[name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name] are the only two I like but I do love them both :slight_smile:

[name]Penelope[/name] is just beautiful and [name]Phoebe[/name] is so cute and fun!

[name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Zoe[/name] are ok but just too popular and common here in the UK, not sure about US.

And the other names are too out there for me. Good luck :slight_smile:

Of those listed, [name]Calliope[/name] and [name]Hermione[/name] are my favourites. [name]Calliope[/name] is one of my top names actually - I think her to be so bouncy and fresh and just gorgeous. [name]Hermione[/name], also, has those attributes that I like.

Other Greek names ending in -e that I like/love include [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Athene[/name], [name]Evadne[/name], [name]Circe[/name], [name]Hyacinthe[/name], [name]Ianthe[/name], Minthe, [name]Ione[/name], [name]Parthenope[/name], [name]Psyche[/name], Terpsichore, [name]Persephone[/name], [name]Xanthe[/name], Atalante, Chrysanthe and Xanthippe.

[name]Calliope[/name] is my niece’s name, so I’ll have to go with that one. She’s definitely the only one in her class, and it’s such a pretty name. Her full first name is [name]Calliope[/name] [name]Belle[/name], “CB” for short.

I think the whole set sounds a bit trendee, like they’re trying too hard to be kool.

I love [name]Penelope[/name] for all the nn options. And it’s just so cute!

I like [name]Calliope[/name]. I’m not sure why. I’m not crazy on [name]Callie[/name], but [name]Calliope[/name] is cool.

These are legitimate, ancient Greek names. There is nothing “trendee” about them. Personally, I think it’s a shame that a lot of parents pass up these great, historical names and go on to name their child something like [name]Kason[/name] or [name]Shaylee[/name], which are trendy, made-up names.

I agree. If you think these are trendee names, then you must not be very educated in names and history.

I love Greek names! [name]Calliope[/name] is my number one favorite, but I love all the others as well. [name]Callie[/name] as a nn is so cute!

[name]Thisbe[/name]! mainly because of the ‘be’ i love bumble bees…

:slight_smile:

I like [name]Thisbe[/name] best. For three reasons:

  1. It’s not weird looking or sounding to me.
  2. I haven’t seen anyone either with that name, or anyone seriously discussing it.
  3. It’s cute

[name]Penelope[/name]!
She is in my top 2 girls names. [name]Penelope[/name] is so elegant, and her nicknames are so adorable.

[name]Calliope[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name].

[name]Daphne[/name] is a little too Scooby Doo for me, but I would love to meet a little [name]Daphne[/name]!

Also [name]Evadne[/name] is very pretty.
