A sister for Persephone

[SmallOrangeGiraffe]

Not coming up with names with agree on, and Persephone is a hard name to top!

So far we've got Serafina (altho not liking the nn of Sera/Sarah) and Anastasia.

Any other suggestions welcome

I know it's not been an official suggestion but an author mentioned on this thread but I'm really beginning to like Malorie (Blackman)

I'm a complete pleb though so it's probably a blokes name.

wow - really long thread with some 'interesting' diversions.

OP - I know of a little Anastasia with the NN Tasie, Sephie and Tasie would be fine to shout in the park (PP's holler test) and Persephone and Anastasia go together really well.

My other suggestion, which I think was mentioned ages ago but may have been missed in the confusion is Hermione (although you would then have 2 DD's with potentially mispronounced names, if that would bother you)

Clementine
Allegra

Malerie's quite nice, granny-chic - will test out the suggestions and others on DH - I have a feeling its a no, lol!

I didn't actually say it was a stupid name!

Just "unusual" !

Serafina can be shortened to Sefa, which is lovely.

Hmm, I guess I posted that without reading much of the thread then... As you were.

Persephone and Stephanie

You could shorten the (beautiful) Seraphina to Fee?

How about
Aneira (An eye raa)
Aura
Adriana

I seem to be liking names beginning with A!

Or Angelina?

We already have a Persephone (Sephie) and an Ophelia (Fifi). Our next bubba will be Isolde (Issy) or Aloysius if he's a boy.

And I live in a council flat.

I would stay away from all names that would be shortened to something with ss/ff sounds that would be too similar to your dd's nickname. May i suggest?

Valentina

Evangeline

Magdelena

Angelina

Nicknames: nina, Lina, vina, eva, Evie

Cornelia (Roman)
Celia
Cecelia
Delia
Laetitia
Laurencia

Gertrude

Don't take it personally, OP, not easy I know. They're just commenting on the name, they don't know you or your daughter.

I didn't see this thread before I posted mine (asking for opinions on Persephone). But I'd put an Octavia as a sibling or an Isadora.

What are reactions to the name in real life, Smallorange? And do you constantly have to spell it for people?

Love Isadora.

They're commenting on themselves and their own insecurity.

Excellent. Take the moral high ground by calling someone names

Wow what a load of bollocks on this thread!

I was going to say Angelina too.

Holler test: 'Seff! Ange!' Perfect.

ps if your husband went to Eton and isn't PM or MoL, he failed.

I really want an Ophelia. I hope it isn't number one in the charts by the time I end up getting up duffed.

Ariadne

Anastasia

Cordelia
