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.

There's a big difference between Pandora and Eve, in my opinion. I love Eve, whereas I do not find Pandora attractive at all. I don't think I can recall an example of Pandora being used other than its literary context, which would help shape my opinion.

---

I dislike it.

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 like it. Pan is a great nn.
I'd pair it with something short, maybe:

---

Pandora Iris
Pandora Ines
Pandora Sarai
Pandora Fern
Pandora June
Pandora Pearl
Pandora Mary
Pandora Emer
Pandora Tess

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.

---

:-D

I like it, and I don't think the myth is a problem. You could always call her Dora, Dory, or Pan. Pan would be a cool NN for a girl.

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.

I actually think of Bewitched. The grandmother (Samantha's mother) is Endora and her cousin Serena is credited as Pandora. But then again I have alot of "associations" with 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.

Pandora Elise
Pandora Isabelle
Pandora Diane
Pandora Alice

---

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 love it

---

I like to pair it would a name that grounds it a bit. For example

---

Pandora Alice
Pandora Aimee
Pandora Bethan
Pandora Sophie
Pandora Lucy

---

I quite like it, although it does make me tink of pandas.

---

Pandora Athena
Pandora Nancy
Pandora Hollis
Pandora Cinda
Pandora Jacqulyn
Pandora Daphne
Pandora Rosanne
Pandora Jann

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.
