Peta is a legitimate name, if unusual. Hero is archaic but not unheard of. The rest of the girls' names read like a roster of pole dancers.

The boys are a bit more acceptable. I like Hawthorne and Montague. I love Orpheus and Fiero but would never use them. The rest are a bit too out there.

Ah!

I agree with you about Peta and Hero. I got Peta from Australian actress Peta Wilson and W. Shakespeare used the name Hero in one of his plays ("Much Ado About Nothing"). I really like both names but if I had to use one of them it 'd probably be Peta I guess.

And again, I would hardly use any of those names anyway. Not even as a mn (except for Peta maybe...!). ;-)
