[Opinions] Oenone
What do you think of the name Oenone (ee-no-nee)? I like it, but it is kinda weird. Is it usable?

I like it. She could always go by Nonie if she got tired of people getting confused about the spelling and pronunciation of her name.

I love Oenone. I was curious to see how many were out there, so I did a quick search on Facebook and found 34 people, which is more than I would have thought. It's sadly one of those names that I don't think the majority of people would know how to pronounce when they first see it.

Although I admire the classical figure, I'm not especially fond of the name itself.

Ooh, lovely! It's very unique and pretty, and the pronunciation is gorgeous. I personally love the way it's spelt, but it may cause a few pronunciation issues in the future...though I wouldn't let that deter me personally. Nicknames could include Nonie, Eenie and Nina. If I used it, I might balance it out with a more "normal" middle name.Oenone Josephine

It sounds like a series of noises to me. Ee-no-nee, ee-no-nee, ee-no-nee! Like some weird song or something. I don't hear "name."Plus, there'd probably be spelling issues, but even disregarding that I don't care for it. For a pet it'd be pretty cool though.
