Pleione, oenone?

[hobbgoblin]

Bad/Good girl names?

erm

Bad.

eh?

Never heard of either. How do you pronounce?

Are we on Countdown? Can I have a consonant please, Carol?

I think you'd be always spelling them and correcting pronunciation. How do you pronounce Oenone btw?

Greek mythology.

And no, they're not my cup of tea...

Am lol mostest at Bucharest's riposte!

Oenone is pronounced eeeeenoneeeeeeeee
Pleione is playonay or playoni

Oh Oenone is on my list of Fantasy girls names. I love it. If you have a DP who won't go 'eh?' I would say definitely use it.

I haven't heard of either of them. Every time you told someone your name, they'd be saying "pardon?" and everytime it had to be written down you'd have to spell it.

Go with Grace .

Don't like Pleione though, conversly.

dp (exdp) is or, more 'wtf?' at the suggetsions, just asked him

Meredith, but is Welsh and if I was going to go for an alternative UK Country it would be Ireland due to paternal assoiations...

I'm reet stuck on this.

My cousin is Oenone so for us it is just another name. Short name Nonie is easier to spell and doesn't need so much explanation.

In Greek myth she is wine woman!

My cousin and others who had unusual names always eventually found someone else with their name!

Poppyknot, when I discovered that I thought 'great, just like her dad then!'

Which reminds me, I have a friend I am no longer in touch with sadly, who named her son Tomas Caffrey after his dad's favourite drink.

She will spend her entire life spelling her name to people, but if you really love it/them, go for it. Do you have Greek connections? Wasn't Oenone the nymph abandoned by Paris when he set off on the trail of Helen of Troy?

Maybe give her a more conventional second name to use if she decides in later life.

Bad. They look bad written down, they seem to sound bad when you say them.

People will call the Onie one Onion.

I know an Oenone, she's one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever known- her name is pronounced A- no-nee.

Because of her I adore it.

They sound beautiful when spoken but written down most people are going to struggle IMO.

Bad - you did ask

Seeing them written down looks like you dropped something on your keyboard.

Would you really like to be called Oenone?

I don't like either to be honest, but there are loads of irish names I love. Niamh, Sinead, Cara and Maeve being my favorite ones.

Not good. Sorry.
