Scarlett - sounds pretty, but natural nn is Scar? Dislike.
Daphne - dislike. I don't like the sound or the Scooby Doo association I have with it.
Penelope - like
Charlotte - love! My oldest DD name is Charlotte Elise.
Noelle - love!
Persephone - dislike. I don't think the general American public is ready for this name. Also comes off kind of snooty sounding.
Mara - I like the name, but it means bitter, which is a turn off for me
You should consider naming your DD Mara Persephone. I think it is a really pretty name. I prefer Mary to Mara but you like Mara and it flows nicely with Persephone though I think Mary Persephone flows only sightly less well.
Penelope and Daphne are also very nice.
Suggestions:
Delphine
Constance
Florence
Helen
Irene
Josette
Prudence
Phoebe
Philomena
Phaedra
Priscilla
Regina
Charlotte and Scarlett are alright but it's hard to be wowed by them when I see them everywhere. Gwendolyn is pretty and might make a nice MN just bc it is a mouthful. I prefer Gwenneth as a FN but I think Gwendolyn is prettier. I guess this delima is why I dismiss it. Noelle is okay but it doesn't grab me.
HTH!
Charlotte too popular and not all that pretty
No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college. Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole. IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age. On to IVF. Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11. Froze due to overstimulation.
FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN. FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).
Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer. Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.
ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET 7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1 9.10.14 TRIPLETS!!
Boys born 3.18.14 @ 29w5d. Andrew Jack 3#6oz 16", Grant Robert 3#9oz 16", Charles Phillip 3#7oz 17".
