Yep. I'd use Artemis, Antigone, and maybe Athena, Orion, Apollo, Orpheus, or... a few others from Greek mythology. I'd also use a lot of Welsh mythology names like Rhiannon, Branwen, etc.

Well I plan on using Diana, which is the Roman name for Artemis.I would also be okay with using Selene/ Selena, Paris, Melania, Oiron, Flora, Victoria, Jason, Phoebe, Linus, Penelope, Harmonia, Electra, Damon, Cassandra and Thalia.

I would consider using Guinevere as a middle name because I've always liked it and I've always loved Arthurian legend. There are more uncommon Arthurian names I also like, but I've always felt a connection with that one for some reason.

yepI heart Mythology names. One of my favourite mythological-inspired combos is the very quirky Arachne Tess. But I also love names that can do double-duty: they are in mythology, but also don't look too "weird" and can mingle with the muggles. Stuff like Doris, Flora, Chloris, Delia, Clio, Camilla, Daphne, Phoebe, Eudora, Hector, Lucina, Penelope, Phyllis, Rhea, Selene, Helen. Admittedly, there are far fewer male names in this category.

I'm attracted to Clio, the muse of history.
Daphne is usable.
Delphi is very cute.
Elissa, the alternative name of Dido, appeals to me. I prefer it with a long E, but I suppose most people would rhyme it with Melissa.

ClioSomehow the girls' names seem more "usable" than the boys'.
