Decimus Apollo... while I like the sound of it, it would never be something I'd recommend for anything other than a literary character. It sounds very pretentious and as if the parents are trying to hard... especially if they have no Roman/Italian or Greek heritage and don't have a surname that would keep how ethnic, ancestral, and cultural the name sounds from appearing out of place and even more overambitious.

Like I said, it is nice (I actually love Decimus), but it is just too showy.

Jade Alexandria is a good name, though I am not a fan of Jade. And Ambrosia Faye... I can't say that I'd personally enjoy carrying the name of Ambrosia. Onyx Andromeda? Onyx isn't my style. I adore Andromeda, but I'm not sure how I'd react to actually seeing it used.
