Eugenie?

I don't understand why I never hear it.
I think it's pretty (heard a lot worse) but have yet to meet a little Eugenie. Not seen it suggested on here either.
Does Sarah Ferguson hold the licence or am I the only one who likes it?

I do like this name but it's also not very me either. That probably makes no sense!

My cat is Eugenie although it does tend to be shortened to either Genie-pie or pie-pie. Not that I'd suggest either of those for a small child Grin

Eugenics. Yes. That. ^^

I'm also uncertain on how to pronounce it properly.

Yoo-jane-ee
or
You-jennie

I don't think it's pretty at all, hideous in fact. Reminds me of eugenics. Ugh.

Beatrice is very popular so it hasn't been affected by the princess tag. I find it pretty to hear but ugly to see written down.

Love it.

Princess Eugenie would put me off, but I'm a staunch republican. It might not matter much to other people
