Circe
I'm enjoying the Madeline Miller book right now so I've recently become intrigued by the name Circe. Thoughts? And for the record, the fact that she's a witch who turns men into pigs only makes it more attractive for me.

Circe is awesome. She will always be awesome. She rests comfortably on my GP list, though I've thought about moving her to the main PNL.

I really like it. Circe was an intriguing character and not just a type. I am not brave enough to use it, but it has a sense of enchantment.

I love the book so much, and I adore the name! It would also be associated with the character Cersei from ASOIAF/GOT. I’m not brave enough to use it for a human child, but it’s on my list for a future cat :) (I’d love to have two sphynx cats named Merlin and Circe)

Which pronunciation would you use: Seersay or Kirkay?

I always heard it pronounced SUHR-see so I'd use that

I love the name and the Homeric character. My only fear is that people would conflate it with Cersei (which I'm personally averse to because I don't care about Game of Thrones, but if that association isn't a deterrent for you, then cool!).

I like it! I didn't think of it as usable until fairly recently, but there's no reason it wouldn't be usable. It's not even long.
