[Opinions] Re: Astraea, Eunomia, and Pandora (edited to add mn suggestions)
I fell in love with Pandora when I saw a documentary on silent film. The pictures of Louise Brooks in the movie "Pandora" sealed the deal. Very positive association for me. And P names are not that plentiful. Pandora Sophie (a wise Pandora?), Pandora Delphine, Pandora Esme, Pandora Ines? Astraea is not only lovely sounding, but the mythological story is wonderful. Goddess of justice giving up on humans because we are so hopeless? Sounds about right to me. Wonderful name for a girl born in Virgo. Astraea Celeste (too corny?), Astraea Diane, Astraea Sylvie, Astraea Camille?Eunomia is new to me. I love many other "Eu-" names so this one is a neat discovery. Thanks. If the stress is on the "o," however, it doesn't sound that great to my ears. Do you know the pronunciation? Eunomia Meadow?

I just assumed that it's Yoo-NOME-ee-ah, but it could be a short "o" or a stressed "i", I guess. I didn't really think about it! Pandora Delphine is very pretty, and thanks for the suggestions:)
