[Opinions] Pandora?
Replies
I personally love the name. And Pandora's Box isn't altogether a negative story. She also released hope onto the world.
Anyway, since it is regarded negatively, I would use it only as a pet's name, or middle name.

I like Pandora a lot. I wouldn't use it myself as a fn, but I'd love to see it on people IRL!

I love Pandora.
Almost any name from mythology starts out with a plus in my book. There aren't many P names for girls, so it also has a certain "look at me" factor. It's easy to spell and pronounce. Nns Dora, Dorie, Andi, Annie (and even Panda) are cute.
I know the "Pandora's Box" thing could put some off. Personally, it adds to the fun of the name. It helps keep it edgy.
Pandora Jane is my stock combo for it. I know Jane is a bit of a filler. But it gives it a British, cool-as-ice feeling that I like.

I liked Pandora more before it started to feel like a brand name. I now think of Pandora Radio and Pandora Jewelry as easily as I think of the mythical figure and her famous box. It's like all the shiny has worn off.
That's interesting! I never knew that, but then again, I've never watched Bewitched.
Might be my favorite name, possibly? I love Pandora's box, though; the tie would be deliberate. I like Pan and Panda and Dora and the whole thing.
Haven't really made combos past like Pandora Rose and stuff. The issue is that it is so self-sufficient that combos are a challenge. I'm interested to see if any suggestions satisfy me.

I don't want to open the Box.
It's not good in my opinion to know that Pandora will always be associated with boxes.

I generally love "dora" names, but I don't see ever warming to this one. Even putting the obvious "Box" association aside (and also John Denver's "The Box", which I remember hearing as a child, and which doesn't mention Pandora specifically but has always been linked in my mind) the name itself also makes me think of bread. I see "bread" "dora", loaf pans and also the Spanish word for bread.
I actually like it. I knew one and she was called Panda a lot. I didn't really like that :P I would never use it. The 'unleashing all the evil spirits' thing is just too much even though I don't think it's true or anything. Yeah but Eve still has a goody goody image. Don't ask me why, I have no idea, but no one thinks 'evil' when they hear Eve.
I'd like to see it on someone else and I like saying it.

I like to pair it with something that ends with the letter E for some reason.

Hate it. Pandora is so over-the-top and theatrical I can never imagine it on a real person.
I really like Pandora. I don't think the myth ruins the name - Cassandra and other names have unpleasant myths too. I like Dora too, as a nickname.
