What association do you connect to Despina?
I plan to use [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] Despina, so name will be in the middle, but I predict both names will be noticeable through her life. So, is there reason not to use Despina? It comes from Greek Despoina - mistress, lady.
[name_f]Every[/name_f] time I see it, it reminds me of Despacito but I think that’s just me and if I heard it the association would go away. I think its perfectly usable.
Oh, that didn’t occur to me… Anybody else?
It does sound vaguely like “despicable” in the beginning, but the ending sounds nothing like the rest of the word, especially because the “i” sounds are different (if I’m pronouncing it correctly.) I think that attached to a person the (not even complete) association wouldn’t be noticeable. The name isn’t my style, but I see no reason not to go for it!
Despina reminds me of “desperate” or “despicable”. Although the name as a whole is not bad, it sounding similar to those words in the beginning is enough for it to be a bit too off-putting for me.
I think it works.
I read a book with a character called Despina, and “desperate” was always my first thought.
I definitely reminds me of Despacito.
Call me weird, but I still want to use Despina…
Despina makes me think of the word “despise”, sorry. Maybe you would like [name_f]Delphina[/name_f]?
