Persephone

[Mearabade]

My cousin just named her baby daughter 'Persephone'

What do you think. It's a bit out there. I know she wanted a long feminine and unusual name. I think it's nice but it's a bit long.

It's a bit of a mouthful. She's already calling her by the nickname 'Seph'.

Yeah, it's actually extremely unusual and I'm yet to actually meet a Persephone.

Persi

The parents do.

Persephone is also the name of an excellent publishing house specialising in women writers

I find Persephone a bit pretentious sounding, but I do love Sephy for short.

Poor child, sounds like something you play in a brass band.

Beautiful name

Lovely name

I would prefer Percy as a NN though

I like Seraphina, is that just as bad?

At least no one would have trouble pronouncing it

A lovely sister for Telephone

It's so pretentious. Does it actually exist outside of MN.

😂😂
From now on I will pronounce it tel-Eh-phon-ie. So much classier.

I really like it . NN Percy is great.

I think it's mildly popular, so not as wacky as it would have been. Percie is pretty awful but Sephie is fine,

I love it - my bf dd has the name - suits her perfectly.

Nn Persie.

I love it!

I don't think you will have any issues with pronunciation. Most people will know that no child would be called Percy-phone, and if you break down Per-seph-o-ne it's quite straight forward.

Well it rules out her ever moving to Finland where perse means arse. Hope she doesn't fall in love with a Finnish bloke. I mean there's not many of them so she's probably safe

It's beautiful!

Lovely name

How bloody rude! 😱

Thanks for the warning 😆

My daughter is friends with one who goes by Percy. Wouldn't use it myself but do like it.

Winston Churchill's wife was called Clementine. And then there's the song!

I think it's a pretty name but Persephone was such a tragic character - I would avoid it for that reason.
