Persephone, ophelia,Titania or Andromeda

Effiesmum
I like your DD's name its very nice and best out of OP's bunch.
Can I ask. Why would you choose a 'nick' name. Why do some people give their children nick names when they can easily use their proper names. Your DDs name is not long and complicated so why use a nick name for your child.
Im truly interested as I know a couple of people that do this. I though a nick name is what your friend might give you at school not your parents.

Are you in the family way then sock? ( just being nosy!)

23 year old banger?! That's clearly vintage daahling.

You big try hard. :o

Well even posh people can be arse holes.

Lovely choices. Very tasteful.

Knew it! Delusions of grandeur. Can spot them a mile off.
I have a very good friend from SW London (Barnes). Father from aristocratic family. she has always said. The more outlandish the name the more 'trying to hard'. Keep it classic and tasteful she has always said. And that is coming from someone who is proper posh. You did ask OP so you do have to expect some differing of opinions whether you like them or not.

I like the sounds in Persephone but would never be brave enough to use it. That's a big name to pull off. I feel exactly the same way about Seraphina!
Titania and Ophelia - nickname problems.
Would any of these work
Miranda
Rosalind
Cressida
Emilia
Olivia
Viola
Juliet
Imogen
Helena
Octavia
Katherina
Juno

Ophelia and Persephone are well known enough, I would have thought. I like Ophelia.

Titania sounds too much like 'titanic' :)

People insisting children don't get teased for their names - well, yes, and no.

I have a very unusual name which I've grown to like. However, it does single me out to the point where I almost don't need a surname, everyone mistakes it for another similar name and it has been frequently met with outrage that I am not called Clare or Rebecca like every other girl born between 1980 and 1985.

It is interesting that I know someone's level of education on how they react to my name. Not necessarily in a sense of how many degrees they have but in a sense of exposure to the world.

It does mark you out as different, which can be uncomfortable. And I got absolutely crucified for my name at school.

She was a mythical princess first Hedgehog. :o

Alien plague robbed her.

Andromeda is a plague disease isn't it? At least is was in the film. Nasty alien plague that wipes out humanity if I remember correctly.

Ophelia - like it

Also Penelope

There was a girl at my DDs nursery called Ophelia, nn Fifi - was a great nickname I thought!

Reading this has made me feel more glad than ever that I live where I do. Yes, it's pretentious middle class London hipsterville but at least people don't get mocked for their names by the terminally dimwitted and narrow-minded at DD's school, be they Kai or Precious or Manon or Xanthe. We want to move out for various reasons but threads like this make me dread doing so (and that's with DD have a top 20 name). I'd be embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I lived somewhere where a Persephone would be 'ripped apart'. Though I appreciate not everyone has the choice. But some people are sounding like they think there's nothing wrong in this.

Ophelia is lovely

Andromeda sounds a bit science fiction to me. I know it's a classical name, but it just puts me in mind of spaceships.

I like ophelia but depends on the last name.

And Persephone.

I have one of the most common names of my generation but still got teased for it. If someone wants to tease you, they'll find a reason.

Is the P silent in Ptolomy?

Great names for moons

Seriously I actually like all of them, probably Persephone most, andromeda least.

Percy is not a nice nickname for a girl. It's bloody awful. Worse than calling her Persephone in fact

Have name changed as massively outing myself here.
I have an Ophelia. She is known by all as Effie. We wanted the nick name Effie but also a longer proper name so she could choose which to go by when she is older. DH didn't like Euphemia so we then worked backwards to find a name we like that Effie could be short for.
We have had no teasing about any names. I think there are so many unusual names that children don't tease these days. My mum is a primary school teacher and she hasn't come across name teasing. I have a slightly unusual name and never been teased (about my name!).

For my two penneth worth, I obviously love Ophelia and Persephone. Really dislike titiana, but again don't think would be teased.

Go with what you love. These threads are fabulous for insipriation, but don't take all the opinions too seriously. Some of my great friends don't like my daughters name and I don't like some of their children's names. Still love the people all just the same.

I'm in west Belfast, which is usually regarded as being rough as a badgers arse in most places.

Ranging, not raging.

Doh.

It's not naivety, it's just different experiences and expectations.

DS1 goes to a primary school located in the middle of quite a few council estates and his Christmas card list had a huge variety of names.

Raging from the simple, but lovely Jim to the 'posh' Theodora.

They're all nice, but I like Persephone and Andromeda best. Persephone is probably my favourite of the lot, and Percy is a really nice nickname for a girl.
