But it’s not Greek, it’s Ancient Greek, i.e. it’s European. Like xylophone.
Or telephone for that matter.

Persephone is not at all like xylophone or telephone, both of which were coined in the 19th century to name inventions.

If it’s like anything, it’s like Ariadne and Penelope, being a name from Ancient Greek mythology. And nobody puts on a Greek accent to say those names.

It's not hard to pronounce Per-seph-on-ee. You're just not used to it.

It’s not hard for me, I’m 38 😂 it’s different for toddlers though isn’t it. I’m saying it sounds nice in a greek accent if it’s a greek name, lots of words do sound a lot better in a foreign accent!

Rosanna. Rosa for short.

I was assuming that one was a joke, like twins Brenda and Bertha.

I really hope it’s a joke!

Maybe she'll be a showgirl.

See in a Greek accent I’m sure it sounds a lot different and rolls off the tongue

i suppose the parents don’t care that they've named their daughter after a body part.

a·re·o·la
/əˈrēələ/
noun
ANATOMY
a small circular area, in particular the ring of pigmented skin surrounding a nipple._

I mean I'm not saying girls should only be called pretty names.
But Boden?!
All anyone will think of is the clothing company.

Show quote history

I always thought it was a terrible name but I grew up with a girl called Brogan (80s/90s), it has the same 'vibe'.

housethatbuiltme · 12/08/2025 18:22

Most recent one I know was probably Matilda (Tillie) born 3 months ago.
