Okay, to start this off, there is a clear link between the names of houses and the Greek underworld mythos, but not entirely...

Kore is another name for Persephone, goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld. The Kore mansion has rivers that are modeled to be similar to the rivers of the Underworld and has a sort of Ceberus guard dog used for taking the invitations. 

Nyx is a goddess of Night who also dwells in the Underworld. She is also seen as the mother of the Greek God of sleep, Hypnos. (Wonderful naming tactic, really I mean it. Great way to link the patriarch with the name in such a simple yet smart connection) 

Vanth, on the other hand, is an Etruscan goddess and has NO GREEK COUNTERPART (the closest you get is a mixture between Charon because she helped accompany the dead and the Furies, but she was benevolent unlike them). 

After a bit of research and rereading certain scenes of House of Hades by Rick Riordan, I have come to the conclusion the name of the Fallen House is also the name of a Greek/Etruscan God/Goddess . I don’t have explanations for all, and some are just guesses, but let’s see shall we. 

Guess 1: House Hades/ Aita

I know, this is probably the first guess and the easiest. Hades because of the links to the underworld and he rules it. Aita is seen as the Hades of Etruscan myth so maybe that name will be used instead. 

Guess 2: House Thanatos

I just really like this idea. It sounds cool okay?

Guess 3: House Nemesis

Séverin’s obsession with revenge??? I honestly believe he’s actually the heir of the Fallen House. 

Guess 4: House Prometheus

Brought down by their hubris?
