Help[Opinions] Re: Pandora and Persephone
in reply to a message by flossie
I like Pandora more on both counts. Pandora's myth is about the conundrum of, like, knowledge? I also really like the sound and I think a lot of the nicknames are cute. It regularly makes it to the top of my list.
Persephone is almost appealing to me - I like the sound less, I like Persi and Sephie less than Pan/Panda/Dora. And the mythological Persephone is too extravagantly gothic for me to want to pin her name on a child. As I keep saying on this board, she was the underworld goddess - she isn't the goddess of both worlds, when she's above ground her name is Kore. Persephone is a dark halloween queen.

Pan is so cute, but if I mentioned that to my partner (I feel so silly using the word partner) he would squish my hopes and dreams immediately. “What, like a frying pan?” He will probably veto Percy too but at least it’s not a cooking instrument, haha.
Also, I love “dark halloween queen”. What a compliment!
