I voted [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] but I also like [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] too. I don’t mind [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], but dislike the others. [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] is nice for a middle name though.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] with [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m]! And [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] & [name_m]Archie[/name_m] is so lovely.
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is gorgeous so she got my vote. I also love [name_f]Galatea[/name_f] & [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f].
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] or [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f]. Especially [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] though because [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] are so cute together!
I voted for [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]…I’ve always loved the name & like several previous posters think [name_m]Archie[/name_m] & [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] are a great combination. My second option by only a whisker would be [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], especially w/[name_m]Archimedes[/name_m]. A third option is more difficult…I like [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] quite a bit, but am not sure how well it goes w/[name_m]Archimedes[/name_m]. But [name_m]Archie[/name_m] & [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] sound quite good together, at least to my ear. [name_f]Galatea[/name_f] is generally NMS, but it does go quite well w/[name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] & the nicknames of [name_m]Archie[/name_m] & [name_f]Tea[/name_f] are really cute. Good luck & please let us know what you decide on!

- [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f] (possible nns: [name_f]Patty[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f])
- [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] (possible nns: [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_u]Persia[/name_u], [name_f]Effie[/name_f], Sephie)
- [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] (possible nns: [name_f]Fay[/name_f], [name_m]Eddie[/name_m], [name_f]Fifi[/name_f])
- [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] (possible nns: [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_m]Pippin[/name_m], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Pixie[/name_f])
- [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] (possible nns: [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_u]Wynn[/name_u], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], [name_f]Fritzie[/name_f], [name_f]Frida[/name_f])
- [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] (possible nns: [name_f]Trixie[/name_f], [name_f]Bee[/name_f], Bia)
- Beronice (possible nns: [name_u]Berry[/name_u], [name_f]Bee[/name_f], Bis)
I voted for [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]
But I also really like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Hypatia[/name_f], Beronice and [name_f]Galatea[/name_f] are my least favorite
This poll/thread has reinforced what I think I was already feeling in my gut, that [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] are the front runner names and will be my big three for the short list.
While I love [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] I agree with others here that it just isn’t the best fit for my sibset.
[name_f]Hypatia[/name_f], [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f], and [name_f]Galatea[/name_f], and [name_f]Berenice[/name_f] (also agreeing with others about the spelling preference now) are still options for potential middle name combos. I will probably make a think tank thread later today for creating middle names combos for my top 3.
Thank you all so much!!!
