"A name which Mike C does not include in the database (despite my repeated insinuations, grrrrr!!!)"
That's what you get for not s***ing a**. ;)
I do like your daughter's name -- it has a lyrical lilt to it. I'm curious -- is the accent on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd syllable?

The accent is on the 2nd syllable. It is pronounced "Ne-fE-li" ("Ne" as in "NEbulous" "fe" as in "FErry" and "li" as in "LIberty). An increasing number of Greeks are chosing ancient names, much to the chagrin of the Orthodox Church which insists that only names associated with Christian Saints be used. Believe it or not, Greek names such as Nephele, Phoebe, Cassandra, etc are only now making their modern-age debut in Greece! Interestingy enough some ancient names such as Aristotle, Hercules, Plato and Socrates are more common, as their exist Christian saints with such names.

St. Hermaphroditus, Be My Guide!

Though never sanctified by any known church, Hermaphroditus -- offspring of Hermes and
Aphrodite -- is considered by his/her followers to encompass the best of both worlds.

I was unable however to locate any surviving statues of my personal favourite, Euthanasia.

Cheeky fellow, that Hermaphroditus. :)
I would've loved to have seen a picture of your Goddess Euthanasia, too. But I did, however, find an entertaining article about the Church of Euthanasia, that appeared in the Satanic publication: *Not Like Most*. Satanist and publisher Matt G. Paradise is interviewing Boboroshi the SOD, the designated "Satanic Outreach Director" for the Church of Euthanasia:

I, of course, prefer the old pagan names over the saints' names. :) Hey Che? Is there something wrong with your e-mail? I tried twice sending you a message, and it bounced back both times.
