[Opinions] Melpomene
I just discovered Melpomene as I was watching Disney's Hercules. She was one of the muses in Greek Mythology, and I simply love the name. What are your opinions? I think this is one of those names that sounds better than it looks, and once you get past the exterior it’s simply beautiful.Some combos I like:Melpomene Allegra
Melpomene Ambrosia
Melpomene Aspasia
Melpomene Athenais
Melpomene Aurore
Melpomene Calypso
Melpomene Damaris
Melpomene Harmonia
Melpomene Penelope
Melpomene Stelara

I've always adored it.But I get confused with myself to whether Melpomene or Mnemosyne is better.

It has some significance to me because of some college-related stuff, so I'm partial to it. But I rarely like Greek -ee names, so that puts it down. However, considering, I do like the Mel- part and the pom part is cute. Melpomene Aurore is quite pretty.BTW, I was instructed to pronounce it mel-PAH-mə-nee, which I know isn't the correct pronunciation in Greek. But that's how I say it, anyway.

What is the correct pronunciation, if you know it?
