Persephone?

 What nickname possibilities can you come up with for Persephone?  I feel like it's a bit of a mouthful to use as is, and would only consider it if there was a really great nickname.

What do you think of it in general?  
 

I generally tend to fall back on Penelope since it's a *bit* more pedestrian, but I really do prefer Persephone.  Plus the part of me that's a Firefly geek doesn't want to let it go ;)

Really?! I LOVE Cora!!

I'm not greek in the slightest though... do you think it's too much of a reach?

Eh. If you're nerdy (lit, mythology, or otherwise) at all, no. Honestly, regardless, I think no. Nicknames come from all over the place, including appearances and behaviors which have nothing to do with the name you pick. And, maybe it'll inspire a little inquisitiveness about reading or other cultures or creative thinking, and all of those are very good things.
