Some interesting greek names I came across.



Girls
Kalliopi
Ileana
Iona
Amaryllis
Ariadne
Ophelia (didnt know it was greek)

boys
Kostas
Ambrose
Calix
Leonidas
Anastacios
Theseus

The only names I could stand using are Kalliopi (kalli), Ophelia, and Calix (cal) because I doubt I could pronounce the rest lol.

My sister at one point really liked the name Kalix. I really actually like the name Calix/Kalix it's a nice name that kinda sounds like Caleb, which I love.

I met an Ariadne, and I believe it's said "air-ee-ADD-knee". I think it's a fine name, but not one I'd consider using.

I really like Kostas/Kostos.

Illeana with two ls is actually one of my favourite names :>

I LOVE Ophelia

I thought it was Calliope?

Iona is pretty, I know two kids with that name.

Theseus is the only boys' name I like.

Ariadne was my favorite name when I was little, because of the myth of the Minotaur.

Kostas is pronounced just how it reads...

ko (hard k, long o) - stas (short a)

[so-there.livejournal.com]

actually it's a short o. it's my cousin-in-law's name. short for Constantinas. (sometimes spelled with a k, apparently. I've seen it both ways for him. maybe because he grew up in greece but is in the states now?)

Castor and Pollux are two of my favorites. they are the gimini twins. :)

i love the name Calliopi. but that is because of Neil Gaiman.

i also love Kostas and Calix. and Theseus is okie. :)

[fireyirishangel.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected!

I've always heard it with the long o, but obviously, it can be said both ways :)

I have heard Calliope, but not Kalliopi ;)
I like Ariadne & Ophelia! I doubt I'd ever use them, but they're pretty =)
