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

[TobyLerone]

Ok. Whatever. But you're massively overreacting. It's not 'venom'. It's stupid people being stupid. They're everywhere.

You need to report your thread and ask MNHQ to delete it. I'm not sure they just delete every thread they're asked to, especially where there aren't personal attacks or anything, but you can ask.

[TobyLerone]

Sorry? Where have I been rude? I said it was a lovely name and one we were considering!

To be fair, Peresphone is a stupid name.

[gillywillywoo]

Actually OP, I think Toby was making a bit of fun of another poster (nurseneedshelp) when she said "peresphone" is a stupid name.. Because the other poster spelt it wrong and Toby was making light of that!!!!

[Somethingyesterday]

OP Look carefully at what Toby actually wrote. She was mocking the wrong spelling of another poster. Not your Dd's actual name. I had to read it twice myself

[TobyLerone]

Calm down. Read it again.

I was taking the piss out of the person who spelt the name wrong (nurse whatever -- can't be arsed to go back a page.)

Perhaps being slightly irrationally ragey made you miss the deliberate misspelling. Or temporarily stole your sense of humour. It happens.

How ironic that I am the only one who is having actual personal attacks thrown their way :o

[SmallOrangeGiraffe]

Ok well if thats the case I've obv. missed it and I apologies to Toby

[gillywillywoo]

Exactly OP. I think you need to read the posts before you have a go at Toby.

Nurseneedshelp misspelt Persephone as "peresphone" and Toby was saying "yes, PERESPHONE IS stupid".

[TobyLerone]

X-posted. Thanks :)

I'm totally late to this but I can't stop thinking H names for some reason!

Hero
Helena
Hermione
Honour

Would all be beautiful with Persephone

[gillywillywoo]

Ps HELLO TOBY!!!
Hope you're well. See how I came to your rescue? LOL.

[TobyLerone]

Petrova is lovely from ballet shoes

[EldritchCleavage]

Oh, ignore the wind-up faction, OP, best way to annoy them.

What about:

Dahlia
Berenice
Araminta
Jacinta

[NationMcKinley]

I know it's not 4 syllables, but how about Dido? Please come back and let us know what names you like!

[ExitPursuedByABear]

I love Helena. So elegant.

I had missed Toby's irony as well.

[thesaurusgirl]

I've thought of another few, some not quite on your deity theme, but still from the Latin/Greek/Sanskrit/Arabic:

Auriole

Caecilia

Andromeda

Suriya (or Soraya)

Arjuna

Krishana

[thesaurusgirl]

And to digress slightly, I'm amazed that there is a Mumsnet poster called Aufaniaie (sp?)

In which case, I also offer Nehellenia and Germania.

[thesaurusgirl]

Some more that popped into my head (I need to get a life):

Raphaella

Thomasina

Aphra

Sarita

Leonora

Serena

Lavinia

Juliana

Theodora

Zuleika

Jacinta

Artemisia (TWO feminist icons in one name)

Christobel

I think that because you've used the (gorgeous) nickname Sephie for your DD that Serafina is probably not useable this time. Instead, how about -

Saskia
Maya
Louisa
Thea
Katerina
Delilah/Lilah
Christina
Alyssa
Marina
Mireille
Alexa
Cassia
Serena
Thalia
Juliet
Naomi
