Adrian Mole.

Yeap, Pandora's box is the first thought..

WhatsAllThisThen · 20/05/2010 10:41

Mean boys at school will talk about Pandora's box. You have been warned.

ipanemagirl · 20/05/2010 00:23

too posh for me, sends snooty signals imo. Nothing wrong with a classy name but a snooty name for me, ain't right.

Adrian Mole and Pandora's Box.

jeananddolly · 19/05/2010 22:36

Although Pan is probably better said, than written down as now I'm thinking pot & pan...

jeananddolly · 19/05/2010 22:35

Pandora was on my list and poo-pooed by DH.

Love adrian mole, second whoever said that is a positive association.

i've known one or two and they tend to be west london meeja darlings - but lovely and hard as nails under a daffy exterior. Not bad association imo.

Pan is a lovely nickname.

pointydog · 19/05/2010 22:21

awful

suspiria · 19/05/2010 22:09

It's on my shortlist for next time.I love it

Thediaryofanobody · 18/05/2010 14:43

I love it like Pan as a NN.

Lovely. Daring and very refreshing.
Might be a bit "posh" indeed due to being so rare...

AndieWalsh · 18/05/2010 10:25

Awful. Just beyond poncy, really.

ticktockclock · 17/05/2010 20:23

Yep, on my list.

CarrieSmattick · 17/05/2010 20:22

I really liked it but DH vetoed - having been a teenage boy he said "pandora's box" had unfortunate connotations.

I was but could see it.

CinderellaRach · 17/05/2010 20:20

Beautiful but a little ott and posh

seashore · 17/05/2010 20:05

Very, very bad.

Psammead · 17/05/2010 20:04

Well, I quite like it.

zozzle · 17/05/2010 18:57

Not keen - too posh. Also I think Adrian Mole and planet in film Avatar (wasn't that called Pandora?)

Francagoestohollywood · 17/05/2010 17:22

No, it makes me think of boxes and big mess.

Shaz10 · 17/05/2010 17:10

I'm profoundly in love...

bananamumma · 17/05/2010 17:08

It's a bit 'sexy' iykwim. I picture a stripper or massage parlour.
