Inanna

What do you think of Inanna? I like the sound of it, and I like the mythological aspect...however, I think it could sound made-up to those not familiar with Near Eastern mythology, and it would likely be mispronounced (in-AN-a instead of in-AH-na). And I just realized that it looks like the phrase "in Anna."

Other than that, it's perfect. *grin*

I love it, until one of my friends made a joke about the 'in Anna' thing so that's all I can think of when I hear that name now!

Lol ... I was going to say I liked the name, but having read that, I can see the teasing potential there too ;-)

Apart from the reasons you mentionned it's very beautiful. I would never use it though because it's pagan.
