Couple name children after gods

A couple had divine inspiration and named four of their children after mythical gods.

Quirky Tony and Elaine Romaeo wanted their offspring to have monikers more memorable than their own.

They are now the proud parents of 11-year-old Venus Valentine and ten-year-old Angel Aphrodite – named after the Roman and Greek love goddesses.



Their younger sister Isis Ise, three, got her name from the Egyptian goddess worshipped as the archetypal wife and mother.

Two-year-old boy Achilles Spartacus Mars is a mix of Greek heroes and the Roman god of war.

And Elaine, 35, is expecting a son – to be named Caesar Augustus Constantine after Roman emperors. She said yesterday: “There’s enough boring normality in the world so instead of getting an A-Z of baby names, I bought some history books.”
