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 did. That's the point. It's my opinion. Just like you have yours. Don't understand why it upset you so much but then again I'm a peasant...

ExitPursuedByABear · 11/08/2013 22:43

I'm not upset Hayleynumber.

Hayleyh34 · 11/08/2013 22:44

Suppose i should add that I'm a peasant who has an old Etonian for a husband and went to Heathfield school myself. But apparently I have a chip on my shoulder Hmm

Hayleyh34 · 11/08/2013 22:44

That's why I would never call you a Chav

Me. I'm the one who said I thought it was posh. So blame me if anyone!

Hayleyh34 · 11/08/2013 22:45

I would go for Andromeda. Lovely name, and could be Andie for short if you wanted.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 11/08/2013 22:49

Anyone see "Saturday kitchen - best bites" this morning where Keith Floyd told the lady in whose home he was cooking that she was a peasant for flipping her omelette - better to leave it un-flipped apparently !

dd thought that was a little rude of him since he was her guest

ExitPursuedByABear · 11/08/2013 22:51

You've lost me Haleymumber

OP. Apologies that your thread has been hijacked by this bizarre conversation. I love classical names and hope you find one you are happy with.

formicadinosaur · 11/08/2013 22:52

Celeste or Cecily

Andromeda

Cressida

As for people boasting about what school they went to - or what school their husbands went to - blimey. If it's not St Pauls love, don't bother. Hmm

MrsOakenshield · 11/08/2013 22:57

I think Seraphina is lovely and goes well with Persephone. Does it have to be shortened?
