| DJTeddyBear Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 265 | Uncommon is one thing, unpronounceable is entirely different. For that reason, I voted for Larissa. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

Astarte is a Phoenician goddess, wife or consort of the god Melkart. Jocasta was Oedipus' mother and, well, you know the yucky details if you've read the fable. Odd names I discarded: Artemis Ankhasunamun Akhet (not a real name, but a nice one. It means "Horizon") Demeter Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 265 | Artemis is a name I've heard before - I think it was a name used on the radio by the cop that was tracking Otis (Ned Beatty) in the subway tunnels near Luthor's lair in the 1978 Superman movie. It is pronounceable. The other three are not. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

| beachbumbabs Member since: Sep 3, 2013 Threads: 6 Posts: 1600 | I would have taken Demeter over the 3 you listed, though I like Jocasta as well (in my head I hear Iocasta for some reason). Artemis is another good name. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |
