[Opinions] Elemenope
I realise this is just LMNOP, but I was surprised at how nice those letters sound when they run together, plus it sounds like the name of some figure from Greek mythology. I pronounce it as a mix of 'element' and Penelope.Is this worse than Nevaeh in terms of inventiveness? If you met someone named this, would you automatically think LMNOP?

Abcde's sister? I remember a bull on a cartoon named El M-N-O-P-O. Elemenope is better than LMNOP, some might think it's a real name, or recently made (IsabELla, EMma/ EMily are popular, plus PENelOPE), but I think it's bad. Before this post, I don't know if I'd think LMNOP, but now, yes.

It looks like elementary and nope put together lol.Spoken out loud it is very obviously LMNOP. It's much worse than Nevaeh, I think.

I'd expect her to have a sister called Aybece. It makes quite a fun pseudonym, but ot really does sound like one.

It's pretty bad, yes. Heck, even Nevaeh is less ridiculous-sounding. Stick with Penelope.

I like Ellemina, but Elemenope is just...too much. Could be fun in a story, though.
I have seen Abcde online, it's worse. How is it supposed to be pronounced? Absidee?

YesAbcde is Ab-sid-ee. It's one of the urban legendy sounding names that is actually used– It's appeared on the SSA lists.

Automatically I would think LMNOP.
There (used to be?) a line of kids' clothing or shoes or something, was it at Mervyn's maybe? with that name. When I google it, I see it has been used in other cutesy/gimmicky ways too. Worse than Neveah - I think so, a little bit, yes.

Yeah, I would immediately conclude it was a play on LMNOP. It sounds like a joke, and I can't even be sure I haven't run across it in a joking context before.
