Which do you prefer?

Which name do you prefer?

Persephone Elise
Or
Persephone Alessandra.

I originally had Persephone Elise and Bethany Alessandra on my list, but I want to change Elise. DH wants to do Persephone Alessandra and find a new middle for Bethany. Thoughts? Oh and do you know any Middles that go well with either? I prefer long names by the way.

Persephone Elise. Just flows better IMO.

I've seen this name a couple times. How is it pronounced?

Per-seff-Uh-knee

That's not what I was thinking at all. Lol.

Haha most get it wrong.

I love the name Alessandra

good lord, that kid's gona have a hard time in life with a name no1 knows how to pronounce :-/

Persephone Alessandra is pretty, but not my taste.

As far as Elise goes, I don't really like the ending being an "e" and the next name starting with an "e"... it's a bit awkward.

What about-
Persephone Kate
Persephone Louisa
Persephone Margaret
Persephone Lucienne
Persephone Maren
Persephone Imogen
Persephone Lavinia
Persephone Clementine
Persephone Mirabel
Persephone Jane
Persephone Aster

eh,they will get use to it. I think the name is adorable with the right middle name.

Persephone is from Greek Mythology. She is the wife of Hades and the daughter of Demeter. I'm sure many, if not most would know it.
Oh and original poster I vote for Persephone Elise.

It's not that hard to pronounce. It's a pretty well known greek name.  

Quoting pilot Jess:" Persephone Alessandra is pretty, but not my taste. As far as Elise goes, I don't really like the ending ... [snip!] ... Persephone Maren Persephone Imogen Persephone Lavinia Persephone Clementine Persephone Mirabel Persephone Jane Persephone Aster"

I actually liked the sound of Louise. DH doesn't like "old lady" names though

I like longer names but Persephone Alessandra doesn't flow. Elise is great. Something short would be best behind Persephone. I think even flowing Elise with another middle name wouldn't be bad. Persephone Elise Alessandra doesn't sound too bad, imo you need that break after Persephone because it is a "mouthful".
