Pandora

[thejollypostwoman]

Girl's name not another thread on the jewellery brand(!) I like it.... am I mad?!

If not any middle name suggestions?

...and It started off so well! Right... back to the drawing board !

Not for me. Three bad associations: the box, Adrian Mole, and that tacky jewellery.

Pandora Sykes is a good association I think, funny and clever and sort of nicely v well to do.

I think the jewellery and Adrian Mole. I don’t mind the myth so much - she’s a similar archetype to Eve, and that’s popular enough as a name.

Artimesia Caria is a strong name. She was a Greek queen who was also an Admiral in the Greco-Persian War.

I like it. Elegant and feminine. And who cares if people don't know the Greek myth; it just shows their ignorance.

Possibly with Dora as a nn. It's a bit like Raquel or Casandra to me though.

My first thought was also Adrian Mole! I don’t like it - not good associations and crap nicknames.

I’m profoundly in love with Pandora 🎼

I really like Pandora as a first name.

I too came to suggest Isadora I don't know if we are quite ready for Pandora to be mainstream. I personally struggle with the jewellery connection.

It’s a no from me.

Maybe use it as a second name?

I had a friend at school called pandora (Pandy for short). I don't remember anyone mentioning the box or Adrian mole to her. The jewelry company was not a thing at the time.

She had a cupboard in her room which had "Pandora's box" painted on it. I opened it once but there was just toys inside

Pandora is a lovely name. Lots of names are in stories but are still nice names regardless.

Beautiful name

Sorry I did know a real life Pandora and hear a man say he couldn’t wait to get into her box

I absolutely love it. Great name. I don't think of the bracelets. Perhaps Adrian Mole but I love that. I'd use Dory or Panda as a nickname.

A cursed box of troubles. Nope!
