Hey Berries! 
So I’ve been thinking about the name Semiramide lately. It’s pronounced Suh-meer-uh-mee-day. There’s a lot of history behind the name. I think it’s long and beautiful. But is it too long to be used? What are your thoughts? 
I would personally keep it in the middle name spot because of the spelling and pronunciation issues. (I intuitively pronounced it wrong at first and I would likely spell it wrong too). [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name nonetheless!
I would keep it as a GP, I instantly thought of thalidomide. Although not pronounced similar they end the same. And I find the pronunciation veryyy hard to say! Maybe a mn spot if you’re daring!
Thanks for leaving your thoughts!
It reminds me a lot of ceramides (protein the makes up the skin’s moisture barrier) but I could see it as a middle! It also has a lot of cute nn choices
I voted both because having the nn Semira would be completely usable but with with 5 syllables its quite long as well as uncommon.
It sounds pretty, but unfortunately, it looks too much like a chemical compound/medicine to be usable to me in real life.
I find it usable. It is absolutely beautiful - I agree!
I wouldn’t name my child that because I have other names higher on my list, but I fail to see why one couldn’t use it. There are so many frequently used names that I find horrible. What’s the danger in beauty?
very much looks like a prescription medication to me - though less so when said out loud.
I’m so sorry but my first thought when I saw the name was Thalidomide… Which is not a good connotation. I know it’s pronounced differently but honestly people would read it and the pronunciation would be closer to this… This child would have to constantly explain their name to everyone they meet. Keep it in the middle spot if it’s meaningful, but definitely not a first name.
Thank you! I agree so much with you!
I just found out what thalidomide is but I don’t think of that when I see the name.
Yeah I’d have to agree.
I’m sorry, it’s gorgeous! But I think I have a minor stroke every time I try to pronounce it 
Isn’t it an opera? That’s what I think of, as with [name_f]Aida[/name_f] or [name_f]Boheme[/name_f] or with paintings with [name_u]Matisse[/name_u] or [name_f]Monet[/name_f].
One point to consider. I have a two syllable name that is known in English-speaking countries and has been in the Top 1000 for decades. I have a not uncommon Scottish surname. And yet, 9 times out of 10, people mispronounce my first name and 9.99 times out of 10, they misspell my last name.
So, [name_f]Semiramide[/name_f], yeah! 
I don’t have a problem pronouncing it for some reason 
Yep it’s a opera! It’s also the Latinised version of [name_f]Semiramis[/name_f], who was the [name_f]Queen[/name_f] of Babylon. People have a hard time with my last name too even though it’s simple. Someone also used to call me [name_f]Grace[/name_f] all the time instead of [name_f]Faith[/name_f]. I like a lot of long uncommon names since I have a short name and common name 
I wouldn’t recommend it, sorry. All I see is “semi pyramide”
I’ve always loved this name and would much rather see it used, despite it being unusual, than another [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]!
Yes, I totally agree!
