Accessible goddess/mythology names!

Girl Names

Hey berries!!

Wanted to get some suggestions for goddess names or names from mythology that are accessible and feel fresh and not stuffy or too fantasy or unusable. I love names that sound strong and have good meaning, if possible!

The names that meet that criteria currently on my list:
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Cynthia[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]

Names that I like but are a bit too out there for me to use in real life (sadly) are [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Pomona[/name_f], and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]. I feel like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] fit the description above, but I for some reason can’t fall in love with them.

Phoebe, Juno, & freya are my favorites on your list. I would drop [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] as it’s some what dated imo

I think [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is totally usuable If [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is. I happen to know 2 of them in real life both under 12.

[name_f]Clio[/name_f] or [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] sprang to mind immediately for me too!

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] from your list feel especially fresh and cool.

[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]/Selene
[name_f]Hebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] :green_heart:
[name_f]Leda[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Ione[/name_f]
[name_f]Embla[/name_f]

Athena and [name_f]Maia[/name_f] sprung to mind

5

Athena
[name_f]Venus[/name_f]
[name_f]Lakshmi[/name_f]
[name_f]Indira[/name_f]
[name_f]Sita[/name_f]
Aparna
[name_f]Parvati[/name_f]
[name_f]Aditi[/name_f]
[name_f]Serene[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]/Arina/Irina
Damona
[name_f]Damara[/name_f]
[name_f]Austra[/name_f] (God not [name_f]Goddess[/name_f] but I think it works)
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Epona[/name_f]
[name_f]Caia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
Kamiko
[name_f]Lada[/name_f]
Lazdona
Lietuva/Liethua
[name_f]Milda[/name_f]
Nephthys
[name_f]Isis[/name_f] - probably can’t use this now b/c of the terrorist group but you could do [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
Onuava
Ragana
[name_f]Rosmerta[/name_f]
[name_f]Selene[/name_f]/Selena/Selina
Veliuona/Wellona
[name_f]Ziva[/name_f]

If [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f] are too out there, you could have them as middle names and/or use [name_u]Andy[/name_u], [name_u]Andrea[/name_u], [name_f]Cassie[/name_f], [name_m]Cas[/name_m], and/or [name_u]Casey[/name_u] as nn. Also [name_u]Percy[/name_u] for [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_f]Mona[/name_f] for [name_f]Pomona[/name_f]
