Too many Greek and Roman names to mention, and so many from plenty of different fables and legends. These are my favorites kinds of names: ones with a massive "history" (true, false, or exaggerated).

Aeneas - although the spelling is cumbersome and confusing
Amalthea
Anahita
Aoide
Aoife
Apollo
Arethusa - admittedly a bit tough, but it is also a beautiful waterfall in the White Mountains, NH
Aruna
Astraea - another tough spelling
Athena
Bahman
Bron/Bronwen
Calliope
Chandra
Danae
Eudora
Hera
Janus
Juno - unfortunately, you have to contend with the movie (good movie, but not necessarily one you want ppl to associate with child's name)
Lorelei - I love this name
Nina - (fertility goddess)
Orion
Phaedra
Phoebe
