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 think of the poet and lesbians. I think it sounds very pretty, but I have a hard time imagining it on a modern age girl.
Like another commenter said, she probably won't be aware of the lesbian connection until high school or college, and I'd imagine she'd have more people making assumptions about her mother's sexuality than anything else.
