How many Pandora's are there??

Hello all :) I have baby girl named Pandora. I chose the name with the help of my DD & DS who like me are a fan of unusual names. I know of only two other Pandora's, one being the Greek myth and the other I over heard someone call their daughter in a shop. I was wondering how many other Pandora's there are, can anyone help??
Thank You x

I know a fifty year old one, known as Pandy. It is my favourite girls name but I wasn't brave enough to use it.

Thank you for your replies :)
My other DC are Billy (not very unusual I know but he was the only one in his whole school career) and Mya-Aurora.
Pandora's middle names are Luna (from Harry Potter), Parker ( from Spiderman and Thunderbird's), and Lola (Charlie & Lola). We call her Panz for short.

According to this website there have been under 100 babies called Pandora since 1996. It's a lovely name :)

I know of a Panda (adult). I'm hoping it's short for Pandora.

Thank you umbrellahead :) Pandora suits her name. She is very clever and has blonde curly hair, tanned skin( I'm mixed race) and big blue eyes! :)

It's pretty uncommon I'd say. It's a lovely sound but the ghost of Adrian Mole looms large.

I have a one year old pandora , we love the name but admit it is controversial, i get lots of either " love it" or " er.. thats unusual".. she gets called pan, Dora, panda and lots of variations. I love the meaning (" all gifts" or "all gifted") and chose despite those bracelets which I hope will die out in due course. I know of one other in real life, she is about 30. Before I had dd, I reread all the Adrian mole books and have to say pandora braithwaite is a bit of a legend so was happy with the connotation! Oxford don, treacle haired beauty and in the end she is quite loyal to poor Adrian... Oh my other dd is called Isla which I still love despite it being now very popular...

Pandora is a lovely name! Classic, feminine and not overused!

I know of only one.

She is from a family of utterly sublimely named children (all girls) Smile

I've only ever known one, when I was at university. She'll be mid 20s now.
