I don’t like the way it looks but enjoy the sound of it. Gives me sort of nature/ pixie vibes, strangely.
I dont like it
Not my cup of tea unfortunately. Reminds me of odd sounding medieval/renaissance music for some reason.
I don't know if this pronunciation is correct- actually, it probably isn't- but I can't help but hear "your idiocy", when I say this name.
So, I don't care for it.

I pronounce it yur-e-DIS-ee, with the I in the third syllable being a long I. The first syllable is identical to "your" and the third syllable is identical to "dice", if that's the pronunciation you're thinking of.
That sounds like 'yer dicey' to me.
I was just thinking of this name not too long ago after listening to the musical album. I think it is nice. Pronunciation and spelling issues, definitely, but I don't think that is a problem. It just flows off the tongue so well, too, and doesn't need a nickname.
It sounds nice but the myth is kind of depressing.
I adore it! It's ravishing.

oops, meant to reply to OP
I've loved it for about two decades, but I think it's maybe hard to pull off. It's...audacious, ephemeral, whimsical, and stern.
It seems a little bit like Daphne, Persephone, Ophelia, except it's more fun to say, and the meaning's cooler.
I'm also reminded a bit of Electra, Olympia, Ariadne.
I pronounce it with a hard C in my head, so if it was pronounced in English with a soft C, that'd seem weird to me.
