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

Thank you for the suggestions.

Not Grace unfortunately whereas I think it's a beautiful name my Husband loathes it he says it's far too common.

For reference this is the other combination of names we currently have.

Marina Elizabeth Frances
Camilla Frances Alexandrina

We like Hester, Artemis and Otillie but not sure how well they sit with Persephone.

Persephone Jane Anne. Or similar. Why do you "need" 2 middle names? My siblings have 2 each and I only have one. I have resented it all my life because mine is a boy's name never bothered me.

Realise Jane and Anne may be dated (though I love Jane as a middle name ackchwrley)

I love Persephone Grace

Eleanor, Grace, Catherine, Elizabeth, Helena, Abigail, Isobel, Beatrix all jump to mind initially.

I think you need to avoid an -ee sound in the end of a name and you need a long name just after Persephone, a short name straight away feels too harsh.

Persephone Elizabeth Grace and Persephone Isobel Grace sound particularly nice imo.

I love Persephone but DH hates it Angry

I love the name Persephone - think it's beautiful. No suggestions for middle names though (sorry, not helpful!)
