    Unless we're talking Will Eisner's Spirit, I don't understand how spirit works for a living human being. She's not a spirit. Maybe she has the spirit of truth within her but it seems a strained metaphor to say she is the Spirit of Truth. Goddess of Truth maybe--if you buy the idea that Wonder Woman is a goddess.

    Batman isn't a knight and Superman isn't literally made of steel.

    Mistress of Myth and Once Goddess, Once Princess also sound cool as titles, but I think the other two are more distinct.
    Champion of Truth sounds cool.

    I was thinking Soldier of Victory, but I know the soldier part would get backlash.

    AoP sounds generic.

    Mistress now has a negative connotation.

    OG, OP is a great, fairy-tale-like name, but doesn't fit the convention.

    "Spirit of Truth" sounds like she's an extremely honest ghost, my vote would go to "Amazing Amazon" for it's longevity and alliteration. It's not flashy but it's not as dated as Supergirl's "Maid of Might" or Batgirl's "Dominoed Daredoll".

    "Once Princess, Once Goddess" is cool but it's a mouthful, for something with oomph I'd with "Warrior for Peace".

    Hard to imagine she does as a spy, but that still serves the truth by exposing malicious secrets-- something represented by her lasso. It's like how Melisandre from GoT hates darkness but uses shadow magic to serve the god of light.

    She isn't much of a spy these days. That's mostly Steve and Etta.

    Was thinking the other day that it’s odd DC hasn’t given her a consistent moniker like Batman’s The Dark Knight or Superman’s Man of Steel (even though neither of those are my favorite title for either). But of the two I like Spirit of Truth more.

    It's Champion of the Amazons > Champion of Themyscira. Spirit of Truth > Champion of Themyscira. Champion of the Amazons >= Spirit of Truth for me.
