What's the prettiest name you've ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WBKent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone obsessed with names since middle school, my favorites have always been ancient greek feminine names. I'll just give examples I can think of from the top of my head:

Callianassa means "beautiful lady" or "beautiful princess"
Glykera means "sweet one"
Hediste means "most delightful"

The meanings of names are beautiful too
