HelpAthena & Cormac
My boyfriend and I have pretty much never been on the same wavelength when it comes to names, partly I think because he is not on any wavelength at all, but we've at least been able to agree on Athena for a while now. Last night, my boyfriend mentioned to me that he's decided that he likes the name Cormac, a conclusion I'm fairly certain he came to while staring at a copy of The Road on his bookshelf. Anyway, I happen to think that Cormac is an awesome name, so I am pretty stoked about this new development! WDYT of Athena and Cormac as a sibset (forgetting, if you can, how mis-matchy they are origin-wise)? What names would you add to the sibset? (I think Fiona, Moira / Maura, and Callum may also be possibilities; also apparently boys names ending in 'n' are 'wimpy' and therefore do not merit consideration)
TIA!

But, don't all masculine names end in an "n?"
My top four boy names are set in stone, and Cormac is one of them. I absolutely adore it, especially with the nn Mac. While I would never have thought of Cormac and Athena as a sibling set, and Athena not being a particular favorite of mine, I can actually see them together. They make me think of turn of the twentieth century Ireland when Irish names (as opposed to Anglo ones) were making a comeback at the same time that people were fascinated with mythology. Cormac and Athena's parents sound very educated and artsy. :-D
Cormac, Athena, Mabel and Horatio (Ray)
Cormac, Athena, Moira and Daniel
Cormac, Athena, Molly and Benedict
Cormac, Athena, Margaret (Peg or Daisy) and Thaddeus
Cormac, Athena, Maura and Tadhg / Tighe
Cormac, Athena, Mairead and Piers

I cannot get past the meaning of Cormac.
I just can't.
Fiona is over-played for me and I've never liked it. Moira & Maura are two completely different names to me. I prefer Moira. Callum is great. It's too bad names ending in n are out - Ronan & Stellan are fab.
What do you think of:
Maeve
Mairi
Columba
Paloma
Theda
Juno
Isra
Isa
Castor
Pollux
Piers
Ishmael
Malcolm
Niall
Neil
Solomon - because I gotta know if he sees that as 'wimpy' too.
Saul
Raphael
Abram
August
Alexei

it supposedly also might mean 'son of the crow' crow is corby, what I've read they're not positive on the meaning.
