I love the name TERPSICHORE, I’m planning to name my daughter this when I get older and have one, also I Love the meaning and pronunciation of it which is delight in dancing, even better is that in mythology she is the goddess of dancing, The name TERPSICHORE is quite spunky and upbeat. Full disclosure, it is a little hard to pronounce, and has a lot of letters and syllables to remember, which is the only thing keeping me from using this name for my future daughter, but I would really love to use it!

I want to like it, but all I can see in it is the word "terp", which reminds me of twerp. I don't know, just doesn't appeal to me because of that.

Terpsichore was the Muse of dance and dramatic chorus. Her name means "delight in dancing". She is the mother of the sirens and Parthenope, and is usually depicted sitting down or standing up while holding a lyre.

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 :)

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.
