Mnemosyne and Mneme
WDYTO Mnemosyne and Mneme? Which do you like more? How about Mneme as a NN for Mnemosyne? Mneme on its own? Any MN suggestions?I pronounce Mneme as NEH-mee.Eek, so many questions! Thank you in advance.

I like both. I waver between favouring Mnemosyne nn Mneme or Moz and preferring just plain Mneme, but both are gorgeous :) I love the meaning, too - sort of a virtue name, but well concealed.Mnemosyne Mai
Mnemosyne Alexandra
Mnemosyne Ruth
Mnemosyne Jean
Mnemosyne EleanorMneme Jeanette
Mneme Clarissa
Mneme Lux
Mneme Roxanne
Mneme Elizabeth
Mneme FayAny you like?

Mnemosyne Ruth is lovely. I also like Mneme Roxanne, but I'd probably turn it into Mneme Roxana. Thank you!

Mnemosyne looks sooooo pretty, but I just hate the pronunciation D: I wish dearly that it were NEM-oh-zeen, but I know that's a complete slaughtering of it.Mneme is great, and I love the meaning. She would have trouble in America, but then again, so would a child with a lot of my favourite names. You have no idea how joyous I'd be to meet either.Edited to add the spur-of-the-moment, totally and utterly Greek combo Mnemosyne Io.

I don't like them.They are difficult to pronounce, and not very pretty.

I love it! So much. I wish I had the guts to use it. Maybe I'd use just Mneme (I say it the same way as you, by the way), but I really love it as a nn for Mnemosyne.Combos are kind of hard but I'll try:
Mnemosyne Laura
Mnemosyne Petra
Mnemosyne Julie / Julia
Mnemosyne Jean
Mnemosyne Liv
Mnemosyne Marta
Mnemosyne Margaret
Mnemosyne Lila
Mnemosyne CyraNone of these are *really* popping out at me, but good luck to you! =)

Mnemosyne Liv pops out at me. Beautiful! Thanks.

Mneme definitely works as a NN for Mnemosyne. I like the prn, but when I look at both names I immediately think of the word mnemonic (which, from the meaning of Mnemosyne, I guess is related), which is not a very lyrical or name-like concept for me lol. I like Mneme more on its own, it's a bit less complex and doesn't look like a scientific procedure. It also reminds me of Naomi, which I like.
Mneme Cate
Mneme Claire
Mneme Lene (LAY-na)
Mneme Rosetta
Mneme Zara
Mneme Lenka
Mneme Aoife
Mneme Chloe
Mneme Alice
Mneme Sarah
Mneme Flynn (I know it's a boys' name, but I've always liked it for a girl)Anything you like?

I like Mneme Rosetta and Mneme Alice. Thanks!

They're names that I love the look of far more than the sound. D: Like they should be silvery-sounding fishies, and then they just aren't, when I say them. The same is true of Ariane.Speaking of fish, Mnemosyne Coral comes to mind. :D Mnemosyne Dahlia? Mnemosyne Kestrel, Mnemosyne Hana, Mnemosyne Lenore, Mnemosyne Livia, Mnemosyne Edith.Array

I also love the way they look, possibly more than how they sound. But then I'm a sucker for Greek female names ending in e.Mnemosyne Coral is very pretty. Mneme Coraline, perhaps? Hmm...
