I am a bit sold on Oenone despite what you all said

[hobbgoblin]

Which middle name though, and do you think it's a bit weird to have with older DD Hermione?

Middle names:

Kitty
Betsie
Mathilde
Mabel
Bellatrix

How do you pronounce it?

Ee-no-nee

Someone on my other thread has a cousin named this and it's pronounced A-no-nee I think.

I don't know how to pronounce it either.

not Bellatrix!

I think that is a bit too similar to Hermione, tbh. They'll get confused when they half hear you calling them from a distance, I think.

Are you a Harry Potter fan?

Not keen on it tbh.
Also, kind of rhymes with (the lovely) Hermione.

It does, doesn't it...ohhhhhhh!

Hermione despite never having read any JK in my life!

There is a Greek/Latin theme going on with the DC names so when considering Betsie and so on as first names it did jar a bit I think.

It was the Bellatrix in combo with Hermione that made me wonder!

There must be some other lovely Greek/Latin names, surely? Lydia? Octavia? Athene?

I really like Hermione. But Hermione and Oenone is silly imho.

If you want Greek how about Melissa? Daphne? Iris? Phoebe? Cassandra? Helen?

Sorry it's a blur of O's and N's to me

How do you say it? Hey-nonnie?

Ismene
Ianthe
Iris
Isadora
Callisto (spelt originally with a K, Latin with a C)
Cassandra
Lydia
Margarites
Phoebe
Sofia
Theodora
Xanthe

Kitty's nice on its own.

persephone.

also known as percy-phone.

She will spend her whole life spelling it/explaining how to pronounce it. As someone who has to do this daily with her surname, I can confirm that it's a bloody pain in the backside. Please don't do it to her!

oo-ee-non

thats how I saw it.

Well, after I clicked that it was actually a baby names thread and not someone asking about internet provider one&one.

Oh god no she'll get called Onion.

And it's far too similar to Hermione (which incidentally is much nicer).

How about Cassiopeia?

Is there a Bellatrix in H Potter then?

I knew someone would metion the onion thing! But it does sound nice, don't you think?

Bellatrix

i love it

would use ....

let me think

ruth
maud
hope
alexandra

Paula

Sod it, I'm going to use it!

good - lucky her!!!!

what do you think to my middle name suggestions?

I really like Maude and my eldest DD suggested Alexandra.

I quite like Ruth too but the Ruth I know was a seriously feisty Irish girl and it just makes me think of her too much!

I wish Bellatrix wasn't so HP associated.

how many dd's do you have hobgoblin?

Sorry, that was confusing. Eldest DC who is a DD I meant! I have one DD and then two DSs.
