My son's name is Apollo and he's having a baby brother. Can you think of names that would go well with his?

Among the girls names we liked we would have seriously considered names like Hera and Athena! Gaius doesn't go too well with my surname.
Artemis was Apollo's sister for anyone who doesn't know.. I do like the idea of shortening it to Art or Artie though! I like Simon & Garfunkel so that might be in the running actually!
Other greek origin names we liked were Ophelia and Pheobe. Alas, it's a boy!
I had names like Orion, Atlas and Europa on my list before we knew the gender, but they fell below some of the more common names or names we felt my parents might find more palatable! 😄
In addition to thinking of how the names go together I'm also thinking of how people might shorten names for nicknames, any colloquial issues or mockery that could occur etc. It's difficult!
Orion is one of those that sounded like an instant "no" to me at first, but I'm not sure... Apollo & Orion does have a nice ring to it. And he could be my little Oreo 😋
I think these might be out just purely to avoid any feelings of insecurity as he grows up or reactions from people that might think the names come from a place of arrogance... I do actually like them - but being a man called Adonis is giving someone a lot to live up to! Likewise king of the gods!
Now this is kind of funny but also awesome. It has a bit of an alliterative feel with my surname too.. I feel like it would increase odds of him being famous to at least 80%

Damn it lol as soon as I entered the thread I control F'd to see if I could still make the joke
I know Artemis was a goddesses name, but it's 2022 who cares? That or Kratos.

It's not a common name here where I live, but weirdly enough there's another little boy on our street with the same name! I think it might be getting a surge in popularity!
