Hecate (pronounced hek-ah-tee). In Greek mythology Hecate was a goddess associated with witchcraft, crossroads, tombs, demons and the underworld.

Bit of an unusual name but my partner really likes it and I think it sounds nice. What do you think?

If you hadn't noted the correct pronunciation I wouldn't have had a clue how to say it. I think, although it's a nice enough name, your little one would forever be referred to a hundred different ways and be constantly correcting people which could get frustrating for her x
