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.

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 :)

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

The first name that popped into my head was Florence.

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 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!

Kate

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

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

Anne?
Ellen?

I think Imogen goes very well with Persephone.

(got a problem with double barrelled names reikizen)
