Mythological Beauties

I decided I would do a post about Mythology names today. It seems as though Goddess names (the the occasional God name) along with other names from mythology (from all over the world, not just Greek...) are getting to be rather popular. What better inspiration than Mythology? Literary, beautiful, artistic and meaningful.

Female:

Athena
Evadne
Althea
Halen / Helena
Gaia
Alcyone - al-sigh-on-ee
Alethia
Chloe
Accalia - ah-kay-lee-ah
Calypso
Cassandra

Male:

Aeson - ay-son
Hector
Leander
Zephyr



Celtic Myth

Female:

Aina - ahn-ya

Branwen
Fionnuala - has been shorted to Finola, though.
Ceridwen - care-id-wen
Deirdre - deer-dra / dee-dra
Emer
Sabrina
Epona
Brigid - also Bridget
Eri
Damara
Morrigan -I love this spelling for a girl! Morgan is so masculine.
Niamh - neev
Rhiannon - ree-ann-en
Sirona

Male:

Aeron
Gwydion
Taliesen - kind of like tal-is-on and tali-esson, kind of in the middle, though English speakers will probably say Tal-is-on.
Cian - kee-an

Beyla
