I agree that four syllables is a lot to use in every single situation, and I probably shouldn't have insinuated that the OP is lazy. I imagine she is not a lazy person at all, but I interpreted her original post incorrectly. I am also annoyed for personal reasons. Even though I like Sephie as a nickname for Persephone, everyone seems to feel the need to tell me that they will NEVER call her Persephone because it is simply too long. Rawr.
