hardly original. Cleopatra was her own name, while Helios was god of the sun and Selene the goddess of the moon. Those poor children didn't end up too well either.
Bear in mind that there were a lot Cleopatras in the Ptolemaic Dynasty, just like there were a gazillion Ptolemies. To quote a far funnier man than I, "Originality was not the family's strong suit." ;)
