Here's a great game I played with the family a few tings. It was very "edutaining" to me.
The Greek titans were:
* Gaea
* Uranus
* Cronus
* Thea
* Prometheus
* Epimetheus
* Atlas
* Metis
* Dione
* Rhea
* Oceanus
* Tethys
* Hyperion
* Mnemosyne
* Themis
* Iapetus
* Coeus
* Crius
* Phoebe
The names (and variants) are still used today because they were very influential spirtitual figures back in ancient times. Even in the recent several hundred years, we still back "respect" to them as sort of "ficticious superheroes". Some of these names became planet names or other scientfic names. The names or variants thereof became people names, too, such as Dione/Dionne, Rhea, and Phoebe. The word "Titan" is from a Greek word "τιτανος," that means white clay, white men. Here's a cool link with a good description of the history of the titans.

Of course there's the Tennessee Titans now, carrying on the great tradition of titanizm! (if that's a word!)
