Persephone?

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

 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 ;)

I'd read this book in which a Persephone was nicknamed Sophie...

Ooh. That's a good one. I think there have been some good creative solutions in this thread.

Pera
Perry (or Peri, maybe leading to Peridot, then to Dot or Dottie. These things happen.)
Sophie
Effie (actually a nickname for Euphemia)
Cora

I did a little more googling and found some other suggestions:

Posie (so maybe Poppy, too, or Pepper, or Peppie)
Rennie (or maybe Renny or Wren)
Serpina
Or, and maybe this is a stretch, Pom(me) or Garnet after the associated fruit.
