Antigone?

[bonnibaby]

Just come across this for a girl-just out of interest what do you think?
Pronounced An-tig-oh-nee.

merielclaire most of us are friendly here honest - please don't be put off

I like how the name sounds but the spelling does say 'anty gon' to me, I can't help it.

...what did the OP end up with though?!

(I used to work in a backpackers and had a booking for an Antigone with an equally unusual sirname. Thought her first name was lovely so looked it up and was somewhat put off! The girl who turned up was quite exceptionally beautiful - so I think more of her when I hear it. Wonder how many people would think of the original?)

love it - but I read the book in my french A level. Strong, iconic name
