in reply to a message by Lucille

Girls: Andromache, Cassandra, Thetis (Achilles' mother), Alcyone, Camilla, Cytherea (another name for Aphrodite), Ariadne
Boys: Aias, Calais (an Argonaut), Hylas (Hercules' squire), Anchises (father of Aeneas)

I had trouble with this one. Because I love Greek mythology, I chose most of the names based on the character who bore them. (Andromache, Cassandra, and Camilla are three of the most fascinating women in Greek/Roman mythology.) On the other hand, I love the legend of Hector but certainly don't like his name.
