[name_m]Just[/name_m] fell head over heels for Psamathe, the name of a Greek Nereid, the goddess of sandy beaches. It’s also one of [name_u]Neptune[/name_u]'s moons. From what I can tell it’s pronounced SAH-ma-thee, sort of like [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] if it started with a “sah” sound. (If you’re saying it in Greek, the “p” is pronounced.) It’s completely unrelated to [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] in origin, for what it’s worth. I thought I found a whole thread about it here but can’t find it now - apologies if this is repetitive.
Realistically I wouldn’t use it as a first name - I live in [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]America[/name_u] and have no Greek heritage - but I could imagine it as a middle name. What do you think of it?
