Mythology Baby Names — Gods, Epics & Meanings
Mythology is the style word for parents who want a name with a plot. Search data puts it next to celestial and vintage: not quite a nature word-name, not quite a grandparent revival. The risk is costume. A god-name that only works at a comic convention will not work at a pediatrician's office.
We keep this list to names tagged or rooted in mythic, divine, and related catalog lanes — then you still have to read the story. Naming a child after a figure known mainly for wrath is a choice you should make on purpose.
