Are there any names from Greek mythology that you’d like to use on a kid? [name_u]Or[/name_u] are there some with too negative of a connotation to be used? Tell me them all!
I love [name_m]Adonis[/name_m], [name_m]Perseus[/name_m], [name_u]Paris[/name_u], and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]!

I love a lot of Greek Mythology names, but there are also a lot that I would not use because of negative connotations from the myths.
Names I wouldn’t use because either the story is too dark or they aren’t good role models/namesakes in my opinion:
Atalanta
[name_f]Callisto[/name_f]/Kallisto
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
And I know this is a girls name thread but I would never use the names [name_m]Zeus[/name_m]/Jupiter, or probably [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]. When almost all of their myths involve them raping someone that’s when I draw the line
Atalanta, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Circe[/name_f] and [name_u]Hero[/name_u] are my favourite
Artemis
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Hera[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhea[/name_f]
[name_f]Selene[/name_f]
My favorites are [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f]!

This is obviously erasing the associations with most of these names.
