Middle name help
I find myself falling increasingly in love with the name Adresteia, particularly because of its meaning. I've decided to use it in a story I'm working on and am looking for middle name suggestions.
I suppose I should clarify that its for a woman, present day USA. Oh, and it should probably been more on the traditional, classic side...

Adrasteia is most often linked to the Greek name Adrastos, possibly meaning "he who stays, who does not flee". Another suggested meaning is "unescapable", fitting to the name as Adrasteia is an epithet of Nemesis, the Greek goddess of divine retribution. Adrasteia is also the name of several other Greek figures, including the nymph in charge of caring for the infant Zeus. Pronounced ah drah STAY ah.
