Sister to Rhea (Grecian/astrological/classical names needed!)

Girl Names
1

We have a toddler daughter named [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] (pronounced Ray-uh) and are expecting another baby this winter (sex unknown yet).

[name_f]Rhea[/name_f] is one of Saturn’s moons and a Greek titaness in mythology. We love that it has such an ancient history, and also that it was last popular in the late 1800’s so it also has a classical feel.

We are now searching names that are similar (Grecian/astrological background, yet familiar/classical). If you have suggestions, please share!

The only girl names we love right now are [name_f]Irene[/name_f] and [name_f]Leda[/name_f] but are struggling for a middle name for either! Looking forward to your thoughts!

I find both your girls choices to be very close in sound to [name_f]Rhea[/name_f], I could imagine [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Irene[/name_f] and [name_f]Leda[/name_f] follows the same sound pattern as [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] (two syllables, first ending in E, second in A).
Perhaps [name_f]Leto[/name_f] also appeals to you, it feels a little more removed in sound.

As for other names, without doing any research I can think of [name_f]Circe[/name_f], [name_f]Elpida[/name_f], [name_f]Kallisto[/name_f], Hebe/Phoebe/Thebe, [name_f]Elara[/name_f] or [name_f]Selene[/name_f].

Leda is super pretty! what’s your daughters middle name? just so we can have a feel as to other names you like, that can go well with your other child’s name!

i can only think of two that you might like right now, Hera (the Qreek Queen of Heaven) and Juno, which is what the Romans called Hera.

[name_f]Veda[/name_f]

I love your suggestion of [name_f]Selene[/name_f] so much, but it is my brother’s ex-girlfriend’s name. :upside_down_face:
