Too many Greek and Roman names to mention, and so many from plenty of different fables and legends. These are my favorites kinds of names: ones with a massive "history" (true, false, or exaggerated).

Aeneas - although the spelling is cumbersome and confusing
Amalthea
Anahita
Aoide
Aoife
Apollo
Arethusa - admittedly a bit tough, but it is also a beautiful waterfall in the White Mountains, NH
Aruna
Astraea - another tough spelling
Athena
Bahman
Bron/Bronwen
Calliope
Chandra
Danae
Eudora
Hera
Janus
Juno - unfortunately, you have to contend with the movie (good movie, but not necessarily one you want ppl to associate with child's name)
Lorelei - I love this name
Nina - (fertility goddess)
Orion
Phaedra
Phoebe
Raijin
Rhea
Thalia
Theia - pronounce THAY-uh (?)
Is that enough? I guess I got into this one!

I've always been fond of Circe, but I'm hesitant to use it because it reminds people of "circumcision." But that is one of my favorite mythological names.
