Horrid, horrid, and tolerable

Bad combo in my eyes.
But I like Opal. It's a GP and a middle name choice for me, but it has a vintage, clunky charm I like. It's also one of the few gem names I can abide.
Eunice and Maud are pretty... yeah, totally not my style, ever. And that's trying to be nice. Sorry. I just really don't like them, and even if I can see a mini Edith, Opal, Matilda, Jean... endless clunky, somewhat dated names... being cute on a kid and charming on an adult, I draw the line at Eunice and Maud. Maude makes me wince and Maud is even blarrghh-ier. Sorry.

Sorry, but I don't like any of them.

Eunice is one I can't quite come around to yet, but could eventually. It has potential but I don't think it's ready for a revival just yet.
Maud I absolutely adore. Don't care what anyone else says. Though I do prefer Maude. I think it has a really cool vibe. It doesn't sound old to me at all.
Opal I don't really care for. The sounds just aren't very appealing to me personally.

Eunice isn't very pretty, it's got that nasally sound - but it's not awful and would be usable, in a hipster way. So ugly it's cute, nothing really dragging it down. It used to be stereotypically little-old-housewife-y, but I don't think it is any more.
Maud would also seem "ugly-retro-chic" and is usable. I think it's a little cute, even. I expect most people would hate it - that's what makes it seem so hipsterish. But it gets an air of spunkiness from sounding like "Mod," and also from Harold and Maude.
Opal is truly ugly IMO and gives me a very blowsy impression. But I guess it could probably be used in the hipster way too, since I think not everyone would say it was ugly, and it fits with the word name trend.
Any of them would be cool to see on my son's 4-year-old peers, but I really don't like Opal.

I love Opal, like Maud, and hate Eunice. The only Eu- name I can stomach is Eudora, now that I think about it. The Eun- sound in Eunice is particularly ugly.

Ugly, ugly, and ugly, BUT...
...they still carry clunky charm, like an old car that won't start. I'd say Maud is my favorite of the three, if I had to pick a favorite.
