If you had to give your son(s) and daughter(s) a name from Greek & Roman mythology.....
... then what names would you chose? Just for fun - I thought it might be interesting. :)As for me....For sons, I would consider the names Eos, Demetrius, Erebus, Dionysius, Midas, Perseus, Thanatos, Morpheus and Charon.For girls, I would consider the names Cassiopeia, Eurydice, Hermione, Pallas, Aurora, Flora, Lavinia and Minerva.If I have to make names out of them, complete with middle names - then here are a few examples. ;)
MALE:Eos Dionysius
Demetrius Charon
Midas Erebus
Thanatos Morpheus
Perseus Charon
FEMALE:Pallas Eurydice
Flora Hermione
Aurora Cassiopeia
Lavinia Hermione
Minerva Eurydice
(You'll find it's not that easy to combine those names together, in some cases.)So, what about you guys? :)

Girls: Andromache, Cassandra, Thetis (Achilles' mother), Alcyone, Camilla, Cytherea (another name for Aphrodite), Ariadne
Boys: Aias, Calais (an Argonaut), Hylas (Hercules' squire), Anchises (father of Aeneas)I had trouble with this one. Because I love Greek mythology, I chose most of the names based on the character who bore them. (Andromache, Cassandra, and Camilla are three of the most fascinating women in Greek/Roman mythology.) On the other hand, I love the legend of Hector but certainly don't like his name.

haha, yeah rightYou have to be kidding me. Who in their right mind would name their child these things? Do you WANT them to be teased for their name?
