Not coming up with names with agree on, and Persephone is a hard name to top!

So far we've got Serafina (altho not liking the nn of Sera/Sarah) and Anastasia.

Any other suggestions welcome

:( My daughter is Persephone. I just really loved the name. Didn't choose it to be 'pretentious'. I actually fell in love with it in Malorie Blackman's books.
So :P

But posh isn't an insult??? Peasant is??

So the fuck off doesn't bother you but the peasant does?

He sounds lovely Everlong. Have you still got the spaniel?

Would Hera be cruel? One queen of heaven and one queen of the afterworld?! Grin

Hayleyh34 · 11/08/2013 22:30

I would still never refer to a human being as a peasant. To me that is awful

Hayleyh34 · 11/08/2013 22:29

Oh everlong, nothing wrong with people thinking they're posh. It was just my opinion. In my opinion none of these names are posh. I just don't like them.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 11/08/2013 22:24

How about Misaki - meaning beautiful blossom in Japanese ?
or google for other pretty Japanese names related to spring growth and blossom
Or even "blossom" ? (perhaps for a nickname ?)

Hayleyh34 · 11/08/2013 22:24

Just awful to call people peasants Confused

Viviennemary · 11/08/2013 22:23

I was thinking it was a bit too dare I say posh. But quite like some of the names here. Like Pandora, Cassandra and so on. I hope I'm not a peasant. Grin
