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

Glad someone pointed out out you pronounce Persephone, its so pretty and much nicer than the way I was reading it in my head lol - gorgeous choice OP.

Out of all the suggestions I like Seraphina best, they go lovely together.

Oh heck, I knew that, it must be summer holiday brain!
I am so mortified that I have to name change or go and hide under a stone somewhere.

Persephone and Augusta

katydid02 - I have terrible memory apart from recalling very useless facts. Left the back door wide open the other night and then did it again last night!

Demeter
Antigone
Artemis

I love Hera, but DH vetoed it. I love Thea too.

However, I'm not keen on 'themed' names. Any name ill do, as long as there are no unfortunate connotations when said with the sibling's name.

What about:
Helen
Dinah
Noa (girl's version, though not generally used outside Israel I think)
Caroline
Celia
Daphne

(Can you tell I generally like short names?)

personally, I wouldn't go for Demeter - it's been a while since I read my Greek myths, but wasn't she Persephone's mother? Seems a bit odd to have mother-and-daughter sibling names.

Please go for Seraphina/Serafina - Serafina Pekkala rocks!

Clio

Calliope

Isis

Thalia

Artemis

Aphrodite

Sarasvati

Indirani

Gaia

Damaris

Aufanaie

Minerva

Taranis

Britannia

I win at this game, that classical education is finally useful

Everlong If I had know that DD would be born in October then she would have been Octavia. She was due in September and we had already picked her names.

Please tell me you called her Septima, Exit? I LOVE that name!

Noooo. She has a dull first name and an interesting middle name. I just liked Octavia but understood it was always intended for the 8th child

I also once read a book where the main character was called October and I thought it was the coolest of cool thing (I was about 9) and would really have liked to call DD that but didn't feel I could get away with it in the desolate and culturally deserted North West

Ophelia?

Heavens! It's like a Debs coming out ball on this thread.

I'll have you I acquired my classical education in that desolate cultural desert, Exit . Grin.

I have a classical first name (think Macedonian conqueror and English princess) but wish the parents had gone for something a bit more unusual. I've always fancied Jocasta or Ismene but can understand the objections!)

Vivienne is underused.

Hello
We're a bit late coming to this but would remind you all that while names are OBVIOUSLY subjective (mine has been listed here ) this is not fight club.

I hope it helps!

When I saw the title I immediately thought Seraphina!

Very late Olivia. Have you been busy on other stuff?

Olivia is a nice name...
