So interesting! I knew some of these but I learnt a lot of new ones. I’ll be looking at other parts of this website as well !
I really like
Actaea - Never heard of this before but it’s so cool! Acte (ak-tea) means ‘‘shore’’ in Greek so I love the sea-related meaning as well
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] - Never knew this was a space name, but that just makes me like it more!
[name_f]Amalthea[/name_f]
Pasiphae - I’ve always liked her in mythology but this makes the name so much cooler!
Ananke !
Themisto
Callirhoe
Euanthe - Probably pronounced like [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]. I had a classmate with the name so it seems very usable to me
Mneme - This is really cool in Greek, it means memory and has a very cool modern word name feel
[name_m]Daphnis[/name_m]
Pallene
[name_f]Anthe[/name_f]
[name_u]Oberon[/name_u] !!!
Umbriel
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] - One of my top 3 girls’ names, so excited that it’s a moon !
Nereid
[name_f]Thalassa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eris[/name_f] - Prettier than [name_f]Iris[/name_f] imo!

I love a lot of these - many of the moons were named after Greek/Shakespearean characters so they’re so literary and dramatic.
