Greek Baby Girl Names

sjo_thetwins

I posted here before about Beau and Finleigh. But we have just found out we are having twin baby girls and would like to pay homage to our sperm donor who gave us the ability to have them - he is Greek, so... These are what we have so far, any other suggestions? 

Cora (our number one for one of the girls)
Alexandria (Alex)
Sophie
Indigo (Indy)
Zoey
Demi
Chloe

Middle names would like to stay with Leigh and Jo (our middle names).

Cora Leigh is chosen for one baby. What are thoughts on the below?

Melia Jo
Ariadne (Ari) Jo
Elexis Jo

I like Chloe and Zoe. Suggesting Penelope, Daphne, and Phoebe.

Penelope, Pheobe, and Daphne are out. Either SO dislikes them or a friend is using them.

I think they're both nice

Hallie is so meh paired with Cora. Eleni is another neat Greek name.

I feel like none of these are really that Greek. What about Athena, Konstantina, Melina (means little honey), Theodora, Selene (means moon).

Well, we aren't Greek, just the donor. And we aren't raising them Greek, so the traditional style Greek names in a very southern region of the US are not what we are going for. The simpler names like Eleni, Cora, Halloe, Sofi,etc are more what we like. Even Ariadne is a bit much here, and she would likely be called Ari for the most part. This was just an idea, not a necessity. Especially because to me, the middle names are necessary and not all of the Greek names go with those middle names. 

Cora Leigh is chosen for one, so we are really just trying to get _____ Jo for the other. Aside from Greek names, I'm in love with Fiona and Willow. 

Melina isn't a bad name either if we are sticking Greek.

I like Cora

Hallie Jo just sounds very country and I did Hallie a bit dated

I feel like a longer name balances Jo out maybe Anastasia Jo? I do like Daphne as suggested as well

I love Eleni.

Melina Jo! My #3's middle name is JoAnna and I love the Jo moniker.

I also love Eleni. I just wanted to throw it out there that Melina is lovely but is very close to the word "melena" which is dark sticky feces containing partially digested blood (or in other words, bloody poop). As a nurse myself this has always turned me away from this name. I'm not sure if you already were aware of that but thought I'd mention it!

Fiona Jo is adorable!

DD is Callie. I think it honors the Greek while being easy in the South!

Cora and Callista? If you want to do same initials.

Cora and Astra would be gorgeous!
Cora and Talia also makes a great set.

Philippa Jo? Nickname Pippa and goes with Cora, ancient Greek name also. I'm partial, I've got a Pippa and it's really grown on me now that she's here. (We named her after my dad).
