Eponine

It’s a lovely name and I am a huge fan of Les Mis. I would not; however, give the name to a child. It’s too associated with the book/musical.

I really WANT to like this name, because of the character from Les Mis, but I just can't seem to come around to it. It reminds me of medicine, maybe an Epi Pen? And the nickname Ponine reminds me of poutine, the Canadian dish, and I don't like the nickname Nina at all, honestly. I wish I liked it more!

I find it lovely.

This is a wonderful name, but I wouldn’t use it for fear of the nicknames. Nina isn't so bad, but in the musical the character is called "Ponine" and it’s a short step from that to Panini.

Such a beautiful name.

This name is pretty, especially while I'm reading or watching _Les _Miserables, but I can't really consider it a favorite until I find better nicknames for it than Eppie, Ponine, and Nina. "Heroine" is an amazing meaning, though.

I like the character, but giving this name to your daughter does not sound like a good idea when one considers the character's tragic story. Eponine's life begins reasonably comfortable, but by adolescence she and her family have lost their inn and are reduced to begging and a life of crime in the streets of Paris. In addition, Eponine is in love with a young nobleman, Marius Pontmercy, who hardly even acknowledges her and is in love with Cosette, whom Eponine and her family cruelly mistreated as a girl and has since blossomed into a beautiful, well-bred young woman. Eponine is tattered from life on the street and Marius only gives her serious notice when she ends up sacrificing her life for him.

Such a cute name! I love to pronounce it. Plus, Eponine is my favourite character in Les Misérables. I would name my daughter like this :)

I simply ADORE this name! Eponine is so beautiful and feminine. It flows so nicely. Eponine also happens to be my favorite character from Les Miserables.

This name sounds beautiful and has a nice history around it. If I ever have a daughter I will name her this because Eponine is one of my all time favorite characters and a great role model for women and young girls. This would do as either a middle name or a first name.

This is one of my absolute favorite names. I think it sounds beautiful. :) This is also my favorite character from "Les Miserables".
