I wonder if she's of Greek descent. I have yet to hear Atalanta on someone of Greek heritage. I'm just wondering because I've heard of actual Greek women with names like Erato, Ismene, Andromache, and Xanthippe. Although a lot of them are spelled according to modern Greek rules, so I've seen such very old names transcribed as Ismini and Andromachi, for example.

Also asking because I've also heard of a few Greek women with Mimi as a nickname (maybe for Maria or Demetria or something).
