Taking to social media, the woman shared her unusual name considering she lives in the US.
While it may be popular in Greece, the name isn't so common in America where she grew up leading many children to take the mick out of her.
She revealed her name was Aphrodite, after the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation.
But it didn't go down well for her while she was growing up.
Posing in front of the camera wearing an LA cap, denim shorts and white vest she revealed what growing up with a unique baby name was really like.
She said: "Me when my parents decided to name me Aphrodite and then send me to public school as a below average looking kid."
Aphrodite claimed the whole ordeal was a 'character building exercise.'
Despite being bullied at school, it seemed that now many people agreed the name was perfect for the young brunette beauty.
