原Florence Nightingale's sister Frances Parthenope (1819-90) was given her first name after her mother Frances and her middle name (which she went by) after Parthenope, an ancient Greek name for the region of Naples, where she was born. She married Sir Henry Verney and was a writer.
原Why does every other Greek or Latin name have someone calling it pretentious in the comments? Maybe some people actually put some thought into naming their children--daughters, in this case--and don't want their daughters to be another Emily, Madison, Sarah, or other really common name. I, for one, happen to think Parthenope is lovely.
原This name is very snobbish and pretentious. It sounds like a name that was used by upper-class people in the Victorian era. Ironically, I find the similar-sounding name Parthenia to be lovely.

我恐怕ops不是意味着声音。这是脸。外观。
原I am afraid ops does not mean voice. It's the face. The appearance.

译 漂亮。我喜欢以-ope结尾的希腊名字。我会拼写为Parthenopi，以确保人们不会错误地发音。

译 为什么每个其他希腊或拉丁名字有人称它在评论中自负？也许有些人在命名他们的孩子 - 在这种情况下，女儿 - 而不想要他们的女儿是另一个艾米莉，麦迪逊，莎拉，或其他真正常见的名字。我，一个，碰巧认为Parthenope是可爱的。

译 这个名字是非常snobbish和自命不凡。这听起来像是维多利亚时代的上层阶级人士所使用的名字。讽刺的是，我发现类似的声音名称Parthenia是可爱的。
