Help[Opinions] Leto
I've recently fallen back in love with the sleek, mysterious Leto. Its etymology is debated (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leto#Etymology), but I love the theory that connects it to lethe / Lethe. Although I definitely don't love the association with Jared Leto, the names are pronounced differently -- Jared's last name is "LEH-to," whereas the Greek forename is "LEE-to."
What do you think of these combinations? I've included some that fancifully feature two middle names because I think Leto lends itself to such extravagance. :)
Leto Arabella
Leto Araminta
Leto Isabella
Leto Estella
Leto Amarantha
Leto Frederica
Leto Ginevra
Leto Raffaella
Leto Allegra
Leto Angelica
Leto Primula
Leto Ursula
Leto Fabienne
Leto Ismene
Leto Felicity
Leto Imogen
Leto Sabina

Leto Vanessa
Leto Helena Iris
Leto Franca Violante
Leto Mary Perpetua
Leto Mary Priscilla
Leto Ismeria Jane
Leto Polly Cecilia
Leto Polly Virginia
Leto Frances Melpomene
Leto Eliza Henriette
Leto Pearl Jacobina
Leto Romilly Ingrid
Leto Hesperia Agnes
Leto Agnes Mirabella
Leto Matilda Jacobina
Leto Enriqueta Sabina

I like it! I've met someone named Leda in real life and it seems similar. I'd actually say Leto is more usable than Leda which is a pretty rapey name to give to an actual baby!

I like a nice Greek name that ends in O myself. Leto, Clio, Hero, Io.... there's something about them.
I am loving these:
Leto Angelica
Leto Imogen - these suit each other so nicely
Leto Marceline
Leto Vanessa - I love this on so many levels
And your 3-name combos were all so wonderful, you're right, Leto does lend itself to extravagance
Leto Ismeria Jane - fascinating!
Leto Polly Cecilia - Polly in the middle, I love it!
Leto Frances Melpomene - beautiful
Leto Pearl Jacobina - Leto Pearl Jamesina would also be lovely
Leto Romilly Ingrid - very chic
Leto Hesperia Agnes - so lyrical and unexpected!
Leto Agnes Mirabella - This is fantastic
Leto has a very satisfying kind of Southern gothic charm for me....it's classic and elegant and out-there.

Lethe is pretty, and I like it as a guilty pleasure. I am less fond of Leto. It does have the primordial goddess vibes since Leto was a Titan, which is cool, but she seemed like a rather pathetic character in myth.
Off topic, I find it interesting that Hera, in her anger over Leto's tryst with Zeus, declared that Leto would be unable to give birth on "terra firma" or in the water. As a result, Artemis and Apollo were born on a floating island. But it is amazing to me that Hera had that kind of power. I know Hera was supposed to be the goddess of child birth, but it also seem like she had some type of earth powers to make the land shun Leto.
Leto Seraphina
Leto Mnemosyne
Leto Astraea
Leto Beatrice
Leto Pamina
Leto Ursula - I'm not a fan of Ursula, but the names have a similar vibe.
