I’ve been a fan of [name]Aurelia[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name] for awhile. I have a friend who just named their little girl [name]Calliope[/name] [name]Wren[/name] and I thought that was adorable.
From [name]Roman[/name] history, I like [name]Julia[/name] and [name]Livia[/name].
[name]Minerva[/name]
[name]Artemis[/name]
[name]Athena[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Isis[/name]
[name]Hermione[/name] (Greek mythology and [name]Shakespeare[/name])
A lot of great suggestions already. I’ll add…
[name]Atalanta[/name]
[name]Antigone[/name]
[name]Andromeda[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Thalia[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]
I like [name]Junia[/name] and [name]Prisca[/name].
Nook of Names has a series of posts of Latin words that can be used as names. She’s only up to E, but some of them are promising.
Not sure if it has been suggested but Aenor is a beautiful ancient name
My daughter’s name is Aurrelia, so of course I am partial to it. [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Athena[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Persephone[/name], [name]Desdemona[/name], [name]Ophelia[/name]… These were all on my name list for my first daughter. The others posts gave some truly wonderful options. I hope we have been some help!
I’ve always loved [name]Ismene[/name].
Greek: [name]Artemis[/name], [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Danae[/name], [name]Echo[/name], [name]Gaea[/name], [name]Thalia[/name], Enyo
[name]Roman[/name]: Bellona, [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Tanaquil[/name],
