My favorite is [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Diantha[/name_f]. [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] is real fun to say, and I think it contrasts [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] in sound nicely.

I love the feel of [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f]—there’s a softness to [name_f]Annora[/name_f] that mellows [name_f]Persephone[/name_f].

Also like [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] because it reminds me of dianthus flowers. Makes the combo rather bright and springy.

Thank you both for your feedback!

Ceryle- that’s what I liked about [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] too, the springy feel it brings to the whole name!

What about [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]? [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] is beautiful, though!

Thank you for your input jillmarie115! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is lovely but it’s one my my middle names and I’m not especially keen on reusing it.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] love love [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]!! I picked [name_f]Annora[/name_f] from the poll, as I think an A-sound follows [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] very well (sig case in point lol!) However, I absolutely [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Adelpha[/name_f]! That is stunning!! I think that’s the winner!

Ps. Has to be said… I just loooove your naming style!! Gorgeous!

I seem to be in the minority here but I think [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] is the outstanding choice with [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] - it flows beautifully, and has feisty femininity.

I was inclined to vote for [name_f]Annora[/name_f] first but I actually think I prefer [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], it sounds strong and fiery to me. [name_f]Annora[/name_f] is beautiful but I’m not sure how well it pairs w/ [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] for me.

I voted for [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] is prettier.

My kitten is called [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] but I can imagine it on a human person too.

mt_mama · April 17, 2018, 3:39am

I voted [name_f]Diantha[/name_f], but I like all of these choices, including [name_f]Adelpha[/name_f]

Coddiwomple · April 17, 2018, 7:14am

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] is amazing.

kendelbell · April 17, 2018, 7:15am

I voted for [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]!

katinka · April 17, 2018, 9:40am

I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] (a bit n-heavy though, maybe?) and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]. I voted for the latter because I really love [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]!

gildedfairyx · April 17, 2018, 9:49am

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] is stunning. I also really like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Diantha[/name_f].

books_and_tea · April 17, 2018, 9:53am

I adore both [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Diantha[/name_f], though I ultimately voted for the latter.

islandmoon · April 17, 2018, 10:14am

I’ve never heard of [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] before but I really like the sound of it. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] sounds lovely and springy.

brittanyanitarose · April 17, 2018, 1:47pm

Wow this had a lot of activity while I was away! I will try and respond to everyone shortly as I really appreciate all of your feedback!

I’m noticing a lot of people who voted for [name_f]Annora[/name_f] also like [name_f]Diantha[/name_f]. I wonder if I switched out [name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Adelpha[/name_f] on another poll if that would sway the results any?

I honestly really love all of these middles this is so difficult.
I might have to ask my partner to eliminate some if I can’t do it myself.

I like [name_f]Annora[/name_f] and [name_f]Diantha[/name_f], but I prefer the [name_f]Honora[/name_f] spelling since [name_f]Annora[/name_f] has a little bit of a “smush” vibe to me, and I like the “honor” part of [name_f]Honora[/name_f]. It could be that it is just more familiar to me too. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Honora[/name_f] would be pretty! [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] is cool too and I like the the flower/goddess associations. [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] is a little much with [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]IMO[/name_f] with both the [name_f]Mary[/name_f] Magadalen and the goddess of the underworld associations.

brittanyanitarose · April 18, 2018, 11:05am

Thanks for the feedback! An interesting point in [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f].

The reason for choosing [name_f]Annora[/name_f] or [name_f]Honora[/name_f] is that our last name is [name_m]Harris[/name_m], and the silent H followed by a hard H was bugging me when I looked at all three names together.

I still intend to respond to the other comments! [name_m]Just[/name_m] have a lot going on atm.
