Comments for the name Terpsichore

This name is pronounced turp-SIK-uh-ree (rhymes with hickory).

I like the sound but not the look, and I'd never use it.

I like the look but not the sound. To me it looks like the name of a musical instrument, perhaps because it's like "harpsichord". Alternate spellings: Terpsichori, Terpsikhore. There is also an asteroid named 81 Terpsichore and a ballet named "Terpsichore" based on the Greek muse.

I really like this strange, eccentric name. As soon as I saw it, I instantly thought of turpentine, which is an anti-freeze of sorts. Although I would never use this name, on a child at least, I can imagine it on a perturbed female cat, that is sitting and leering; that is what I see in my mind's eye when of think of Terpsichore, anyway. Lol :)
