I love Penelope but it's too over the top for real life (and I hate "Penny"). Also like Eliza, which isn't ridiculous but sounded pretentious in the "yell it across a playground" test.

Perhaps better suited to pets than people, sigh....


I know a Persephone. It suits her beautifully.


I enjoy this name but worried a bit about nicknames. Like I worried if we used it, she'd get called Percy because Persephone is a mouthful and unfamiliar for a lot of people. Or just get called "P" at school or something. Does this happen to the Persephone you know? We are also considering Calliope and Penelope and are comfortable with the common nicknames for both (even though we will mostly use the full name). But Persephone is less common.


I adore the name Percy for a girl and I like Persephone so you have given me a lot to think about.

My favorite is Chrysanthemum after that children’s book about the girl who hates her name because it’s too long. Chrysanthemum Anastasia. I would never inflict that name on someone but I do love it.


I know a Persephone nn Percy. I think it's very cute, I actually like Percy better than Persephone
