1.Which of these is best?
- Leilah Hope - Though if it's pronounced LEE-luh, then I'd spell it Leela or something, otherwise people will say LAY-luh.

---

2.How would you pronounce Poesy?
- POE-see, as in a small bunch of flowers.

---

3. What is your favorite spelling of a name pronounced Poe-see?
- Posy and I LOVE it for a name, but DH doesn't share my enthusiasm!!

Leilah Hope, although I can pretty much guarantee that 90% of people will pronounce it Layla, and that would be bothersome. I like Leela better, for that reason.

---

I pronounce it PO-zee. I like Posie or Posy, no preference really between the two.

1.Which of these is best?

---

Persephone Hope
Leilah Hope would be my first choice, but not with that pronunciation (lei does not a lee in my brain make, lol). Either go with Lilah or Layla/ Leila.

---

2.How would you pronounce Poesy?
Like poetry with s instead of tr.

---

3. What is your favorite spelling of a name pronounced Poe-see?
Poesy or Poesie.

Probably Jessalind Hope or Leilah Hope, Leaning toward Jessalind,
2. i would pronounce it Po-zee
3, Posey, or Posie, or posy,

1. Leilah Hope
2. Po-zee.
3. I don't like the name at all because it's cutesy and contrived, so can't pick a spelling.

1. Persephone Hope
I think Leilah would get pronounced like lay- a lot, and I think Leilah is a quite bad spelling as well
Jessalind doesn't look or sound as a name at all

---

2. Somewhat like poetry

---

3. Poesie, Poesey ? No idea really

1. Persephone Hope
2. poe-zee
3. Poesy

Persephone Hope is my favourite, it flows really nicely and I love the name Persephone.
Leilah and Jessalind aren't really my style, although I do love Jessamine.

---

I would pronounce Poesy PO-zee, like Posy. I would spell it Posy, it's the most intuitive with the pronunciatino.

Most definitely Persephone Hope.

---

I never understood people spelling Leila(h) and having it be pronounced Lee. Unnecessarily difficult.

---

Poesy would probably end up as po-zee

---

Posey or Posie I guess but honestly I think they're all really ugly.

Knowing your family names, I'd definitely say Jessalind Hope. Not knowing them, I'd say Persephone Hope, with the side note that I can't think of nay nicknames for it that I'd like.

---

Persephone Hope
Leilah Hope (I'd instinctively say LIE-lah to this one)
Jessalind Hope

---

2.How would you pronounce Poesy?

---

with 3 syllables, so pretty much 'poetry' with an s instead of tr

---

3. What is your favorite spelling of a name pronounced Poe-see?

---

Posey would be best I think (Posie would work too, but looks like a misspelling of Rosie to me)
