Persephonie

[SmallOrangeGiraffe]

What do you guys think, for our daughter?

Per-seph-o-nie

It's from Greek mythology & is commonly spelt Persephone - but a lot of people tend to pronounce it wrong if they've never heard it before.

Forgot to add nn Sephie

I like it, but only if you spell it correctly.

Spell it correctly.

I don't know anybody who can't pronounce it. And it will make you look like you can't spell.

And the people regularly in her life will only need to be told once.

Persephone is a lovely name.

I know a little girl with this name, i think its really pretty.

I think Lynda Snell in the Archers has a goat called Persephone.

Lovely, but for Gods sake spell it correctly or you will look like a poorly educated fool.

Lovely, always been one I fancied. Spell it properly tho, please.

I like only the original spelling.

Great name - sadly DH didn't agree.

Taught a lovely Persephone whose nickname was persie. Definitely spell it the right way - if anyone gets the pronunciation wrong you can just correct them (I'm sure they won't get it wrong much anyway). That way you get to be the one in the right which is far more satisfying than always being told you've spelt it wrong!

Definitely lose the "i"!!

Not a bad name, though.

Ok, but spell it properly or you're heading for Jorja territory.

Lovely name but can you cope with telling everyone how to pronounce it?! It's bad enough having a surname most people can't seem to pronounce correctly.

My DSis recently called her 4wo Hermione, and is already fed up of my mum pronouncing it Her-mar-ne!

I like it, but please please ditch the 'i'.

I was going to say... 'do you know you're spelling it wrong?' but people have beaten me to it... Lose the i and then actually I quite like it!

Think it's beautiful and nickname Sephie lovely too. Agree with others about spelling.

Really nice name. Agreed, though, use the original spelling.

love it and nn percy but was put of by it's meaning which i think is bringer of death .

persephone , i think , was the greek goddess of spring daughter of zeus who was carried to the underworld by hades and after eating 6 pomegrante seeds was destined to spend 6 months there thus bringing winter .

What smilingserenely said.

There is no way DH would have allowed it, his ponceometer would have exploded.

suwoo my dh also has a very active ponceometer and nearly killed himself laughing when i mentioned it.

but percy as a nn is very cute

Spelling it incorrectly doesn't help dimwits, it just makes you look like one of them.

Lovely name though.

Love it, but you have to spell it correctly. Beautiful name though!

Spelt correctly I really like it. DH liked it too but was put off by its meaning.

Spelt with an "i" I hate it.

I don't like the name especially the correct spelling but I love the nickname Sephie!

I like the name. But as others say, please spell it correctly :)
