Greek names/ -'nee'
What are your favorite greek names? I was just looking at Kallistos. I thought it was interesting. Also, what are some girls' names ending with 'nee'? I don't mind spelling, it could be -nie or -nea, whatever. Thanks!

My favourite Greek name is Korë. ((Er, I think only Kore links back to the page...)) I tend to like feminine names more than masculine names in general, so the other Greek names that come to mind are things like Danae and Ariadne. Melissa is Greek, and has been growing on me. I'm fond of Tycho, too, for the boys...
