Friend just welcomed baby Apollo!

What do you think of [name]Apollo[/name]? What god names would you consider using?

My favorites are [name]Atlas[/name], [name]Athena[/name], [name]Rhea[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Orion[/name], [name]Rhodes[/name]

I absolutely love [name]Apollo[/name]! It’s my top choice for a baby boy right now.
But…I’m having a hard time getting my hubby to agree ):

I have these down: [name]Thor[/name], [name]Mercury[/name], Loki [name]Atlas[/name] [middle name], [name]Orion[/name] [girl]

I love [name]Apollo[/name]! The only ones of your that are actually a god/goddess is [name]Athena[/name], and I [name]LOVE[/name] it. I wouldn’t consider naming my child after her as I feel she might take affront to it, but I’m using [name]Sophia[/name] (meaning wise) to honor her. I feel the same with [name]Apollo[/name], who is my husbands God, and we’re using Lykaion to honor him as the name means [name]Wolf[/name] and the wolf is one of [name]Apollo[/name]'s sacred animals.

I’m using [name]Loki[/name] and [name]Persephone[/name] because I don’t worship them specifically but want to pay tribute to them and the things they do for us :slight_smile:

Other than that, I love a ton of mythological names. I love the titans like Hyperion, [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Rhea[/name] (which is pronounced [name]RAY[/name]-uh in Greek), [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]Selene[/name].
I love the primordial names like [name]Gaia[/name], [name]Nyx[/name], and [name]Thalassa[/name]
I love the God/[name]Goddess[/name] names [name]Pan[/name], [name]Apollo[/name], [name]Artemis[/name], [name]Athena[/name], and [name]Hestia[/name]
There’s also quite a lot of minor dieties whose names I love but who rule over awful things: Adikia, Alastor, [name]Eirene[/name], [name]Harmonia[/name], Lachesis, Soteria
And the others (which are Heroes, Deified mortals, and minor gods/goddesses): Megaera, Hecate (he-[name]CATE[/name]-tee), Acheron, [name]Damon[/name], [name]Simon[/name], Hemera, [name]Iris[/name], [name]Maia[/name], [name]Cybele[/name], [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Psyche[/name], [name]Thalia[/name] (thay-lee-ah in Greek), [name]Circe[/name], [name]Clio[/name], [name]Perseus[/name], [name]Theseus[/name], [name]Andromeda[/name], [name]Cassandra[/name], [name]Hermione[/name] (hair-me-oh-nee in Greek)

There are others besides Greek that I like such as [name]Loki[/name], [name]Freya[/name], Ceredwen, [name]Osiris[/name], [name]Isis[/name]… :slight_smile:

I think [name]Apollo[/name] is a cute name, thought not for me.

I like the names on your list, especially [name]Athena[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name] and [name]Orion[/name].

I think it is an interesting name but not my style. My husband’s cousin just had a little [name]Apollo[/name] a few weeks ago, brother to [name]Leo[/name].

Oh I forgot [name]Isis[/name] and [name]Freya[/name]! Thanks for the correction Dantea!
