Middle name for Persephone...?

Any ideas? Our surname is a double barrel along the lines of Watson-Ingram (but more unusual)

We were thinking of Imogen? But maybe something shorter would be better.

I think Imogen goes very well with Persephone.

(got a problem with double barrelled names reikizen)

Yes Anne is a choice (Anne Boleyn is a hero of mine). I was also thinking of Tudor.

Eve is nice, Evelyn was a choice for the 1st name.

Persephone was on our list for dd1 and dd2, and we also have a double barrelled sure name.

We were going to use Persephone Luna, Persephone Rose or Persephone Jean!

With such a long first names think a single syllable middle name would be nice. I think Anne is a lovely strong classic choice.

Persephone Katherine
Persephone Juliet
Persephone Margaret
Persephone Alexandra
Persephone Alice
Persephone Cassia

Persephone Gloria
Persephone Beatrice
Persephone Matilda
Persephone Victoria

The first name that popped into my head was Florence.

Something short, one syllable, I would think would be best. :)

Having consulted DP i think the consensus is Persephone Eve.

Thanks guys.

I like Florence, but if we have a boy his middle name will be Floros - after a friend who died this year. So don't want 2 with the floral middle name :)

Puffpants that's a good one Smile

I vote for Eve too. Although I love Evelyn.

LemonLovesLilac · 04/08/2012 21:30

Persephone Juno
Persephone Beatrix
Persephone Celeste

Beautiful name!!

Rainbowsurf · 04/08/2012 21:46

I love Evelyn

DumSpiroSpero · 04/08/2012 22:28

I know a fabulous 4 year old Evelyn. In the 2.5+ years she has been coming into my place of work, I have never seen her without a smile on her face.

There really couldn't be a better advert for the name Smile.

austenozzy · 04/08/2012 22:31

Shazza or Stace would go beautifully.

tiddlypool · 05/08/2012 00:49

Persephone Pretentious Parents would be apt.

EcoLady · 05/08/2012 01:13

She'll be called Percy Phone at school. Pretty name but just too unusual these days.
