Alcyone

Ally could be a nick name. It sounds very pretty, but I personally wouldn't use it.

Very pretty sounding.

So lovely.

Alcyone makes me think of serenity and of the moon. It's one of those names that goes with Irene or Selene. Peaceful. I like to pronounce it Al-See-Own.

It looks like the word cyclone.

I love this name! Prefer Alcyoni, though.

Would it be at all permissible to pronounce the name al-SEE-oh-nee instead of al-SYE-oh-nee? Because although it's not the proper way, I much prefer the first one.
