[Opinions] Re: Ismene?
I really dislike Ismene, myself. I prefer Antigone; while it looks like Anti-Gone, I think it has a beautiful sound, and I've always admired the character's determination to give her brother a proper burial. :) I'd consider Antigone--at least as a middle name--but never Ismene. Partly because I'm not a huge fan of her character.Array

Love your signature line, and a message.My dh and I were kicking around names one day, just for fun. I mentioned Antigone and he loved it right away. The role model aspect of the name was a big part of his love for it. (I love it too, but not enough to displace some other favorites.)
P.S. Russ Feingold and Bernie Sanders (I- VT) are my hope for the future. :-)

UghHave you ever seen it performed? Antigone is downright boring. She just keeps talking! Blah. Pig-headed and a blind follower, I'd say. I disagree with her uncle, but I mean, she's not admirable to me.Sorry. My two unwanted cents! :)PS - I like the name Antigone, too, though.

Have you ever seen it performed?Funny you should ask. I'm actually performing in it this semester! We're still doing rehearsals, though. It's a shortened version of Antigone in French. I'm the guard. :)And despite all her talking, I like her. Call me crazy, hehe. I always found Ismene really bland.Array

I was an Ismene understudy so maybe I'm partial. The guards are the best part of the show! I got to be the messenger, but ours was in English.
