Names like Deirdre, Durga, Shakti, Nike, Nemesis, Eurydice, Frigg, Iphigeneia, Medusa, Cassiopeia, Gemini, are fun to say...

---

I like most mythological names, in an abstract way. I could dig up a lot more, if I spent a while thinking about it.

---

But one I really love and that is in my head right now is Blodeuwedd. The meaning sticks with me. It's so beautiful and yet so awkward seeming. Oh, and Medea is lovely. :)

First of all, I love that you did names from mythologies besides just Greco-Roman! Not that I don't love that too, but there are so many other mythologies that don't get nearly enough attention. I like:

---

Arianrhod
Asherah
Aurora
Austėja (I always love bee deities!)
Athena
Astraia (I prefer the spelling Astraea)
Brigid (my favorite spelling is Brighid)
Ceridwen
Clíona (I prefer Cliodhna)
Diana
Dione (this is one of my recent favorites!)
Eirene
Freya
Gaia
Hekate
Hera
Hestia
Inanna
Indira
Iris
Isis (I will never not be angry that this name has been ruined)
Juno
Kali
Kalliope
Kleio
Kore (another recent favorite!)
Luna
Minerva
Noor
Ourania
Persephone (this has been one of my top favorites for a while)
Polymnia (I like Polyhymnia better)
Rajani
Rama
Rhiannon
Tanith
Tellervo
Theia (another one I just added to my list)
Vesta (I prefer Hestia but I like this too)

I think Flora and Luna are probably my favourites. I also like Juno, Iris, Maia, and Saga.

My Favorites:

---

Athena
Astraia
Delia
Dione
Eirene (but only if pron. ie-REE-nee, not like Irene)
Eris
Hestía
Kalliope
Kleio
Persephone
Rhiannon
Terra
Theia
Valkyrie
Vidya
