From Greek mythology, Hippolyta is queen of the Amazons (an island of warrior women) and assisted Heracles (Hercules for Romans) in one of his 12 labors to get her magic belt. Courtesy of his stepmom Hera, Heracles later killed most of the ladies on the island... but not Hippolyta. Very cool name, very cool origin.

I initially thought this name was a little odd when I first came across it years ago but now I love it and think it's so cool! Also love the Queen of the Amazons association!
FYI Hippo means horse and hippopotamus means "water horse" or "river horse".

I think this name is cool. I know it has the word “hippo” in it. It makes me think of Princess Diana’s wise, powerful mother. I couldn’t see this on a real person. I could see this on a fictional character. Like Wonder Woman’s mom!

I can't get over the fact that it starts with "hippo." I could never use this name on a person *or* a character.

This name makes me think of a cross between a hippo and a Greek goddess. Very disturbing pictures. None the less, this name has grown on me.
