HelpZeus, Jupiter, Odin, or Horus
If you had to use Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, or Horus in a combo, which would you pick and why?
Same question for Hera, Juno, Freya, and Hathor - which one and why?
And what would the combos be?

Not sure about combos. However, Odin for sure on the first one.
Zeus is far too associated with the Greek mythological character, Jupiter is a planet and Horus is LAUGHABLY bad. Odin, although having it's own mythology as well, sounds the most practical one. It's the one that wouldn't raise as many eyebrows.
Q2: Freya, with a VERY close second to Hera. Find both of them gorgeous. Juno is ok, but I also find it a bit silly and juvenile. Hathor just screams surname to me.

Oscar Odin and Dana Freya
Although I'm an Empire gal, and named after one of their goddesses, tbh I am a little suspicious of their pantheon. Zeus, Jupiter, Hera, Juno don't strike me as characters I'd care to invoke directly in my kid's name.
I'm not generally into names of foreign gods... to me, ones that aren't frequently used for people seem a little goofy, almost in the same category as Kal-El, Anakin, and Jagger.
Hathor and Horus sound stern, and would feel forced to me as names for people. I feel like they'd have that "don't really know all about what it signifies" vibe that many culturally borrowed names do for me. Odin and Freya do, too, but they seem pretty enough, in what I think of as the conventions around me, that they'd be usable for me.

I’d use Jupiter, I love the astrological connotations and the nickname Ju (very similar to Jude and Julian which I love).
For girls it’s harder. Juno, Freya, and Hera are all gorgeous and on my PNL…I’d probably go with Juno though.
