I grew up listening to stories based on fairy tales, Greek and Roman myths and legends and they sounded so mystical, ethereal and perfect. Good always triumphed over evil and love always won out. It’s no wonder that I fell in love with the names of the heroines. I identified with the qualities the characters had – they were brave, strong, kind and loving. Qualities like these are what you would like to see brought out in your daughter. My daughter is named after a Greek Goddess – Phoebe.
