Underrated Goddess Names

Girl Names
1

What are your favorite goddess names that aren’t commonly popular (as in not Greek/Roman names or popular ones like [name_f]Freya[/name_f]?) I think there’s a variety of names to empower our girls but the more I search for my own list the more I see the same ones, I’ll probably have to do some digging ( I love when baby names send me on a research project!) but also wouldn’t mind my fellow berries help :joy: TIA!

I really love Ostara!
Other than that:
[name_f]Themis[/name_f] - Greek goddess of law/justice
[name_f]Hebe[/name_f] - Greek goddess of youth (pronounced like [name_f]Evie[/name_f] in Greek, but rhyming with [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] in [name_f]English[/name_f])
[name_f]Hestia[/name_f] - Greek goddess of the home
[name_f]Meret[/name_f] - Egyptian goddess of singing and dancing
Serket - Egyptian goddess of fertility

I think Circe deserves more love! Not entirely sure if it’s classed as a goddess name but I’d say it’s in that category.

Some might not be rare, per se, but they’re definitely underrated.
Maia - mother of [name_m]Hermes[/name_m] (she’s a nymph)
Evadne - daughter of [name_m]Poseidon[/name_m] (demi-god)
Pandora - creation of the gods, [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]’s box (not technically a goddess but still an important mythological figure)
Proserpine/Proserpina - [name_m]Roman[/name_m] name of [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
Zorya - Slavic goddess of midnight
