Iphigeneia (if-ih-jeh-NAY-ah)
WDYT? And do you prefer this or Zéphyrine?

I love the Iphigeneia, but I prefer the Greek pronunciation. I prefer it to Zéphyrine, but I like both.

Absolutely not. Iphigenia at Aulis was enough to set me off the name. Who wants to share the name of someone known for being killed (sacrificed) by her father (who was then killed by her mother, who was then killed by Iphigenia's little brother)? Zephyrine is much better than that.

Ick. Honestly, I think it looks like a disease. Definitely prefer Zéphyrine.

Personally, I think it's a bit odd and a little too hard to pronounce. I definitely prefer Zephyrine. It sounds a lot prettier and more feminine, plus it's easier to pronounce.

I think it's pretty good. The mythology's not that great, though. I prefer Zéphyrine.

I think it sounds awful, and I don't like the myth behind it. Very creepy.Zephyrine isn't any better, I'm afraid. I never cared for that name.

It's alright, but it makes me think of Euphegenia and Mrs. Doubtfire. I would prefer it to Zephyrine, though.
