Conclusion: somehow the Greek alphabet is A-I linguistic group. Unused Y is swapped for C in both Male and female names. That means a translation or pronunciation error
So its either meant to be yhi and omiyron. Or the names of men and women are wrong.

As you can see, use of c in the alphabet is incorrect, or the use of y in names is incorrect. Poor Bathykles suddenly sounds like Bathckles (Bath-sickle?) Someone who scrapes your body with a small sickle in the bath? Or named for being the kind of bastard who bathes with a blade?
