Well, here's a couple obvious ones to start the ball rolling: if it's a
boy, QEODWROS; if it's a girl, DWROQEA; and of course, if you feel so
inclined, you can Anglicize to Theodore or Dorothy. I needn't say what they
mean, do I? Others common in English, with both m. and f. forms:
ALEKSANDROS, ALEKSANDRA: "defending against a man"; I've always liked the
women's names for figures like the Graces and the Horae: EUFROSUNH
"gladness'; QALIA "blossoming"; EIRHNH ("Irene") "peace"; of the Muses:
TERPSIXORH "delighting in dance" ... There's no shortage of names ...
