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

Allegra, Ginevra, Juno, Hero.

You could shorten Serafina to Rafi.

No, Exit we're just not allowed to express an opinion. Sigh

Oh it would appear that you have a chip on your shoulder. It's all just opinions, if you like the name that you chose then it's all good. However calling people "peasants" for not agreeing with you totally shows what you are

Artemis? Pandora? (Perhaps not - you will panic every time she opens anything) Hestia? Rhea? Ida?

Our cats are called Hermione and Persephone but the latter proved to be a tomcat so now called Percy instead...

I see that Persephone is goddess of spring growth, so perhaps either something seasonally inspired, or another goddess name could be good choices ?

Zoe means life (and Greek based)
Chloe means blossom, but you may think they don't match the style ?

Callisto

You know Anastasia is the name of the girl in 50 shades of grey, right?

Well exit animal, it would seem that you can't take someone who has a different opinion to you, so that would make you a child. A name is a name. I don't like it, plenty do. So what?

I was thinking it was a bit too dare I say posh. But quite like some of the names here. Like Pandora, Cassandra and so on. I hope I'm not a peasant. Grin
