Persephone, ophelia,Titania or Andromeda

[NeedsAsockamnesty]

Just musing but which one do you prefer.

Persephone
ophelia
Titania
Andromeda

Sorry don't mean to be an arse. I just feel quite strongly about that name being odd

I liked Ophelia...

Till dh said I'd Ophelia your bush

Didn't like it so much after that

I love Persephone but don't think DH would let me get away with it. Also, most of you seem to be suggesting the nickname sephy which wouldn't work for us as we have DS Seth! Just pondering now, do some people not use Posy as a shortening of Persephone?

God lord, no!!!

What is it with this site and insanely poncey named?!

I think they are all as bad as each other and wouldn't choose any.
It depends on what sort of school they'll attend and what class you are.
Maybe names like this are good if you are mc, upper class and attend private schools.
I always ask myself what nn their friends will use and if the name is in keeping with their environment.

I have a Persephone nn Sephy and we have not had any of the issues mentioned above. No Percy-phone, no teasing. We love it!
Love Ophelia too- it was on our list!

Persephone - awful have you got your purse/phone

ophelia - awful I'll feel ya

Titania - awful titanium

Andromed - awful

Tatiana would be a kinder alternative to Titania aka Titty (accompanied by teenage boy sniggering)

They all sound ugly and harsh to me. Don't know why tbh but just not to my taste

OP is being a GF.

Awful names. Please do not inflict any of these on the poor child. May I ask where you are from?

What's a GF?

Out of them all I like Persephone the best.

Thehomesecretary, Sephy as a nickname is lovely.

Goady fucker, Boogers.

Sorry, genuinely did not know that! Sorry!

No, all dreadful. If you want to go shakespeare, Juliet is gorgeous and knocks crusty spots off the names on your list. Sorry.

Don't be sorry! :o

It could have meant anything. Grapefruit, Garden furniture, Greek first names.

I actually quite some of the potential nn's from these names (except Titania which is just asking for mockery.)

Persephone- Seph/Sephy
Ophelia-- Phe or Lia
Andromeda- Andi- I love the name Andi but never found a full name for it that I like

I love Persephone, it's a great name! I like Opheila too. All the comments made you get with Amelia too and there are loads of Amelia's who seem to fare ok!

OP are you posh, common or in the middle?
Posh = Aristo
Common = Fish wife
Middle = Normal professional working people who like to think they are posh, but they are not
Im guessing its middle

Have you considered Empress, OP?

Persephone is nice.

I also like Antigone.

Why are people going on about class?

I'm sure the OP doesn't give a shite about that.

A normal, polite person wouldn't make that sort of judgement.

Not Titania, the rest are fine.

I'd go for Ophelia prob.

But lots of other great Shakespeare names and great Greek and Roman ones.

Atalanta
Lucretia
Eurydice
Beatrice
Perdita
Hermione
Imogen
Innogen
Rosalind
Celia
Viola
Portia
Nerissa

Can't help humming "you shoot me down, but I won't fall, I am TITANIA"
