Im pretty new to MN but I LOVE looking at baby names. I love picking names for (imaginary) DC2. Since coming on here there are loads of names I've never heard of (and prob can't pronounce!)
So far...
Clementine
Persephone
Cecily
Seraphina
Are the ones that stick out. So, what names have MNetters introduced you to, and have you used them?

How is Persephone pronounced? In my head it's purse-a-phoney

Theo & Luka, although I've heard them since irl.
Would say Isla, too, but for Islabikes.
I want to wager I'll never meet a Clementine irl, too.

Persephone is the only one I can think of, and now that I have heard of it, I wish I hadn't :)

I'd never heard Atticus until I started lurking here.
