HelpRe: Do you think Juno Persophone is a good name for a girl if not why?
in reply to a message by Gilbobaggins
No.
1) It's Persephone in Ancient Greek, and the change of spelling here really doesn't add anything to the name, in my opinion.
2) Juno is the Latin name for Hera (Ancient Greek), Persephone is Ancient Greek. I'd like the combo more if it was Hera Persephone, or Juno Proserpina. Just... it bothers me that they don't match.
3) Juno, especially, isn't necessarily someone you'd want to name your daughter after... She did some pretty horrible things. Okay, she was cheated on multiple times, and was a "strong woman", I suppose, but she had a temper. Persephone, while I have my own ideas about her character, has a pretty story, but it's quite tragic. Not the best mythological figures for your kid to find out about.
I'm a big fan of mythological names, and there are definitely worse names to give your kid, but I'm not really behind this combo. I liked the suggestions other users have posted, though.
