There are a lot of great names that have their roots in Greek mythology. Some names of Greek myth are still commonly used like Artemis, Athena, Jason,Iris, etc. But I would definitely want to know the myth surrounding the name before I used one. For instance, Jocasta unwittingly married her son Oedipus. She commits suicide when she learns that he was her son.
