I have grown a certain obsession for Greek mythology over the years. I have fun learning about the mythos and seeing the many incarnations of these stories. But probably the most fun I have with the subject is the names. There are SO many cool names that hardly get used but have so much potential.
First, let's talk boys:
Alexander - Love it. Used it.
Apollo
Ares
Atlas
Damon
Evander - Evan works, so why not Evander.
Hector
Hermes
Hero - This is cool for the obvious reasons.
Jason
Leander - There is something about this name that has such a great vibe. Perhaps its likeness to Xander?
Leto
Linus - Great name that has been jilted by Peanuts.
Morpheus
Odysseus
Orion - One of the coolest constellation names.
Orpheus
Paris
Perseus - I love this one because of Percy Jackson. Can't lie.
Perseus - I love this one because of Percy Jackson. Can't lie.
Prometheus
Zeus
There are some neat namesakes in this group and some names that would make wonderfully surprising middle name choices. If you're brave enough, you might even be inspired to use one as a first name. If I were brave enough to us one of the less common choices, I think I'd tell you I have my eye on Leander (although his story is quite tragic).
