HelpRe: Oedipus
in reply to a message by Bex
Much too Greek myth, and the connotations there are awful, not just "not great". The sound and look are nice, I'll grant it that.
I'd say siblings would be other mythology names (NOT Ismene, though, because in addition to being his daughter she was his half-sister... argh, it's so complicated, the whole myth.) My favorite Greek mythology names are, for girls, Andromache, Andromeda, Alcyone, Electra, Circe, Eurydice, Ourania and Merope (and I like Ismene, but it wouldn't work), and for boys, Hector, Cepheus, Daedalus and Icarus. Considerably less boy names, but I don't generally like many names ending in -us.
