I saw it coming but Iam still so sad about it 
That’s crazy! I’m very upset people are getting better (imo) taste in names lol. Let’s go back to the loads of [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]’s and [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f]’s

I am actually really surprised that [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is in the top 1000 all I can say is that it’s probably a small minority of people actually using [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] which is a relief as it’s so annoying if everyone jumps on the bandwagon of improving their name choices all the majestic ones will go!
I wonder if it’s increased in popularity because of the Noughts & Crosses novel series. Noughts & Crosses seems to of been discussed a lot of recent and there’s been a BBC adaption of the first book as well which had a lot of great reviews so maybe that’s why people have started using it.

It’s unexpected but its similarity to names like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] perhaps reveal why.
To put it into perspective a little though, [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] ranks 864 in the UK which equates to 43 babies

I’m not surprised, given Penelope has been so popular for a minute and people are beginning to lose interest, so in the search for a less common name that’s Penelope-like, they find their way to sweet Persephone.
Personally I like when names I enjoy crack onto the charts. A little familiarity isn’t bad. It’s when they crack the top 100 that I get sad because that’s where we start to transition from familiar to overdone.
For now, I expect Persephone to make a climb, but it probably won’t peak beyond the 400 range. That’s my prediction anyway.

Wow! That surprises me! [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] always seemed so offbeat to me! 
I’m not surprised, and I’m actually pretty happy about it! What a lovely name.
