EverythingEverywhere1234 · 28/06/2017 15:17

Persephone, although I like both tbh

Persephone-Celeste-Mae

butteriesplease · 28/06/2017 15:20

Neither really. No one will be able to spell Persephone or pronounce it probably. Celeste is ok.

Celestine?

joannegrady90 · 28/06/2017 15:23

Celeste reminds me of the contraceptive pill 😕

Persephone really awful sorry 😕.

Any other ideas?

Celeste

Celeste

Out of those two Celeste

Only because you will spend the next 18 years getting annoyed at incorrect spelling and pronunciation of Persephone

cece · 28/06/2017 15:27

I love Persephone but you will have a life time of telling people how to spell/say it.

Aedie4 · 28/06/2017 15:29

I was going to say Celeste but now someone has mentioned the contraceptive pill I think Persephone nn Seffy/Saffy/Effie x

Kazzawazza69 · 28/06/2017 15:32

Celeste

nuggetofchicken · 28/06/2017 15:33

I hate Celeste.

How do you say the other one? I'm stupid.

Lilmy3 · 28/06/2017 15:34

Nugget, it's per-seff-oh-nee like Stephanie

Mrsknackered · 28/06/2017 15:35

I really, really detest Celeste.
I didn't mean to rhyme

I like Persephone. The NN's percy and seffy are good too.

greendale17 · 28/06/2017 15:38

Neither but if I had to choose- Celeste

BertrandRussell · 28/06/2017 15:39

Sorry- they are both awful.

LemonBreeland · 28/06/2017 15:40

Persephone

WanderingTrolley1 · 28/06/2017 15:40

Both awful. Don't saddle your child with either.

BertrandRussell · 28/06/2017 15:43

Just imagine yourself at various stages in your life introducing yourself as either. Imagine yourself not being the glorious willowy creature we all wish our daughters to be, but a bit dumpy and spotty and shy introducing yourself as Persephone. Imagine yourself as a 6ft rugby playing Celeste.

Persephone
