What do you think about the name Sappho?

Do you immediately think of the Greek poet? Is it inseparable from lesbians (and is that a bad thing--bullying etc.)?


How do you pronounce it? Sap-foh or Sah-foh? I like the second one.

I uh love that name... partly because I did a 10 page paper on a portrait of Sappho. So the lesbian thing made me go huh?

I pronounce it Sah-foh.

The lesbian connection is mentioned on every baby-name site that I go to, so I figured it might be somewhat common knowledge. But I certainly didn't know about until I read it on those sites...

I love the name so much.
