Re: Philomela
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I think Philomela is a darling name, and while the mythical story is rather grisly, I like the fact the mythical heroine was turned into a nightingale. Since Pip can be a nickname for Philip, would it be a stretch if it could be short for Philomela? From the ones you listed, my favourite combos are:
Philomela Clare
Philomela Daphne
Philomela Hazel
Philomela Helen
Philomela Rachel
Philomela Sophie
Philomela Clare
Philomela Daphne
Philomela Hazel
Philomela Helen
Philomela Rachel
Philomela Sophie
