I so wanted to pick [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], but I feel like it might be too close in sound to Posy’s name?

Also, I love seeing [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] on someone else’s list!

I am not sure what the pronunciation is on Endelyon but I picked it because if probably only need to hear it once and like [name_f]Edie[/name_f]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Iggy[/name_m]!

Before even opening your post, I thought to myself that [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] would be a perfect match for [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]! So, that is my favorite for a girl.
I love the name [name_f]Kalliope[/name_f]. It’s sweet, strong and has a magnificent meaning.

[name_f]Reverie[/name_f] is great in full. [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] could be [name_m]Eddy[/name_m].

A guilty pleasure sibling set of mine would be [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_f]Desdemona[/name_f] !!! There’s so many nicknames for it too like [name_m]Desi[/name_m], [name_f]Demi[/name_f] and [name_f]Mona[/name_f]

From your list my top 2 for a sibling to [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] “Posy” would be [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] “Remi” and [name_f]Vespertine[/name_f] “Vesper” for a girl, and [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] “Taddy” and [name_m]Constantine[/name_m] for a boy !!!

[name_f]Kalliope[/name_f] is my favorite out of your list!!

I knew a sibset: [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Franny[/name_f] / Cheska) & [name_f]Persephone[/name_f].

I’ll also suggest:
[name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] nn [name_m]Archie[/name_m]
Dimitris
[name_m]Barthelemy[/name_m]

[name_f]Abby[/name_f] at Appellation [name_m]Mountain[/name_m] just did a Name Help post about needing a twin brother name for [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]. Older sibling is [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m].

Might be some inspiration here.

Thanks for your votes and thoughts, everyone!

@abxnt41 Some thoughts and ideas for you to peruse! :grin:

@seawillow I do love [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], but overall I wonder if it clashes with the majority of our style / taste in names. I hadn’t thought about the fact that it does sound similar to [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] - good point!

I adore [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]! (I just have to get hubby to love it as much as I do).

@whatchamacallit Thank you! I love that [name_f]Vespertine[/name_f] sounds so spunky, while simultaneously having such a gentle meaning - a wonderful juxtaposition!

@Casea33 Endelyon is an alternative spelling of [name_f]Endellion[/name_f].

@Estrela I am loving [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] with [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] more and more!

@chelsia [name_f]Desdemona[/name_f] does have a great sound, but the meaning is somewhat unfortunate…

@river_dweller [name_f]Love[/name_f] your additional boy suggestions! Thank you!

@TiffanyS Thanks for the link! I’ll have a look through what others have suggested.

@Etymology Thank you for the suggestions. We do actually have [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] on our list (just not currently at the top). I’m loving the sound of [name_f]Hebe[/name_f].

We did originally decide on the [name_f]Kalliope[/name_f] spelling, but the more I look at it, I feel like I am starting to prefer [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] instead.
