[Opinions] Need Greek middlename
Id like your 5 fav Greek middlenames for girls and boys, must-bes -not very common like Dimitrios or Maria,
-kind of classic but please no Achilles or similar as its for real persons
-international enough to go well with a classic English First Name and Surname
-can be an anagram/invented
-were great if meaning/connotation had an archetypical touch maybe sth with waterI know Im asking for a lot but if anyone will find the perfect names Im looking for then surely you guys who are just as passionate about names as I am :)Thanks a lot!

I know Basil has a Greek origin but it's considered very English. I actually called my Greek friend to ask about it and her reaction? She laughed and just said "nooooooooooooooooooooo"
