barbiecollector I thought that was how you did pronounce Persephone - I wondered how most people would pronounce it incorrectly.

Per-SEFF-oh-nee = normal English pronunciation

Per-seh-FON-ee = normal Greek pronunciation

Per SEFF o nee

I really like Persephone books so shudder at how many times I have talked about them and pronounced them wrongly. First world problems eh!

strange that I don't consider it to be a beautiful name

I am 6 weeks pg with DC2 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Seraphina if I have another DD but I feel it will make DD1's 2 syllable name seem boring in comparison so I am going to use it as her middle name if I have another DD.

Both DD's names have been mentioned

I would like Ottilie for a potential DD3.

DH liked Aurelie, until I pointed out horrible school girls boys would call her Orally Grin

My favourite unused-but-would-use name is Lily.

My favourite love-but-would-never-use name is India.

My favourite loved-it-so-we-used-it name is Poppy (not popular on MN I know).

I also love Natalie, Saskia, Seren, Serena, Bethan & Lucy.
