Persephone is a beautiful name that flows off the tongue, which makes it attractive to people looking at names from mythology (and names in general). But I feel like this is almost the go-to name for people who want something from Greek mythology (Penelope has become common enough to shake the "Odyssey" legacy, I believe). In that light, it's kind of... stereotypical?As for combos, this is all I have off the top of my head:Persephone Annis
Persephone Annora
Persephone Clarisse
Persephone Heliodora (if you don't mind really long names)
Persephone Heron (yes, it's technically a "boy" name, but it's also a cool bird)
Persephone Larisa
Persephone Myrrine

Oh, cold, sad Persephone, dread and grim in her dark-walled home. Hmmm. It's hard for me to think of Persephone without preceding it with "The Rape of...", and despite reading the efforts of multiple authors to re-tell Persephone's story so that she comes out all badass and empowered, her myth remains a very negative assocation for me. Even if I ignore that, Persephone is too fussy for my tastes. I just really dislike it, all around, I guess. If I liked the mythical figure, I'd be more likely to opt for the simpler Korë or for Proserpine or Proserpina, both of which are fun to say. I like Ottilie quite a bit, though.

I love, love, love, love, LOVE Persephone. It is up there on my favorite lists. I'm horrible at making combos unless I'm at my laptop with my name documents open so I can't help right now :( But I do love Persephone. I can see sisters Ottilie and Persephone hanging out and making rhymes about how awesome they are.
