Nickname Perci. For a girl, what do you think?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

StiggyZardust · 13/01/2024 17:18

I love it! Also like Calliope and Seraphina.

It’s blown my mind that pp don’t know how to pronounce Persephone. I like perci as well

Only on MN 😂

The thing to remember though is it is a name she will never use or be called. So whatever nickname you chose is basically the name you’re giving her,

as such, do you really wish to name your daughter Percy ? I would not.

Not true!^

ADHDASCBAMEWoman · 13/01/2024 17:10

I know someone with this name. Suits her. If you're superstitious it's a heavy storyline is the only thing!

My children and I have Greek mythology names also, very unusual ones. Before anyone says it as they do on these threads, never been bullied and never had issues with employment lol

It's a lovely name - the two Persephones I've met (different ages) are known as Sephy and Persey.

AnotherCountryMummy · 13/01/2024 16:39

Absolutely LOVE

Strokethefurrywall · 13/01/2024 16:27

I know a 12 year old Persephone (nn Perci) - not in Uk.

It's a cracking name, and Perci or Seph as nn are great!

Wictc · 13/01/2024 16:26

One of my good friends is called Persephone, but everyone calls her Fanny. I like the name and the nickname.

whosaidtha · 13/01/2024 16:15

My husband wanted this and I vetoed it. I liked Percy but Persephone was too posh for me. It's becoming popular though. I know 3 under 5.

WilloTheWispy · 13/01/2024 16:15

Love it, and Percy as a nn.

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 13/01/2024 16:14

Love it.

And ignore those that say you have to have an easy to say name. I have a long, unusual name and it's not a problem at all. It makes me memorable!

AyeRightYeAre · 13/01/2024 16:12

Too much although quite like Perci

Why on earth would you do this to a child?
Please don’t or a future of ‘Purse-phone’ awaits her.
That’s before you get into the being kidnapped and forced to marry the god of the underworld.
Sophie is nice. Penny. Please pick something people can say easily.

Cmon now, Persephone is a very well known name.

Love it and love Perci, Effie, Sephy, Sophie as shortenings

Effie is nice, too. This wasn't just a 'made-up' name for The Hunger Games either; I've read a few early-20th century books in which the protagonists had this name.

There was a little-known Irish author called Frances Elizabeth who was known as 'Effie' because of her initials.

Nestofwalnuts · 13/01/2024 15:58

I like it. And I love Perci as a nn. Also love Sephie.

I'd pronounce it Per-SEFF-o-nee with the o half way between uh and o in 'on'

SwordToFlamethrower · 13/01/2024 15:53

Stunning!

Sandysandwich · 13/01/2024 15:50

Personally I find it too long and a mouthful. I can't imagine having to introduce myself as Persephone, it just feels a bit pretentious

Mynewnameis · 13/01/2024 15:44

I don't think enough people would know how to pernounce it for me to consider it. I only found out a few years ago when I met a child with the name. She was shouting at other kids who couldn't say it.

WilhelminaBunter · 13/01/2024 15:42

Love it and love Perci, Effie, Sephy, Sophie as shortenings

Katypp · 13/01/2024 15:40

Greek names seem to be the next big thing for names so there may be many more Persephones around the corner.
Far too pretentious and try hard for me. Plus the added irritation of a preordained 'nick name'
Not for me

RosaSkyes · 13/01/2024 15:37

I love it with Sephie of even just Phi as a nn.
Don’t love Perci and I wouldn’t want to be one!

love the complete name though

Nineteendays · 13/01/2024 15:35

Now I know how you pronounce it, it does sound pretty. Agree Sephi is better than Percy though
