Yep. I'd use Artemis, Antigone, and maybe Athena, Orion, Apollo, Orpheus, or... a few others from Greek mythology. I'd also use a lot of Welsh mythology names like Rhiannon, Branwen, etc.

Well I plan on using Diana, which is the Roman name for Artemis.

I would also be okay with using Selene/ Selena, Paris, Melania, Oiron, Flora, Victoria, Jason, Phoebe, Linus, Penelope, Harmonia, Electra, Damon, Cassandra and Thalia.

I'd definitely consider using a name from mythology. Some I like...

---

Arthur
Isolde
Freya
Phaedra
Phoebe
Owain
Ceridwen
Branwen
Bridget
Aoife
Conor
Emer
Morgan
Nimue
Niamh
Lavinia
Oisin
Oscar
Hector
Alecto
Alexander
Hebe
Helen
Hero
Antigone
Persephone
Ianthe
Ione
Ismene
Idony
Artemis
Maeve
Tristan

I would consider using Guinevere as a middle name because I've always liked it and I've always loved Arthurian legend. There are more uncommon Arthurian names I also like, but I've always felt a connection with that one for some reason.

yep

I heart Mythology names. One of my favourite mythological-inspired combos is the very quirky Arachne Tess.

---

But I also love names that can do double-duty: they are in mythology, but also don't look too "weird" and can mingle with the muggles. Stuff like Doris, Flora, Chloris, Delia, Clio, Camilla, Daphne, Phoebe, Eudora, Hector, Lucina, Penelope, Phyllis, Rhea, Selene, Helen. Admittedly, there are far fewer male names in this category.

Oh yes. Quite a few. Most of them would probably only be in the mn spot.

I'm attracted to Clio, the muse of history.
