Help[Opinions] Re: All possible nicknames for Persephone?
in reply to a message by 1066
I know what you mean. Um. I think I should elaborate a bit so you can understand where I'm coming from :D
Persephone to me seems like the name every person grabs for when they want something exotic and against the grain. It is long and elaborate and pronounced strangely, and has ties to greek mythology. It is like Anastasia for pretty pretty unusual names, and Amadeus for omg rly cool boy names. Princess names do not bother me, and I don't see P. as princessy at all. And and and. The reason I guess I object to Persephone is that it seems almost like a cowardly choice - it is all of those things, long and elaborate and fancy and impressive and rarely-used and cutting edge, but - idk, Persephone seems very apologetic. It is "pretty" and "awesome" to people you ask on the street. It has a lot of the same phonetic appeal as names like STEPH-anie and TIFF-any, but with the added twist of [all those things]. In this manner it is very impressive to people who are easily impressed. I know several girls whose parents "almost" named them Persephone but did not because, idk, it was too weird. Am I making sense?
Plus I just don't like TIFFany STEPHanie perSEPHone (X)F-anee sound, it is veeery irritating to me. But I understand that loads of people love it.
Anyhoo.
