I love Eve. It's so simple, powerful and crosses the ages.

PootlePosyPerkin · 14/01/2013 00:11

My favourite unused-but-would-use name is Lily.

My favourite love-but-would-never-use name is India.

My favourite loved-it-so-we-used-it name is Poppy (not popular on MN I know).

I also love Natalie, Saskia, Seren, Serena, Bethan & Lucy.

Both DD's names have been mentioned

I would like Ottilie for a potential DD3.

DH liked Aurelie, until I pointed out horrible school girls boys would call her Orally Grin

I am 6 weeks pg with DC2 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Seraphina if I have another DD but I feel it will make DD1's 2 syllable name seem boring in comparison so I am going to use it as her middle name if I have another DD.

insancerre · 13/01/2013 15:06

my name is on this thread
strange that I don't consider it to be a beautiful name
I don't dislike it, it's just my name

SarfEasticated · 13/01/2013 14:05

Per SEFF o nee

I really like Persephone books so shudder at how many times I have talked about them and pronounced them wrongly. First world problems eh!

Clawdy · 13/01/2013 14:04

Fritha. It's Anglo-Saxon.Never had courage to use it as everyone said it sounded odd with our surname.Sad

BoyMeetsWorld · 13/01/2013 13:48

Aurora, Roberta or Odette.

Not allowed to use any of them Confused

alexpolismum · 13/01/2013 13:28

how have you been saying it, exactly, Sarf?

SarfEasticated · 13/01/2013 13:22

Ahh so I have been pronouncing it incorrectly all this time - curse you classical background teacher of 1979 Smile

alexpolismum · 13/01/2013 13:15

Per-SEFF-oh-nee = normal English pronunciation

Per-seh-FON-ee = normal Greek pronunciation

HTH

SarfEasticated · 13/01/2013 12:39

barbiecollector I thought that was how you did pronounce Persephone - I wondered how most people would pronounce it incorrectly.
