic, what with being the somewhat war-ready goddess of wisdom. Heck, they could even use her full name, if they wanted: Pallas Athena. Pallas, Athena or Athene are all up for grabs there, as is Minerva, her Roman name. And then, of course, there is Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, but I'm not so sure they want to attach their daughter to a sporting brand. There is always the Roman equivalent, Victoria, but do they want something so discreetly god-like? Actually, Victoria may work. It goes well stylistically and thematically with Diana. I don't think anything I mentioned had a Z sound. Oh well. I hope I was helpful nonetheless!
