i would be more likely to use Pallas than any, i actually like that name.

I like a few names from mythology such as Freya, Iris, Echo etc but I find those you listed a bit ott ... like Zeus

The only one I'd use myself is Pallas for a girl. The others are cool but don't work on real people (especially Mercury and Isis).

I wouldn't use Mercury, just because it's a metal and that's the first thing I think of. I'm not too fond of the others, but out of them I prefer Isis.

The only one I like is Pele, but to me that should be a guy's name - like the soccer player

Mercury - I have a hard time seeing this as a name on an actual person. I think of a planet, a heavy metal and a car.

---

Isis - like it
Pallas - I like it a lot
Pele - nms. It makes me think of the soccer player
Sappho - I don't care for the sound of the name but I also think there's a potential for teasing.

I'm too lazy to think of a clever signature.

I love Mercury and Isis

I really love some "planet" mythology names on boys
Like:
Aries
Jupiter
Mars

I have a friend (female) named Mercury. I dislike the name intensely for both boys and girls, although I'd prefer it on a boy if needs be.

Isis is okay, although it does have very strong connections with the goddess...
Pallas just sounds like "palace", and I don't like it (although it looks quite nice).
I actually like Pele quite a bit (for a boy only), as I know two people with this name (although one is pronounced PEE-lee, and comes from a Danish name, not the Hawaiian one).
Sappho is quite nice (both the name and the person). It sounds good, and it's actually a great namesake imo...her poetry is gorgeous. However, it is connected so strongly with lesbianism (lesbians used to be called Sapphists) that I don't think it would work in RL unless one lived in an exceedingly openminded community (such as the one where I live) where people wouldn't have negative stereotypes of lesbianism, and would understand that the name honored a poet, not a sexual identity.
