HelpRe: Rank These Greek Names In Order of Preference
in reply to a message by skinnyminnie
Interesting, what makes you say Nefeli/Nephele fits in with the current trend in terms of sound? Is it because of Persephone and Seraphina?
Replies
Yes, and even more popular names of Greek origin such as Penelope, Daphne, or Ophelia. Nephele could also possibly remind people of established names like Natalie or Emily. Probably there aren't any big literary or pop culture associations, so the name is unknown to those who might like it. But I was definitely surprised to see only 15 Nefeli's in the 2023 SSA complete data (Nephele did not rank at all). I expected there would be dozens or even hundreds.
Ah, that makes sense. That is surprising, especially that Nephele didn’t rank at all!
