Re: Latin names
in reply to a message by Emma Jenny
There are so many I like but here are a few that I think are particularly nice;
Ocypete - Ok-sip-it-tee - (meaning swift wing apparently) but unfortunately it is the name of a Harpy. I love the sound of it though.
Phaedra - Step mother of Hippolytus
Phoebe - another name for Diana the moon.
Sybilla - prophetess
Thalia - Muse of comedy
Thais - (prn T-ais) an Athenian Courtesan
Terentia - Cicero's wife
Clementia - mildness
Cloelia - a roman hostage girl who swam to freedom over the Tiber.
Augusta - title of the Emperor's wife mother or daughter.
