Greek!

Oenone (ēnō'nē) [key], in Greek mythology, nymph skilled in the art of healing. Paris loved her but later deserted her for Helen. Oenone, in revenge, sent their son, Corythus, to guide the Greeks to Troy. When Paris lay mortally wounded, he asked her to heal him but she refused.

Oh I love that! I've never heard it before (I mean Oenone)
Congratulations

Penthesileia · 03/08/2009 23:12

SlartyBartFast · 03/08/2009 23:13

hobbgoblin · 03/08/2009 23:19

well she is a bit tragic but she's a nymph, she likes her wine so has redeeming qualities

Ooooohhh, I love it! Huge congratulations.

alexpolismum · 04/08/2009 11:15

Ooh, what a lovely name! Can I steal it and put it on my shortlist? I live in Greece and I've never heard it used over here and I'd like something unusual if dc3 is a girl (my dd is Ariadne).

hobbgoblin · 04/08/2009 11:34

Sure, steal away!

Ariadne is beautiful too!

Excellent! I'm secretly pleased you went for Oenone because I love it

Kingsroadie · 05/08/2009 16:12

Lovely name - am a baby name thread lurker usually - this one caught my interest. I am a big fan of greek names and we're considering several for our baby girl (not due for a good few months yet though so have some time!)
