One of the names me and my husband love for our baby if it is a girl is Persephone. However we are struggling with the middle names.

We need two or three middle names. These can be English names or Classical Greek.

I am open to suggestions.

Many Thanks

Ignore this taking the piss.

It's a beautiful name.

Oh I missed it to. Hilarious.

Cassady · 10/10/2014 12:08

Please don't. Hester is pretty awful too.

SummerMeadow33 · 09/10/2014 21:43

Oh. Just seen the fake reveal. :(

Briseis!? The one who fell in love with Achilles. Lovely sound to it. There is a Perdita where I live.

But, but...Shock

Who would do that?

I was emotionally invested in baby Persephone, dammit.

God I'm thick. Is it really a wind up?

Oscar the thread is a wind up - in this case her other posts are relevant because they're all wind ups

OscarWinningActress · 17/04/2014 19:35

Wow...this thread went nasty, didn't it? It's entirely irrelevant what OP wrote on another thread. Not cool Sad.

And lots of names (even simple ones) are difficult for little kids to pronounce. Nothing unusual about that...in fact, that's often how nicknames originate.

drinkingtea · 17/04/2014 19:25

OP doesn't write well enough to be material gathering for a book, and rwal "UC" people call their children by much more ordinary names... she's just tired of watching afternoon repeats and the food she eats and havong a bit of fun with the great unwashed ... looks like its been going on a while. Too harmless and amusing to report as anything other than a daydreamer trying to bring her paperback to life on the pages of MN though :o

Alisvolatpropiis · 17/04/2014 18:59

Grin @ angel that's hilarious!

I quite like the name Aurora (not enough to actually use it) but do think "what if the poor girl grew up unable to pronounce her R's". Bit of a risk!

NearTheWindymill · 17/04/2014 18:58

Somehow I don't think the OP is called Zenoushka. Grin

Viviennemary · 17/04/2014 18:57

Persephone Princess Tiaamii Crystal?

That is a good name for a pageant queen. And I suppose they could count as minor royalty.

Megrim · 17/04/2014 18:36

But relevant given the uncalled for comments OP made to someone else considering names for their own child that she deemed didn't come up to her own classical standards.

Alisvolatpropiis · 17/04/2014 17:44

I don't really think it's on to copy and paste previous posts the op has made purely to mock her.

Spaghettinetti · 17/04/2014 17:27

Spatchcock, Tyffani comes from the Greek 'Theophania', so it could work ;-)

TinklyLittleLaugh · 17/04/2014 17:17

My humble opinion,

Petentious as fuck darling.

Most of the people I know would wilfully mispronounce it just to wind the OP up.

angeltulips · 17/04/2014 17:14

If it makes you feel better squoosh, I may live in w8 but I don't even own a car (use a city car when I need, which isn't often)

OooOooTheMonkey · 17/04/2014 17:07

How utterly pretentious! People who brag about how rich they are can only be described as vulgar.

Gileswithachainsaw · 17/04/2014 17:06

I wondered if it was waynetta sat at home with recordings of top gear and a copy of Marie Claire she found on the bus

squoosh · 17/04/2014 17:04

If someone could fix it so I too could live bang in the middle of W8 I'd be ever so grateful. Sadly I don't own a Rolls but please don't let that put you off. I'll bring my own brand of earthy charm!

Lj8893 · 17/04/2014 17:02

That went through my mind monkey!!

OooOooTheMonkey · 17/04/2014 17:00

Is the OP Katie Hopkins?! Hmm

Gileswithachainsaw · 17/04/2014 16:54
