I think this name has a good chance of having a major upswing in use. Not only has Persephone been mentioned a lot lately on all three of the baby name boards I look at, but it has recently been featured on the television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as the "undercover" name of the character detective Olivia Benson (played by Mariska Hargitay). When a "new" name starts turning up in use by well-loved chief characters on hit TV shows, that's often a sign that the leaders of fashion are noticing it and that it will boom in use soon.
