I know that Remus Lupin from Harry Potter got the first name Remus from the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus and his last name is Latin or something meaning wolf. and that probably comes from the fact that Romulus and Remus were raised by a she-wolf as children.

Heracles, Orpheus, and Hermes.\n\nIn Roman mythology, Aeneas and later Psyche lulled him to sleep with drugged honeycakes.\n\nI guess a good rule of thumb here, don't accept honeycakes from the gods!  lol

Try reading some books by Zecharia Sitchin or check out his website. Lots of great insights on the gods and their history.

Greek, the Romans copied the greek gods and goddesses, and just gave them different names.  my favorite was Athena...goddess of wisdom

The Greek Creation Myth

It seems every Pagan chick out there wants to call herself Rhiannon, Raven, or Morgan (or some other Morrighan inspired variation like Morganna, Morgaine, etc).  Selene and Amber are pretty common as well.  Unless you'd like your daughter to have a very common Pagan name, I'd avoid these.  \n\nI'm of the thought that the best Pagan name is one that has Pagan origins but isn't immediately recognizable as such by the general public.  Greek mythology has some good ones.  Here are a few nice names...\n\nTHALIA was the muse of comedy.  One of Aphrodite's graces was also named Thalia.  \n\nPENELOPE was Odysseus' wife.  \n\nCLEO was the muse of history.\n\nDAPHNE was a woman Apollon fell in love with, whom he turned into a laurel tree when she didn't return his affections.    \n\nHELEN is famous, of course, from the Trojan War.

Greek gods loved, fought, contrived, planned, helped, ate, drank, and meddled in the affairs of others.  Hmmm..basically they were people with extreme abilities and immortality.

Greek mythology Artemis, is the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. In later times she was conflated with the goddess Diana of Roman mythology. In Etruscan mythology, she took the form of Artume.\n\nOr if you want to buy a missle please visit the link below

I think they should continue with the Greek/Roman God tradition. I'd put my vote for Hera (in greek) Juno (in Roman). She might as well have one.

because the names we use today come from the names used by the ancient greeks and romans and they tended to name the constellations with characters from their mythology.
