I Have a new 6 week old puppy whom were trying to name, his father was shot and killed by the police because he got out of the yard and was roaming around the neighborhood without a leash so when the police were called and saw that it was a Pitbull the cops put him down! Anyways my puppies dads name was Morpheus and i would like to name my puppy something in honor of his dad since he is the only one of a litter of 13 that came out with the same markings as his dad and looks just like him, so i have been trying to find online if Morpheus, the god of dreams, ever had any children, anybody really into greek mythology know if he did? thanx so much in advance!

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dog.
Morpheus had no children. He was depicted as a boy who could imitate any sound and shape.
Morpheus: God of Dreams. Son of Hypnos and Pasithea, Morpheus is also the nephew of Thanatos, the God of Death.
Morpheus was the god of dreams in Greek mythology. According to some ancient sources - such as the Roman poet Ovid - he was the son of Hypnos, (Hypnos was known as Somnus in Roman mythology) - the god of Sleep. Morpheus briefly appears in Ovid's Metamorphoses:
"King Sleep was father of a thousand sons -
indeed a tribe - and of them all, the one
he chose was Morpheus, who had such skill
in miming any human form at will.
No other Dream can match his artistry
in counterfeiting men: their voice, their gait,
their face - their moods; and, too, he imitates
their dress precisely and the words they use
most frequently. But he mimes only men..."
Ovid therefore suggests that Morpheus only sends images of humans in dreams or visions, while his brothers Phobetor and Phantasos are in charge of depicting dream images of animals and inanimate objects. Together these three sons of Sleep - Morpheus, Phobetor, and Phantasos - rule the realm of dreams.

Demeter isn't a guy!!! How might want to you imagine that?? She Is An Olympian Goddess. She Is The Daughter Of Kronos, King Of The Titans, and also Of The Titan Rhea, Kronos' spouse/Sister. Demeter Is The Sister Of Zeus, Posiden, Hades, Hera, And Hestia. The Six Of Them Are The 6 unique Olympians. Demeter is likewise the mummy Of Persephone, Queen Of The Underworld And spouse To Hades. Demeter And Persephone Make The Seasons replace in accordance to Mythology. i wish This helps. And remember, Demeter Is a lady, no longer a guy!

Somnus (Hypnus) was the Father of Morpheus. I can find no son of Morpheus. He had two bothers Icelus and Phantasus.

Nope; Morpheus had no kids. His dad was Hypnos, siblings were Phantasus & Phobetor, but no children.

Morpheus lived in the cavern of dreams which was filled with poppies. Perhaps if your pup is female, you could call her Poppy?
