persephone or hermione????

[stickortwist]

I am well aware that both come high on the pretentious name scale. Middle name will be May after my granny. She'll have 3 older brothers.

I'm more concerned about " like in Harry potter" comments or being called "perse phone"

Which do you prefer and why?

I have a Persephone May. Therefore it rocks. She's always been Sephy though. The looks I get when it's called out in docs surgery or chemist are a bit hard to live with. On the other hand I had an amazing English teacher whose first name was hermione. I love them both.

I love both these names - both big faves when I was a kid (for my imaginary siblings ) along with Athene.

Sorry, I definitely think Hermione and HP are inextricably intertwined for a good few years yet, so unless you don't mind people assuming you called your DD after That Hermione, I'd go for Persephone.

I also loved the name Adeline fwiw...

Persephone sounds like a disease.

I like Hermione though.

I love Persephone, it was my name of choice for PFB, now DS. DH vetoed it though.
Percy for short. Like in Upstairs Downstairs.

We named our Daughter Persephonie (altered spelling slightly to help with pronunciation, her nn is Sephie.

Love it, have never met another one so far :o)

I love Hermione.

Also like Persephone but hate the meaning.

Same with Antigone.

Hermione is a relation of mine I'm so sorry she gets called Ermine

Well I had a scan today and hermione/ persephone has a penis so back to the drawing board.
This is definitely last baby so I'm destined to be a mum to boys only! But thanks to everyone's ideas I think we'd have used herminone :)

Persephone definately!

I love Persephone (my favourite Greek myth) and if DS had been DD, she would have been called Persephone.

Ah, well boys are fab. What will you call him?
