HelpGreek Mythology?
So I have never been huge on Greek on mythological names but I have found myself crushing big time on Damaris and Athena lately. Any other names you all really like from this pool of names? I feel like I have over looked some gems.

If I listed all of the names from Greek mythology that I loved I might break the internet. It is an endless pool of "wow." I didn't know Damaris was from mytholgy. That just adds another layer of love on top of it for me. :-)
As a child I loved Leda, Hermione and Iphigenia (still do). My dh and I once had a discussion about using Antigone as a name for a dd. Others I go gaga for:
Artemis (and Artemisia), Parthenope, Gaia, Circe, Niobe ("NIE-uh-bee"), Jocasta (I don't care about the story, it's still a great name), Clio, Sibyl, Cybele ("SIB-uh-lee"), Ariadne, Demeter (and Demetria), Europa, Io, Persephone, Olympia (cheating a bit), Astraia (see Astraea), Daphne, Phaedra (does Greek tragedy count too?), Orphea, Callisto, Calliope, Helen, Hesper, Maia, Parthenia, Nyx, Thisbe, Eurydice, Hestia, Terpsichore ("terp-SIC-uh-ree"), Thalia, Urania / Ourania, Polyhymnia, Cassandra, Penelope, Amalthea (nn Molly?), Dido, Galatea, Hermia, Leto;

She's a Biblical Greek, so she's actually not. I've just come to find it a "simply" fabulous Greek name. I really love a lot from your list, thank you! I wish I could come to love Artemis too though, in time.
