[Opinions] Re: Atlantis and Names
in reply to a message by ConfusedinAtlantis
The ancient Romans had much more strict naming conventions than the Greeks did. I'd recommend starting with the Wikipedia article to give you some idea of the structure involved: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_naming_conventions
For Greek ideas, maybe try browsing the encyclopedia of names here: http://www.theoi.com/Encyc_A.html. Aex/Aix and Pallas look like they were unisex.
There are also lots of great names there that while perhaps not traditionally used for both sexes, a modern reader would have little trouble accepting as unisex, like Enyo and Macris.

Thanks for the links!
I was looking through the Roman name wiki earlier, actually. I get the form of how Roman names are, but haven't found many I like/can be used is past and present time... Which I didn't state. My bad, sorry! (Thankfully, some name can be shortened, like Theodoros.)
Thanks for the unisex name suggestions!
