Even if you don't care, lots and lots of other people will. That will be a huge hurdle that your daughter would probably not thank you for. In and of itself I don't know if I like it or not. The O ending on a female name is interesting and uncommon and appeals to me. The downside of that is that with the S and ph plus the long O I can't shake Sophie when I see it. I'm sick to death of Sophie. :-/ So it is a definite strike against it. I'm not a huge fan, either, of names that to me "belong" to one particular person. Sappho is just Sappho, not someone else's kid. Kind of like how Che Guevara is Che. The name is so "him" to me that it isn't up for grabs. In real life, I would give it a thumbs down. As far as names go without context to me it's not bad but not particularly compelling.

So I'll save it for a cat.I really love O names for girls - Amparo, Clio, Juno, Cielo (gotten off a baby name site, supposed to be Spanish for sky), I'm really digging Cielo & Juno right now.

I once read a book where a cat was named Sappho! It was great. I love that idea.O names for girls really are the bee's knees. Hero is another one I am fond of. And Dido! Now there's a good old-fashioned name that your girl wouldn't have to share that would show people how cultured you are.

That might be a good idea. :-)You know as well as anyone how difficult an unusual name can be. Imagine an unusual name with such strong connotations. :-/Great cat name, though, if you really do want to use it!
