Oenone for a girl, Inigo for a boy

[PivotPivotPIVOT]

This is probably a pointless thread as is purely hypothetical, however I had a pregnancy scare in January and if I had been pregnant, it would have been due about now.

Still feel a bit wistful about it now.

ANYWAY I thought I would risk the MN baby name wrath and see what you would think of my choices

Girl
Oenone
Iris
Artemis
Ariadne
Hera

Boy
Inigo
Albert
Idris

What do you think?

sorry

Love, love, love Inigo! Know a man named Idris, never heard of Oeone :)

gwendoline it's pronounced eee-no-nee (the oe is pronounced the same as in Phoebe)

Laughing at onanism. It's not scoring highly - poor old Oenone.

This is a very self-indulgent thread so thanks for (a) giving me the time of day and (b) not taking the piss!

Inigo Montoya!! can't see past that now, will have to get the Princess Bride out of the back of the cupboard and watch it tonight!!

sorry but i don't really like any of the others except Ariadne. all seem a bit too try hard.

'Oenone is ee-no-nee'

but is it ee-no-nee or ee-know-nee? Because the first sounds like hey nonny nonny

eee-know-nee

ee nonny nonny

Iris, Artemis, Ariadne, Inigo. Fabulous names.

Inigo is on my shortlist for this baby. I'm using Iris as a middle name if we have a girl . Ariadne is on my shortlist for any future daughter.

THe n in Iñigo is, in fact a ñ.. so it sounds like the ni in onion.. sort of ny..

If anybody pronounces it Inigo, I promise I will die on purpose just to come back and haunt them.

Ariadne is my dd's name. I love it!

I like Oenone too, but I think it would be very difficult to grow up with in the UK, so unless you are planning on emigrating to Greece, it's probably best to think carefully about this one.

(sneaky way to call your daughter Wine, though!)

First thing I thought was 'how the hell doyou pronounce it', and once I knew the first hting I thought was 'hey nonny nonny', so it's a no from me. Not a fan of Hera either I'm afraid. I like Iris though.
I LOVE Inigo, Idris is nice but only if you have Welsh/African connections, Albert nice but popular

Great names.

Great namechange.
