Atalanta

The meaning behind the name is great and it sounds magical. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s so close to Atlanta. It would work as a middle though.

Pretty name, has lots of potential nicknames!

Reminds me of the Mediterranean Sea and the gorgeous marble columns of Ancient Greece. The "A" is defined enough for the name not to be mistaken for Atlanta, at least in my opinion. :)

I love how this name sounds, but most people who are not familiar with classical culture (it should be taught more in schools) would probably associate it with 'Atlanta' and (no offense to anyone who lives there!) Atlanta has really no popular historical lore like Savannah or Sidney.

I think it's a beautiful name, but I quite prefer Atalante (att-uh-LAN-tee). I think it's prettier, flows better, and solves the problem many of you have mentioned of being confused with "Atlanta."

I like this name because I am called Atalanta. Kind of upset that others don't like it. In my opinion it's better than a name like Emily or Jane. But that's my opinion.

I actually quite like the story behind this Mythological name. The name itself doesn't flow very well for me, so I would hesitate to use it.

The meaning isn't very good.

Stupid meaning.

I really like this name. Though I'd probably give her the nickname Tallie or Tala to reinforce "ah-TAH-lan-ta".

"Atalanta" doesn't really roll of my tongue very well, though that could be just me. I think many people would think it was "Atlanta" at first glance.

Sounds too close Atlanta for me.

I love this name. It sounds witchy and wonderful. Icy and magical. Anyone with this name has an air of mystery around them.
