Help[Opinions] Eudora
I've decided this is going to be my Name Of The Month.
Do you guys like it? What do you think of it? Do you have any pet combos? Do you know any Eudoras?

It's definitely your style! I like it, and I performed with a soprano recently named Eudora who was fantastic and gorgeous. Maybe she was a mezzo. I can't remember exactly.

Seems like a mezzo name, somehow.

Yes. Eudora Brown, mezzo-soprano. I looked it up!

I absolutely ADORE Eudora! Eudora Jackson is the moniker of my insane (not clinically) friend's alter ego.

Bewitched!!! I think it's cool but it makes me think of an old lady who can be a bit mean sometimes :P I know one and she is over 70.

old email program
Sorry, but that's my ONLY association w/ the name Eudora... and might be for a number of us who were old enough to be doing email in the late 90s. I really don't like most fem names starting with the eu sound. Eunice I find rather ugly too as a name. Just Dori on its own is quite nice though and can work for almost any age. The one I know was an ESL teacher at the college I went to my first 2 yrs.

I don't like the "Eu" sound either, or the look for that matter. Eudora and Eunice are just old and stuffy to me.
I was in high school in the late 90's and using my parents' internet. We had CompuServe and AOL before that - yes, we still had dial-up! - and I used those for email, but I had heard of Eudora.

That was my boyfriend's main association, too.

I love it.
Mostly due to the author, though. I agree that a lot of people will connect it with the mail program, so there is that to keep in mind. No combos...just a request: Call her Eudora, not Dori. :-D

Eudora is probably my favorite Eu- name. I really like it. The Eudora Welty association is strong, but that's a plus in my book. I've never met a Eudora, but I'd love to. I probably wouldn't be brave enough to use it myself, unless it was on a cat.
I've never tried to make a Eudora combo before. Hmmm. It's tough. Nothing sounds quite right.

I like it a lot. I would only use it for a daughter with the intention of calling her Dory, but on someone else Eudora itself is fine. It's not really as stuffy sounding as I think it seems on paper. I heard someone calling a girl of about 9 "Eudora" at the park, last year or the year before. It sounds typical yuppie antique, but a little bit less safely fashionable than names like Matilda or Phineas or Violet ... more along the lines of Olive.
I don't make combos much but right now I'm inclined to put it with Lucille. Eudora Lucille. Or maybe Camille.

Phineas is fashionable?
1
Yeah. Isn't it? It's not common, for reasons I think are obvious, but I have the impression that the style of it is still sort of hip. Like Thaddeus. Remember Julia Roberts' twins Phinnaeus and Hazel? Eudora seems to me like it'd have a dowdier image. Although I personally think Hazel and Phineas and Matilda are dowdier than Eudora, I'd expect most people to feel the opposite way. Don't know why.
1
I don't pay much attention to movie stars, so I had no idea what children she had. Phineas makes me think of a cartoon my brother likes to watch. It sounds more dorky than fashionable imo.

I like Eudora very much, but my sister told me it's one of the worst names I could use. Whatever. This is the girl who wants to use Anderson Teal on a daughter. I think Eudora is charming and ladylike. My pet combo is Phoebe Eudora, because I think it makes a really cool middle name, as opposed to a first name. I've never met a Eudora, but I do like Eudora Welty's writing. Let me see what I can do with combos.

Eudora Phoebe (works the other way around, too)

It's an o.k. name, certainly not a bad one. and yes, I went to school with a girl named Eudora. She was alway called that, no nick-names.
1
I always want to stick a 'Welty' at the end of this name.
I like it well enough. It's sturdy, and I would love to meet one IRL.

Strangely enough I do know a Eudora. My cousin has two young daughters Adelaide and Eudora. And her full name combo is Eudora Quinn. I think she has red hair like her sister.
I rather like Eudora because it's old-fashioned and actually quite lovely. I'm not sure but it might be a bit too old-fashioned to be used nowadays. But I do like the possibility of "Dora" or "Dorie" being used as a nickname.
Combos, let's see.
Eudora Beatrice
Eudora Charlotte
Eudora Gwyneth
Eudora Jeanette
Eudora Camille
Eudora Cecile
Eudora Kathleen
Eudora Jocelyn
Eudora Louise
Eudora Margaret
Eudora Margot
Eudora Sadie
Eudora Violet
