I adore Philomena. In high school cross country there was a girl from another school named Philomena nn Mena (MEE-nuh). Her pace was similar to mine, so I always heard people cheering for Mena, and even while running I found it beyond cool. I really don't consider it old-fashioned at all. Sure, it was much more popular back in the day than it is now, but it's just plain cool. Anyway, some possibilities are Philomena Lilac (though I much prefer Lilac Philomena), Philomena Jean / Jane, Philomena Maeve, and Philomena Violet (though again, I prefer Violet Philomena).
