I need advice on names for my story.

 

The main character (girl) lives in a Utopian-Greek gods style community, where she is next in line to rule. The thing is, she doesn't WANT to rule. Before her 16th birthday she is kidnapped, and when word reaches her that her father has died and that she must step up, she has to make the choice.

 

Basically, it's a mix of The Giver, If I Stay, and City of Ember. With alot of Greek mythology-esq themes.

 

I have these names so far, please let me know what you think.

 

The goal is to have the names be as pronounceable and as unique and mythological as possible, without being too popular or recognizable.

 

Main Characters:

 

Princess Phoebe Dimitra Kryptos

Queen Dodona Markita Kryptos

King Atteki Alexey Kryptos

Evander "Vander" Stagen

Nikias Stagen

Markos Reegium

Selene

Tabitha

Hera

Perseophone

 

Please let me know what changes I should make. Thanks so much.

Princess Phoebe Dimitra Kryptos- Again the middle name is great but Phoebe, eh its not my style but i would go for something more exciting, and adventourous for your main character. Suggestions: Astraea nnTrae, Cressida nn Cressa, Cassia nn Cassi or Sia, Rhiannon nn Rhia.

Queen Dodona Markita Kryptos- I like the middle name, but the first name all I think of is Dodona Bird. Suggestions: Hera, Medea, Clio, Freyja

King Atteki Alexey Kryptos - I do not think Atteki is very pronounceable. I would change that first name. And the spelling of the middle name would look better spelled like this : Alexei. Suggestions: Castor, Adonis, Priam

Evander "Vander" Stagen - I personally love the name, and if he is the guy in the story, the name is so very handsome. 

Nikias Stagen- Unique name, not sure how to pronounce it, but I wouldn't change it. It looks cool. But is it a boy or girl? 

Markos Reegium- The alternate spelling of this name most definetely gives it a flair of uniqueness. its a keeper

Selene, Tabitha, Hera, Perseophone: What about Athena? that name is gorgeous. but all these names work. Suggestion for other names: Theia, Daphne, Isis
