Answer 3

I am a Greek Canadian and we didn't want to go by the whole tradition of naming children after our parents, since we wanted to introduce new names. We named our Son Loukas and his name day is October 18th. Our daughters name is Mikaela (in greek it's pronounced mee-ha-e-la) Konstantina and her name day is the same as her birthday, November 8th, which is how we came up with her name, the female form of Michael.
Some other names we were considering and that are in our family are.

Vasiliki (she goes by Billie)
Athena
Evan (Evgeni in greek)
Alexander
Cassandra
Kalliope (Kallie..like the girl from Grey's anatomy)
Constantine
Arianna (our second choice)
Angelina
Kyra
Christian (Kristianos in Greek)
Larissa

Answer 4

I knew a little girl called Crysanthe when I was a teacher (Cris-anth-ee). This is quite pretty.
How about Persephone (Per-seff-on-ee) - unusual and not common. Hermione, Penelope, Eleni...

For boys I like Alexander, Nicholas, Andrew - I think all of these have Greek origins.

That is all I can think of.

Answer 5

Always thought of the names of the Greek gods for Greek names and they are very beautiful and easy to pronounce.
Girl- Artemis(god or the moon)
Aphrodite(afrodity) god of love
or
Calendra(songbird)
Eris(strife)
Genesis(beginning)
Melani(black)
Oracle(prophecy)
Theone(gift from God)

Boy- Cyril(lordly)
Octavius(eighth)
Mathias(gift from God)
Sebastian(venerable)
Socrates(whole rule)
Socrates was also a great philosopher in ancient Greece. He helped and taught a lot of people.

Hope this helped. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and good luck on your baby!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Dorian. It means "One of the early or Ancient Greeks."

It's unisex. It's my 5 y/o nephew's name and a girl in my cousin's graduating class.

It's not very popular, though there were 2 Dorians (male) in his class last yr!

Answer 7

I have Always love the names Ariana Tatyana (Tatiana) and Ileana for girls.
Christos
Nikolo or Nikola or Nikolai
Adrian
Alexi
Alexander (Aleczander)

Those are all the names I know - well, Aristotle, as in Aristotle Onasis. Best Wishes.
