What do you think of Thisbe as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

It's from Shakespeare, I thought the pronunciation was well known.

No - ruined for ever by the Bard. There would be jokes about Bottoms and asses.

It would be pronounced Frisbee....

*excuse me, Shakespeare!

it's from Ovid and Shakespear - Pyramus and Thisbe.

I quite like it but surely it has massive potential to be mispronounced? 'This-be' instead of 'Thizbe'?

Do you already have a Pyramus?
