Eunice

[AnyDream]

Ok, so I'm not having a baby or anything, but saw this name today and thought, gee that's pretty.

In the same article I also saw the name Aurelia, and thought that was lovely too.

What do you think?

DH's grandmother was Eunice and she was a real battle-axe ROFL so I would be put off using the name myself (not to mention MIL would disown us she didn't like her MIL at all) But it is a nice name. I have always liked Aurelia but it's a name I don't think I'd ever convince DH to have.

My grandmother was a Eunice. She died before I was born, so I never met her, but my Dad always speaks of her fondly - so that makes me like the name .

Aurelia is beautiful too.

I like Aurelia - it's pretty. Personally I dont' like Eunice (even though I like most Bible names) because I had a sheep named Eunice the Ewe and that's all I can think of (word association) My DH has an Aunt whose name was Eunice but she hated it and changed it to Janice when she was an adult.

my gran was unice and she was the loveliest woman I have ever known so yes I like the name dont personally think I would use it perhaps as a middle name

I think its a nice name.

Theres a name in Arabic that is pronounced similarly, but its for a boy. Yunus (sometimes spelt Yoonus) is the arabic version of the name Jonah. just thought i would let you know

MamaP - nope definitely not going there! But I like to think (after recently inspiring a BB username change ) that I could leave the legacy of inspiring some new bubba names somewhere in our BB community! LOL

I used to really like it, before I was married. Prefer Edith or Enid now, goes better with our surname. Mum hates both, big plus (not that I want to annoy her, it's just that she has terrible taste in everything)
I love the name Aubrey for a boy - discovered it at about the same time.

Snuggly - Enid was at the top top top of my list but DH wouldn't have a bar of it so we got an Elisabeth instead. Enid has a nicer meaning than Edith.

[MamaPan]

Yep I know a couple of Ediths now - it seems to be getting more usage... A few ppl i know have Edith's that they called Edie for short - pretty gorgeous! (though Edith isnt a name that I woudl use personally but I like it on these bubs)
MD I didnt think so but i thought... well if a woopsie has happened....
LOL!

[MamaPan]

Maybe one of us should call our next baby girl Marydean.. now THAT would be a naming legacy!!!

[Yael]

I think Aurelia is gorgeous.

Eunice makes me think of an old strict spinster... Somebody said it was a biblical name, but i don't know it - can somebody tell me a source so i can see what it is in Hebrew?

[JordieC]

Eunice to me is - YUK!!! Sorry!

Aurelia is nicer but still a bit frilly for my liking!

[sneakysparkle]

Yael - Eunice was Timothy's mother (New Testament) so I think it may be Greek

MD - I love the name Eunice - was my Grandmothers name.I wanted to use it as a middle name but DH wasnt keen.
I prefer the traditional pronunciation of You-nee-see to You-niss

Thats my Grandmum Rach is talking about.. her name was Unice Rose. so yeh I like the name too.. I personally wouldn't use it as it is a little to old fashioned for me

[smiles4u]

Oh dear MD your will dislike me forever here BUT my DP made a joke once a long time ago about the name Eunice and i've never forgotten it ... let's just say it was something about " Your A@*s " (yes to do with a bottom part) ... eeeekk so sorry but i just had to point it out !!!

.... I love Aurelia , very, very pretty !!!!
