Lexicon of Greek Personal Names
#1
While searching for something unrelated I stumbled across this project by the British Academy. It has set out to collect and publish all ancient Greek names from the 8th century BC to the late Empire.

Not only does it list names, it also contains different statistics so you can see which names were popular in which areas.

I suppose it's use is fairly limited, but if a reenactor wants to name a persona or something similar, this could be very helpful.

And, if you are like me and can't read Greek letters, running names through Google Translate seems to give an idea of what the names would be in Latin characters.
