Help[Opinions] Tryphena
I happened to read today about the pre-Raffaelite painter Arthur Hughes whose model, and later wife's name was Tryphena. It seems to not have been unheard of in the 19th c.
I think it's ugly but in a cool way. Thoughts?

Sounds rather literaturary, like hyphen! Kind of like it, kind of don't!

Not sure how I feel about it, but it's definitely interesting enough to use as a character name!

I've come across a few in Victorian records, and always wondered how it was pronounced. Forvo has 'try FEE nuh' - I'd have guessed TRIFF en uh or triff EE nuh. Can't say I care for any of those, but it's an interesting name.

It's biblical, can't recall where, and as such was introduced to South Africa by missionaries; it is used, though not often to my knowledge, by black South Africans who pronounce it exactly like try-FEE-nuh. I've only known one.

I spotted a reference to an adult Tryphosa in the news, just the other day! Can't recall what she'd done - been someone's spokesperson, I think - but she's certainly the first I've seen.
Only Persis I've encountered was someone's sister in one of the Anne of Green Gables books. Also a surprisingly exotic bloom in 19th-century PEI.

Reminds me of Trephonema, AKA syphilis
It also makes me think of trepanation. Can't say I'm a fan.
