Does my vote count three times? lol.
Persephone is too long, too pretentious, and lends itself to the nn Percy, which is sort of charming on a boy, but on a girl just conjure "pursed lips" or purses.
Pilar is elegant and unusual (in usage, at least in the U.S., and in structure, since there are so few girls names that end in -ar/-r). The meaning is lovely (the pillar is a wonderful religious symbol). Pilar can be paired with almost any name--I really think it's one of the easiest names to use in a combo. It lends itself to the adorable nn Pili, or, alternatively, Lara.
In short, go for Pilar!
