I finally went and saw Les Misérables on monday for my birthday. Both Ben and I really enjoyed it, some of the best and most heartfelt acting I've seen in a long time. Everyone did a really great job and needless to say I cried several times.

One of my favorite character names from the movie was Eponine. The way they say it in the movie it almost sounds like Ebony. (Ep oh nee) or (Ep oh neen) but the last N being very soft.

Victor Hugo may have gotten the name Eponine from Saint Eponine.

Eponine may be a derviative of the name Epona which is Celtic goddess of horses. Or it may be the french derivative of the Gaulish Empona "Heroine" from the Italian Epponina. http://www.behindthe...ponine/comments

I like it! Not one I'd use, but I'd love to see it on someone elses kiddo's <3

I've wanted to see Les Mis but Mike wasn't interested and he's usually the one I find myself in theaters with. Eventually haha <3

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd use it either. But it would make a pretty middle name. And I would LOVE to see it on someone else's kid.

Ben actually suggested seeing Les Mis. He is a big fan of musicals and one of his favorite movies is the Phantom of the Opera.

After all of the hype about this movie, I now want to see it. I was sort of subconsciously boycotting it because I felt like it was too "hyped up", if that makes any sense. Stupid reason, I know.
Anyway.
Eponine is pretty, I like it. If I were to use it, it would definitely be in the middle name spot, but yeah I can't say I'm entirely against using it. It's very different, but soft like you said and superr feminine. ♥
A name I heard from the movie that become my "Eponine" was Cosette. I had heard it before this movie though (from a Real Housewives season, of all places, lol), and I started saying it over and over again in my head, and it's really grown on me! I almost sort of love it now?

I saw that with Kandy and a few girls. Needless to say, we all cried at one point or another. LOL.

I was really attracted to name Eponine too. Something about it is really pretty without being overly feminine.

I think my mom an I are the only people on the planet who DIDN'T like the movie. :/
I'm just not into musicals where EVERY word is sung. :/ But the actors and acting were great and I liked Eponine as well.
I was sort of forced into going to see it because my cousin in Australia had just read the book and she wanted to watch it. We actually saw The Hobbit with them too, and I really loved that movie.

Plus I have a huge crush on Eddie Redmayne that stems from like 4 years ago. So I would have had to see it anyway.


And Happy Birthday!!!

I like Eponine (might have something to do with that fact that Eponine is my favourite character from Les Mis).

It's different and is after an awesome character

Well like Evita, it is a rock opera (where it is all sung). But anyways Eponine has always been my favorite character from Les Mis second to Gavroche, and I love Eponine for a little girl, I'd use it as a fn or a mn.
