Would just like opinions on this name.

I think of boxes and Adrian Mole. Good name though - probably not many about.

scurryfunge · 17/05/2010 15:47

Ok....will probably get shortened to Dora though

Makes me think of pandora bracelets

LuluF · 17/05/2010 16:05

What is a pandora bracelet?

ChislersMummy · 17/05/2010 16:06

Not keen. I like Paloma though.

ChislersMummy · 17/05/2010 16:07

those bracelets are so last week.

Tidey · 17/05/2010 16:07

Not fond. Bracelets and boxes full of evil are not good connotations.

Thanks for the replies, I was just wondering. A friend of mine called her baby this and another friend was oohing and aahing to me over the choice of name. Personally, I think you'd need a double barrelled surname and a talent for show jumping to carry it off.

So what's 'this weeks' bracelet trend?

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

Shaz10 · 17/05/2010 17:10

I'm profoundly in love...

Francagoestohollywood · 17/05/2010 17:22

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

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?)

Psammead · 17/05/2010 20:04

Well, I quite like it.

seashore · 17/05/2010 20:05

Very, very bad.

CinderellaRach · 17/05/2010 20:20

Beautiful but a little ott and posh

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.

ticktockclock · 17/05/2010 20:23

Yep, on my list.

AndieWalsh · 18/05/2010 10:25

Awful. Just beyond poncy, really.

Pasiphae · 18/05/2010 11:42

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