Haha, this reminds me of a friend of mine in high school.
Wasn’t that a Wishbone Ash song? I think it’s cool but that’s not my name!
The article barely mentions this fact, but I’d like to point out that 28 years ago the name wasn’t a thing.
Lovely back story on Persephone.
Her dad, Zeus, raped her, then she married the Devil in the Underworld...
Why is the same sentence repeated?
How can she be ‘anonymous’ when the whole story is about her name?
Plus this savvy mum-of-seven used a bunk bed hack to fit six of her kids into ONE room.
I predict she will go with Sephamika or perhaps Roshonaseph.
It’s a pretty name but not the story.
My wife and I named our first son "Emerson". (I always loved the name: Emerson Fittipaldi and I was a race fan).
He was in middle school, I was driving, and he asked: Why did you give me that name?
I gave him a smart alec answer: "Just be glad I didn't name you Sue.
Fast forward 6 years. He is in the Navy, riding in a car with a buddy and calls me:
"Dad, I just heard the song. Now I get it."
"What are you talking about?" (I'd long ago forgotten the moment, he hadn't).
"Johnny Cash. I'm listening to the song. Now I get it, what you said.
Kid has a memory like his Mom.
“Are there any names that could be shortened to Seph?” she continued.”:
Sewph-ilis.
My mom wanted to name me Wolfgang but my dad shot it down… dang.
How about Stephanie with a nickname of Steph?
I was sure she was going to say her mom named her Electra.
Electra is comparible to the Oedipus complex in males.
Where a girl is jealous of her mother and attracted to her father.
Late poet Sylvia Plath wrote a poem (Daddy) in 1962 about a woman with an unresolved Electra complex.
I like Persephone.
I named one of my dolls Iphigenia, also from mythology.
Mulva
She probably isn’t thrilled with the depiction of a fast talking James Woods as her boyfriend.
Parents who name their kids weird names are doing them no favors. I use to be on the phone all day in a Help Desk and the weird names...
