Re: Mythological names - pretentious?
I think it depends on the name and it depends on the association. Apollo is pretentious because of the association, and because an "Apollo" is a commonly used as a descriptor for someone who is ridiculously sculpted and attractive. I don't think the other names you listed are pretentious, there might be other reasons not to use them, but not because they are pretentious.
