Astraea, Asteria - it seems, that I've loved them for ages. The Astra- part is alluring, imo.Calliope - -pee ending spoils everything. I think Calliopa is a bit better, but personally I prefer other Calli's: Callisto and Calypso.Kore - it's too hardcore, and Persephone will always be just Persy/Percy, and I prefer Percy on a boy.Hecate - enigmatic, witchy, strong. It's not even GP, it's something you would never use, but you don't want to in the first place.

Chione (I also like Chiona and Chionia) - one of my favourite 'rare gem' names! It's enchanting. I love the meaning 'snow', especially now, when the summer is hot like hell;)
How do you pronounce Chione? I've heard lots of variants: Kee-oh-nee, Hee-oh-nee, Kie-oh-nee etc.
