I named my first born after my father in law and would like some suggestions for my future kids. Girls names are easy but I would like some suggestions on boys names, names that would be easy to pronounce for non greek speaking people and names that others cant easily make fun of. Genuine answers would be appreciated.

Zeus, Adonis, Aristotle, Herodotis, Herecles (Hercules), Pericles, Testicles. Okay, sorry. Aristotle is okay, Ari for short. Kids are going to find ways of making fun of any name. He either laughs with it or toughens up. I did both, depending on how big the other kid was! Remember the song, "A Boy Named Sue"? Well my name isn't Sue but it could be a girl's name. A Greek name? How about Kappa kappa kappa? Have a good day and enjoy they new baby. Pedro? Must be south Greece.

If you want to follow the tradition of Greece you might use the other names of the grandparents. But if you want to babtise them orthodox it must be an greek orthodox name.
Alexandros, Alexios , Evangelos (Vangelis), Stefanos, Georgios (George), Konstantinos, Michalis (Michael), Nikita, Marios, Antonios (Tony), Christoferos, Sebastianos, Stellios, Johannis (John)
.... the most greek names end with an -os but when you pronounce them you cut the -os or you change it with an -e
For example Alexandros - Alexandre - Alexi - Alex
