[Opinions] Re: Pandora and Persephone

Persephone will unfortunately be unfamiliar to most people, which could easily lead to her being nicknamed Percy. Worse things can happen, but having to deal with a lifetime of explanations plus being called Percy would put me right off the idea.

Pandora is all Adrian Mole.

I know this was the exact opposite of your intention, but the potential for Percy as a nickname has absolutely sold me on Persephone. I love that.

I think the Adrian Mole association is fun :)

I agree that Percy is pretty cute even though I said I don't like it as much as Pan

I've had the tv theme on my brain for hours ... I'm profoundly in love with Pandora, My poetry has existential themes ... etc! Moi, I'd rather use Adrian.

I forgot there was a show, it pre-dates me by some time. I liked the books a lot as a teen, though!
