First off, I can't tell if that's a girl or boy name. Ares suggests boy, but Hellenes suggests girl.
If it's supposed to be a girl name, maybe Aria, Arianna, Arielle. If you want to stick with the Greek theme, maybe Ariadne.
As for Hellenes, modernize it and make it Helen, if you must keep it.
If it's a boy's name, start over with something new.

It sounds contrived, that is "made up" and slightly fake. Ares means a ram, that is, a male goat or sheep, and that is hardly suitable for a girl. Hellenes is a way of referring to the countries Greece and Cyprus.
Give a child a peculiar name and they will suffer through school and it is no advantage to an adult either.

It sounds like the name of an old Greek warrior, not a cute little baby living in the 21st century (or a middle aged man living in the 21st century, trying to explain to his bosses/clients/coworkers why his parents gave him this name). Ares, maybe, but not coupled with Hellenes. Sorry.

It's okay...I'm assuming it's for a girl, but I've never heard either name before, so I'm not sure. You could make it more feminine by changing the first name to Arrington (Arrie for short) or Ariana, maybe Amara or Arlie. I think those names would be cute with Hellenes as a middle name!! =)
Good luck! â¥

The fact that both names end in es does not appeal to me- and Ares is so neutral as to be boring.
Aria Helene would be the same feel of both names, but in fact , ARE actual names- so in my opinion you need to search a bit more. Or explain what the names you've chosen come from, and perhaps the meanings will make them more appealing.

I fear that I am in agreement with the others. You need to consider the child bearing the name.
Think of it this way - if it were *your* name would you want to change it when you are 18?
And in times such as these,do you want to give a child such a martial name? (Ares, greek god of war)
There are many solid Greek names out there - I would avoid the more known mythological ones to keep the teasing factor to a minimum.

Well it's very Greek. I'm not sure about the gender. Aries is a male, the Greek god of war, and Helen is female, the famous "Helen of Troy" who's face "launched a thousand ships". I guess if the child is a Greek, warlike hermaphrodite it's a good choice, otherwise kind of confusing.

Ares as in the Greek god of War?
Bad idea.
Hellenes is not much better.
Going for a Greek theme, are we? There are better choices out there.

Sounds like a part of human anatomy... or a star constellation..
Sorry, not feeling it.
