Help[Opinions] Eunice
Thoughts on Eunice? How do you pronounce it? This seems to be a pretty well hated name. I pronounce it as yoo-neese.

As a personal name, I'd say You-niss. As a (very distinguished, where I live) girls' school, it's you-NEE-see. I wouldn't use it myself, but it's perfectly acceptable.

In the USA the name is now rare. It's been mostly used the last few decades by Korean-Americans to name daughters, because Eun or Yoon is a common syllable in Korean names so it links by sound with their own culture.

I pronounce it YOO-nis. For me it's inextricable from the one Eunice I knew, who had a very large personality, so it's hard to really have an opinion on it as a name. Generally I'm not fond of the Eu sound, though.

I pronounce it "yoo-niss"
It's not a bad name, it's quite old-fashioned but I don't mind it, though I probably wouldn't use it myself.
