Is it a bit pretentious? Would the Greek mythology put you off?

Expecting DD2 soon and DH likes Persephone but Im worried it’s got negative connotations. DD1 is Eleanor

Yes, pretentious imo.No, it's not the mythology putting me off. I love Eleanor and think Persephone is horrible compared to such a pretty name.Sorry.

I met an adult Persephone recently; she goes by Seph which I think is lovely. I saw her name on a meeting invitation before I met her and the mythological background didn't spring to mind.

It's so lovely, some people will struggle with how to say it to start with though.

Be prepared for it to be pronounced Percy-phone...

I vaguely know an adult one but everyone knows them as Percy.

I love it. But because of a book I read as a teenager called noughts and crosses
