A very beautiful name. It sounds very sweet and lyrical, yet quite mysterious. The association with a siren is what I love about it the most, of which who have the most graceful singing voices, and are said to use it to their advantage to lure sailors into the deep, dark waters. So lovely!
Pretty. I like Greek names ending in -ope. I'd spell it as Parthenopi, though, so as to ensure people won't pronounce it incorrectly.

Why does every other Greek or Latin name have someone calling it pretentious in the comments? Maybe some people actually put some thought into naming their children--daughters, in this case--and don't want their daughters to be another Emily, Madison, Sarah, or other really common name. I, for one, happen to think Parthenope is lovely.

This name is very snobbish and pretentious. It sounds like a name that was used by upper-class people in the Victorian era. Ironically, I find the similar-sounding name Parthenia to be lovely.
