Re: It's all Greek to me!
in reply to a message by Joiya
Many Greek mythology names are still very much in use in Greece, especially ones like Athena.
A cousin of mine actually recently named her daughter Nefeli (variant transcription of Nephele), and I think it's definitely due for a comeback. Ismene is a bit of an old lady name, but it's pretty. Larisa is a city, but it's pretty as well. I love Eudora and actually know one. I don't like Selene or Rhea much though.
For boys, Thanatos is a no, because it is the same as the Greek word for death. Odysseus, Achilles, and Perseus are still fairly commonly used. Icarus and Leandros are nice and due for a comeback.
