HelpRe: Phillip, Berenice and Eos
in reply to a message by Rosa
I like your name choices, but you would really have to talk me into Eos. I would prefer her sister, Iris. I do love Greek mythology names. I plan to use one for a girl if I have another daughter.
I wasn't liking the name Berenice until I started reading the other people's comments. suddenly it reminded me of how I used to hate the name Beatrice, until I studied Dante's Inferno in college with an Italian professor. He always pronounced it "bee-uh-TREE-chay" and after a while I started to think the name is incredibly beautiful. It's amazing what a difference the pronunciation can make on a name.
BTW, I went to school with a girl named Io, also from a famous Greek myth. After getting familiar with the story, I really love the name because of what a strong character Io had to be to endure what she did and still survive in the end.
