HelpRe: Do you think Juno Persophone is a good name for a girl if not why?
in reply to a message by Gilbobaggins
I assume you meant Persephone.
Juno, apart from being a goddess mostly sculpted in the nude (irresistibly funny to the under-12s and embarrassing from 12-17), she wasn't in any way a model of good behaviour, even by the low standards of Mount Olympus. And the carnage on Juno Beach ... surely not the best choice?
Persephone as Goddess of Spring sounds OK but Persephone as abductee and rape victim does not.
I also find the clash of languages annoying. Nothing against Latin or Greek names, but combining the two is discordant. If for some reason you wanted to commemorate the myths rather than the sound of the names, then either Hera Persephone or Juno Proserpina would be preferable.
