I'm writing a story about a very unique woman and a spartan warrior. Unfortunately, I cant get very far without naming my main character. therefore, I need an original name for an escaped slave-girl. Something as unique as she is. Frankly, I'm stumped.

The site below is one of those I use to get names from. I know it says Gaming Geeks at the top of the page, but I like to look through it for names of characters. I'm also giving a direct link to their section on Greek names of various origins (Greek, Biblical, Latin, etc.), some Greek rulers, and a little history on Greece and Cyprus

For some truly unique names, go here: http://www.babyzone.com/babynames/nameinventor.asp
It invents names! Be careful though, it's liable to come up with things like "tin" or a vowelless name every once in a while.
(Sorry I'm no help outside of links! I'm not very good with naming characters myself, that's why I have these to fall back on.)

Freya - Scandinavian orgin
Lleyke - Welsh orgin
Fabienne - Latin orgin
I like these names, but Spartans are Greek, so here are some unique Greek names:
Acacia
Airlia
Alethea
Callia
Castalia
Deianira - wife of hercules, might be useful
Electra
Eulaila
Gaia
Hesper
Kaethe
Kaia
Kalika
Kyrene
Lenore
Neola
Nessa
Nicola
Obelia
Oria
Oriana
Pelagia
Pyrena
Selena
Thalia
Zenaide
My favorite out of all of them is Freya, but it is not originally Greek. I hope you find one that you like. Please tell me which one you pick in the end.

Check out the online naming web sites, and search for "Spartan" in it. It would be good.
Maybe Ratan?
Parta
Sartan
Arta
