HelpYour favorite UNUSUAL Greek names...
... Not just plain old ones. I mean, as an example, a few of my unusual favorite Greek names would be:
Xenokleia
Nausicaa
Xanthikleia etc
(I guess my definition of "unusual" Greek name are names that would generally be viewed in the real world as extremely pretentious and superfluous, as well as just plain weird LOL) (in other words, I wouldn't really count Acacia or Athena etc. but I would count Lethe and Diokleia)

The only one of the Greek names I love I would consider even semi-unusual is Hermione.

Does Calliope count? When I told someone I liked it, they looked at me like I had a second head growing out of my shoulder.

I'm not sure how to pronounce those names. Would you count Aristeides as unusual? I don't know may Greek names. And I prefer the ones that are easier to pronounce.
