Hestia & Ismene are tops right now in my book. I like other -ne names (though wouldn't use them) too: Antigone, Selene, Helene, & Persephone. Penelope, Phoebe, and Iphigenia are also pretty cool. I also adore Zenobia or Zinovia & Zenaida (not Greek but from the Greek Zenais).

Names from Greek Myths? Modern usage?
Either way, Hermione. I LOVE this name.
