But now I just have to suggest Buttercup... 
Torm said:My rule of thumb has been to give my kids a relatively normal first name, and an interesting middle name: It may be neat to have her friends call her "Galadriel", but Jessica G. is a lot more likely to get hired, I think.
This is true. At worst, give her the silly first name and a normal middle name as a fall-back position.
Sarajaine"The Solar" said:wow some great names here thank you!
If we have a daughter, Astrid is a likely name. I would avoid Frigg(a) since her name has retained a meaning in Anglo-Saxon slang parlance...
Freya is ok but a bit cheesy IMO. Sif is kinda cool - my sister is called Sigrid, which is the related German form. Male versions are Siegfried (German) and Sigurd (Norse).

Hmmm...
Lasair is a Celtic goddess who became an Irish saint, as did Brigid/Brigitte...
Niamh is a Celtic goddess, queen of the land of Eternal Youth, but nobody will ever pronounce it right.
Rhiannon is a Welsh goddess from the Mabinogion.
Aglaia means beauty in Greek. She's one of the three Graces.
Ligeia is one of the sirens. Leucosia and Thelxiope too.
Deianira was a wife of Herakles (Hercules).
Lavinia was the princess of Latium and the second wife of Aeneas
Sybil was a prophetess from the Aeneid (and ither stuff).
Niara is a name I made up. Kinda catchy though.
Moira is the singular form of "The Fates" from Greek myth
Atalanta was a Greek heroine, though may sound too much like Atlanta.
Aoifa was a Celtic shadow-amazon/warrior-woman.
Calliope, Clio, Terpsichore, Urania, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Erato, Polyhymnia, the nine Muses, although some of those aren't such good names...
Themis the Titaness or the similar Thetis, the nereid mother of Akhilles.
Eurynome, a Pelsgian creator-goddess who became an oceanid in classical Greek myth
Ishtar is a Babylonian goddess of beauty/war, and Inanna is the Sumerian equivalent.
Helen was a pretty famous Greek girl, and her mother was Leda.
And so many more!

Among my son's name you'll find Dante. That's a cool sounding name, at least to me. We don't call him that everyday though. Just when we want him to feel special-special.
My daughter has among other names Nemi. The Norwegian cartoon (Google it!) which you might have stumbled upon.
Their first names are more common international ones (no umlauts) which both starts with the same letter.
