I know how
Antigone is pronounced, but I always just want to say "anti-gon", as it is spelled phonetically. This puts me off somewhat.
I definitely prefer
Hermione. Thanks to
Harry Potter, everyone knows how to spell and pronounce it and, while remaining unusual, it is much more useable in real life than
Antigone.
Persephone,
Cordelia and
Isadora are all beautiful and preferable to
Antigone in my opinion.
