I think Persephone is a lovely name, but I can understand the peer issues ...

There's a far greater diversity of names used (specially for girls) these days. My kids' classes are full of wonderful names that may sound unfamiliar to the English ear but are lovely nonetheless. Nabiha, Keertika, Rujiha ... and then there are ones taken from films etc (we know a Trinity and two Nikitas**). So Persephone hardly stands out in such a crowd! **Cause you really want to name your baby daughter after a ruthless fictional assassin, don't you? ::)
