re: Persephone

Purse phone? ...

Quoting Dr. Paradigm Shift:" Haaaaa! That is hilarious."

My neighbor calls me On-dray-ah and I corrected her a dozen times, but she still does it, and when she introduces me to people she uses that pronunciation, so now all her friends use it, too. I gave up.

I love Persephone! I think it's beautiful and sophisticated. What about Penelope as an alternative?

No

I like Penelope...I just don't want to be told I copied kourtney k on her daughters name. Because I KNOW people will think that.

I barely bother correcting people anymore, or just go by Drea. I actually dread telling people my name because they never get it right anyway. Just give me whatever name you think I look like, people.

Blah - screw her. I like a few names celebrities have used, I wouldn't let it stop you. Besides, it HAS jumped up the popularity list quite a bit the past year or so, so it's not like Penelope K is the only baby Penelope out there right now. It's on our potential short list, too.

Ahh!! Now that I know how it's pronounced it's a beautiful name!!!!

If it were anything the way I was reading it, it would've been a no go lol

I love Andrea pronounced the way you do! If it makes you feel better, I would remember lol. I'm Cassandra - kah-sand-ra, not kah-sahn-dra and people never get it right. Whats worse is I go by Cassie most of the time and people always call me Casey, Cassidy.....my own grandfather called me freakin Katie lol.

That's how I feel, I hate that celebs make cool names "hot" I woul coinsider it if kk's kid didn't have that name. I feel it'll be played out

Ha ha ha! My grandpa calls me On-dree-uh. Like, a weird hybrid. My mom is all, "I should have spelled in Ondraya." Cause THAT's a winner. LMAO.

I just suggested Penelope to DH and he asked what would her nick name be, pene? Lmfao pene in Spanish means Penis...I swear its like he wants our kid to have no name...

O_O Yeah, Ondraya is super classy, lol! And guess what...people would probably still call you an-dree-ah.

No they wouldn't, because I would have changed that shizz the moment I turned 18, ha ha.
