Okay. I know this has been done before but I just felt like telling people a bit about what I thought it could be. It obviously won't be the exact truth but a girl can hope. And, in this case, spread her guesses around fanpop despite the lack of time to do so.
Well, here goes nothing.
Bobby
"Bright fame"
Well, I think he can be a son of Athena of Apollo, since the bright above can mean intelligence of luminous. I don't know why but Apollo fits better in my mind.
Reyna
"Queen", "Pure", "Summit"
Out of all of them, this character is certainly the most discussed of all. Who is Reyna, after all? Who is this girl that seems to signify the end of the Jason/Piper relationship?
Well, of couse I won't be the one to answer this questions, but I'd like to give it a shot as well.
Reyna has different meaning in different places around the world. Summit and queen both point to a meer royal position, while Pure simply throws me off - I don't have that big a knowledge of the gods and godesses.
Still, I don't think of Hera of even one of the big three when I think of her.
In the roman imperium, Mars was also considered of great importance. seconde only to Jupiter. This leads me to believe her royal name to be a reference to her father's place in the roman mithology.
Gwendolyn
"Fair bow; blessed ring"
Okay, this was one of the hardest ever to find a relation. I thought of Apollo and Artemis (as a hunter) but it just didn't fit in my mental image of them. So, I went a little deeper - and, possibly, a little crazy. Wendy is short for Gwendolyn. And I hope everyone remembers who Wendy is. Yes, I'm talking about Peter Pan's Wendy. The Wendy from the tale where kids go to a place where they can be forever young. And, so, I came up with the idea of her as the daughter of Hebe (Juventas).
BUT, as u might have noticed, I don't accept easy explanations. So, I started to think what was really Wendy's importance in Peter Pan. She was the one that made the choices. Which reminded me of that two headed freak, Janus. I know it's a bit crazy but the whole daughter of Janus thing just clicked when I was molding my Son of Neptune story.
Just recently, though, I found out another possibility. Daughter of Hecate (Trivia). It came to me when I was reading about the name and discovered it was the name of Merlin's (the great sorcerer) wife. Still, I'm not getting into details with that one.
Dakota
"Friend", "Ally"
Well, there's always Philotes, a minor greek god, representing affection and friendship, whom I'm not sure to have a roman counterpart. The problem is that it just doesn't make me satisfied.
The name can also mean "forever smiling", though I'm not sure what that can represent. We can also think about Aphrodite of Felicitas (romans do like their names easy and latin, hun?).
Strangely, after reading about the name, I just can't help but to think of Juventas and how youth is always a time of joy and kindness (at least in theory).
Hazel
"Hazel tree"
The obvious choice for this one is Ceres, Baco of Faunus since the name Hazel makes a direct reference to nature. And that, of course, doesn't satisfy me.
I think the real reason behind my constant insatisfaction is that there are already too many children of normal gods. We are in need of minor gods presence as main characters.
Anyway...
Hazel boom made me think of wand and wand made me think of magic, which made me come back to Trivia (Hecate). Yeah, I know I'm tripping, but it just clicks for me to have Hazel as this magical, very nature related being.
That was it, guys.
I hope u enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please, pardon my abnormal informality and my idiotic rants. beer with me, okay?
Reply telling me your opinions and if u agree with my crazy guesses.
No flames, I beg.

Why does every one think Reyna is a b**ch? I mean annabeth was just like her when we were first introduced to HER!! she seemed uptight and unaccepting too but now look..... Reyna's just has a bad life! She's Praetor for gods' sake.. she needs to present her self in a certain way... everyone needs to look up to her! she has to be and example to everyone aat camp! and to those of u who say that JasonXReyna is wrong and jason should be with piper, well think about it this way... if it were reversed and rick riordan had written about the roman camp, Jason would be like percy, reyna, like annabeth and piper like Rachel!
and we would be saying things like this about ANNABETH AND PERCY FOR GODS' SAKE!! THAT AS WRONG AS KILLING PUPPIES!!

Well I guess Im a little late when it came to reading mark of athena, but trust me, Im like the biggest Percy Jackson fan, ad the ending for MoA literally killed me.
BUT HERE ARE MY PREDICTIONSSSSSSSS:
Percy will meet everyone who died in the first season such as Luke and theyll all help him and Annabeth storm the gates.
Annabeth will die I reckon in the 4th book, and Percy will get pretty angry and destroy everyone in the final book.
Zhang will make the decision to pull percy back from tatarus as one person needs to shut the door on each end (which may be annabeth on the tartarus end.)
Reyna and Leo get together

Hello its me Halfblood963 i'm here to talk to u why i think this.
First i think Percy and Annabeth are not the seven cause i mean i think its supposed to be new demigods,jason might not be new to the roman camp but he is new to the greek camp and also He's the leader to the roman camp and Percy and Jason are the bridges to the two camps but Percy was already in another prophecy and didnt Rick say Percy is a supporting character and so is all the old characters.And Seven halfbloods answer the call,Leo and piper did.Jason answered the call i guess to getting his memory.But i think its gonna be different demigods new ones with extradinary powers like a child of neptune with earthquake powers and freezing powers and stuff.
Sorry if i offended anyone and stuff but also i think that since theres one roman and two greeks (jason leo and piper)then the book after focuses on the argo and the two other boeken for the four demigods.
Well bye im again sorry for offending anyone bye bye.
