Very good, interesting question!

---

Amphitrite or Salacia -- I've always though Amphitrite is one of the greatest Greek mythology names (and Salacia sounds like salacious, so...)
Aphrodite or Venus -- Aphrodite
Ares or Mars -- I don't know. They're both good, but I think Mars had a more positive connotation, so I'll go with Mars
Artemis or Diana -- Artemis, mostly for the unusualness
Athena or Minerva -- Athena
Chloris or Flora -- Flora
Cronus or Saturn -- they're both so cool! Why do I have to choose?
Demeter or Ceres -- another case where I can't really choose
Dionysus or Bacchus -- Dionysus
Eos or Aurora -- Aurora
Eris or Discordia -- Eris for use, Discordia because it's great
Eros or Cupid -- Eros
Gaia or Tellus -- Gaia
Irene or Pax -- as it is, Pax, but I love Irena and other versions of the name that end in a
Hades or Pluto -- they're both good
Hecate or Trivia -- Hecate, because it fits the idea better
Helios or Sol -- either
Hera or Juno -- Hera, in spite of how she's portrayed
Hermes or Mercury -- Mercury
Hephaestus or Vulcan -- both, unless I'm allowed to use the English pronunciation of Vulcan rather than the Latin one
Hesperos or Vesper -- Vesper
Hestia or Vesta -- I like both
Hypnos or Somnus -- both
Persephone or Proserpina -- Proserpina, although I like both
Poseidon or Neptune -- both
Selene or Luna -- both
Silenus or Silvanus -- Silvanus
Tyche or Fortuna -- Fortuna, but just barely
Zeus or Jupiter -- both

I really can't say which form I like better on the whole, although that's probably because there are too many cases where I liked both.
