I normally love Greek Mythology names, but I have to pass on Parthenope (as well as Parthenia), and it's entirely because of "parth."

Arthur is about the only name I can tolerate with the "arth" sound, and I can't say for certain why. But the "parth" names give me the same vibe as Martha, which is a name I have never, ever warmed up to.

Obscure / semi-obscure Greek Mythology names I actually like:

---

Thaïs
Persephone
Hera (only heard of this occurring once in real life)
Olympia (does this count?)
Phoenix
Antigone
Elektra
Nephele
Pandora
Gaia
Eos (this was brought up on the board recently)
Circe
Eurydice (about the only name I like with the Eu- beginning)
Ismene
Nausicaä
Xanthe
Medusa (yes, I said it)
&
Ares
