[Opinions] Philomena
Replies
I like Philomena as a middle name for Mary, but that might just be the Catholic in me. I think it has the geek-chic to make a minor comeback on the coattails of Athena and others like her. It has an elegance to it and a golden sort of feeling. Virgin martyrs are good simple role models, and namesakes have been important to me lately.
Combinations I like:
Mary Philomena - light and elegant and oh-so-very-Catholic (in a good way)
Philomena Jane - feels a little English countryside to me
Briony Philomena
Philomena Rose
Philomena Therese
Catherine Philomena
Philomena's brothers could be Damien, Clement, or Vincent. Her sisters might be Agnes, Gloria, or Beata.

I love Philomena, though I don't think it'll be trendy in the States anytime soon, mainly because of how long / complex it is.
Definitely. Philomena is charming, delicate, and just plain Greek-y. It's one of those names that seems unusable until someone uses it. Someone has to go first. :-)
