Random question

I love the name Mneme (neemee, greek for memory). It completely fails the business card test:) So any ideas about names that could use Mneme as a nickname?

Hermione is similar in tone.

I like Mneme.

Why is it important that it passes the business card test?

I like "different" names but I don't want to go tooooooo far out there. With the spelling, if you didn't know how to pronounce it, I fear it would get mutiliated on a regular basis.

Noemi or Naomi comes to mind.

I agree!

There's always Mnemosine, from the legend :)

Mnemosine was my first thought.

You could make her first name start with a 'nee' sound and middle name with a 'mee' sound, for example:

Niamh/Neve
Neela/Nilah
Nena/Nina
Neora

Mia
Mika
Meera
Meisha
Mina
