Archimedes + other Ancient Greek names
Today I met a boy about 8 years old named Archimedes "Archie". I thought that was super rad even though Archie is NMS. What do you think? What other Ancient Greek names do you like?
From BtN's list of Ancient Greek names (http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/ancient-greek), I like:
Aesop
Alexander
Androcles
Aristotle
Linus
Socrates
Agatha
Ambrosia
Appolonia
Athena
Dionysia
Eugenia
Olympia
Phoebe
Xenia
With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?

I love Archie, and with Pandora, Evanthe and Ptolemy in my ideal sibset, along with possibly Artemis, and Olympia, I have a huge soft spot for Greek names. I'll admit some are quite long and elaborate, but the variations simplify them a bit too. wouldn't use Archimedes, just because I'm not a big fan of the sound, but I wouldn't mind hearing it on someone else's child. I like that it's different, but not made up/misspelled. Other names I like are:
Athanasia
Athena
Chrysanthe
Eudocia
Eumelia
Phaidra / Phaedra
Pelagia
Theodosia
Xanthe
Zenobia
Elaphia
Lysander
Timaeus
