Sappho 💛

Any other Sappho fans out there? :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

I absolutely love it, but it’s a name I think you really have to choose for yourself, rather than for someone else.

How do you feel about [name_f]Sappho[/name_f]? And just for fun: give me some [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] combos!

It can be a first, middle, double middle, nickname, anything. How would you use [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] in a combo?

I like it and it’s usable!

I like the no-frill, no complication side of it, as much as the history of it.

It could be a better, less obvious [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. Unfortunately, I don’t make very good combos.

Yes! [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] is a great name, and a great namesake, though it is a lot to wear. I agree that I probably wouldn’t bestow it on someone else.

I like the idea of [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] O- with the nickname [name_f]Sappho[/name_f]! [name_m]Just[/name_m] imagine [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] “[name_f]Sappho[/name_f]” :heart_eyes:

Thank you, those are fab! [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] is especially beautiful, and [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] sounds so badass :muscle:

@floatinthesky

[name_u]Love[/name_u] that idea! [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is lovely, and now you have me thinking… [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f]… (this is fun :wink:)

These two are fantastic! Far “braver” than my style but since this is GP territory only for me then I’m all in :heart_eyes:

[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] are also stunning, and I love the extravagance of [name_f]Idony[/name_f] [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] Cleophée!

@Greyblue

I love so many of those. [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] is especially gorgeous!

I like it. You know I love the feminine -o. It is very bold in the best way. I think 20 years ago it was much less usable but I think it has shed a lot of the shame attached and depending on location, could be feasible as a first name.

I think that Sappho is not a name to bestow on someone else because it is so associated with a sexuality. The irony of a child named Sappho turning out to be straight is too great a risk. However I could see Sappho suiting a pet.

ETA: especially since “sapphic” is a word meaning a woman-aligned person who is attracted to other women-aligned people.

The shame is not with being sapphic, the shame is how many women she might accidentally lead on.

I love the meaning, but I’m not sure I’d ever be able to use it. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I think the historical [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] is a great namesake and in some cultures (e.g. Greek) it’s a perfectly acceptable name.

I’m not sure how I would feel about using it as a first name in the UK, but I do really like it as a middle name. I would pair it with a longer first name like [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], [name_f]Evelina[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliana[/name_f].

[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] is fun like others have said!

[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] Farrow (nonsensical but fun to pronounce!)
[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]
[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Kirsty[/name_f]
[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Grazia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sappho[/name_f] [name_f]Mehitabel[/name_f]

Kind of random, but it was fun!

I’d use [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] as a middle. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using it, it’s a very girl power name due to the poet association.

As a a fan and writer of poetry, and as a gay person, I absolutely love it. I’d likely go for it as a middle name, with a first name that ended with a, I like the sounds together, like:

Laura [name_f]Sappho[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f]Sappho[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Sappho[/name_f]

I was very skeptical before I saw this idea. But [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] O- nn [name_f]Sappho[/name_f] is brilliant and very cute. I like [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] :green_heart: and [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]. :star_struck: With the specification that this is a name you chose for yourself and not one you bestow on a child. I love it.
