More and more and more I am loving mythology names for girls, especially Greek and Roman. WDYT of them in general? Usable in this day and age?

Which are your favorites?

Of course, those from non Greek or Roman are nice, too, but it seems that I'm personally drawn to those two, especially Greek. Boy names don't stand out to me, but I welcome those, too.

Some of my favorites are:
Athena
Pandora
Persephone
Helen
Penelope
Lavinia
Ligeia
Isis
Rhea
Silvia
Artemis
Kalliope
Kallisto
Camilla
Daphne
Cybele
Ourania / Urania
Erato
Hecate
Hera
Ianthe
Iphigenia
Ismene
Isolde

---

For the boys, I like
Ulysses
Odysseus
Orpheus
Orion
Priam

---

Not usable because of the Furies, but I think Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone are very pretty.

---

Any you like? Are they usable? (I attribute my love of the names to my study of literature/mythology in general, so I think it could work.)

What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.
