I like it. It has a light, airy feeling to it. My favorite "Eu" name is Eugenia/Eugenie, but Eunice is nice too. Have you considered Euphemia (Effie)?

I agree that it's a bit old-lady sounding to me, (it's my grandfather's sister's name) but there are far worse things you could do to a child. Plus when she's 80 at least her name will be appropriate and not something like, um, I don't know, Nevaeh. :)I also really like Athena, but I'm partial to mythology names.

Sorry, but I think Eunice is a very ugly sounding name - not at all pretty. I also think of the word eunuch. "No one. He's no one. Distant cousin of my Aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice. Eunuch." - Jack Sparrow of The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl.I do like the name Teresa (that spelling only), but I don't think that combo flows - the letters clash with one another.From the other names, I'd prefer Grace with Gracie as a nickname, but only as a middle name.

I think it's really nice, it's not really my style, but putting that aside for a moment, I think it'goes really well together!From the other choices, I only like Gracie but more as a nn for Grace than on it's own.~Lully Lulla~

I think Eunice is a bit too old-ladyish for me, Eugenie is a better alterative I think Shiloh - good name but has too many dog-associations for me, plus I think Miss Claire said for Jewish people it is like calling your son Jesus? Or something similiar
Gracie - cute but only as a nn for Grace
Athena - nice middle name, prefer AtheneAlice
Favourite names are: Henry Atticus, Fleur Noelle, Lyra Isabel, Anouk Iris, Freya Lily, Coral Alice, Manon Sophie and Ama DaisyProud big sister to Sophie and Isabel

I think it's on the verge of being a nice name, but just doesn't make it yet, for me. I do love both Eugenie and Eulalie, though.
