Erinna was an ancient Greek poet whose work is largely lost, though a fragment of her long poem The Distaff exists. What do you think of her name? I'm pronouncing it roughly as "a-RIN-a," though the emphasis would have been on the first syllable in Ancient Greek.

Some combos:

Erinna Phoebe
Erinna Maude
Erinna Sophie
Erinna Zoe
Erinna Lucy
Erinna Emily
Erinna Daisy
Erinna Helen
Erinna Juliet
Erinna Ruby
Erinna Chloe
Erinna Lois
Erinna Violet
Erinna Blanche
Erinna Lilac
Erinna Sibyl
Erinna Mary
Erinna June

It's okay but I like Irene or Irina.

I remember coming across this name as a teenager and thinking it was so much prettier than plain ol' Erin. I loved that it's both ancient and modern at the same time.

I love a lot of your combos, the middle names you're using are right up my alley and they match the refreshing brisk airiness of Erinna perfectly.

Erinna June has amazing energy, I think that might be my favourite!

It's stuck between Irene and Irina and is not as nice as either one.
