HelpAstraea, Eunomia, and Pandora
TammyS's post got me thinking. Pandora has long been a favourite but kind of got shoved out of the limelight. I've always thought Astraea was a pretty name, and I recently began liking it more. And Eunomia I never really considered until now, but I am really, really loving the sound of it.
So, what do you think about these three names? Do you have any middle name suggestions for me? Thank you!

I fell in love with Pandora when I saw a documentary on silent film. The pictures of Louise Brooks in the movie "Pandora" sealed the deal. Very positive association for me. And P names are not that plentiful. Pandora Sophie (a wise Pandora?), Pandora Delphine, Pandora Esme, Pandora Ines?
Astraea is not only lovely sounding, but the mythological story is wonderful. Goddess of justice giving up on humans because we are so hopeless? Sounds about right to me. Wonderful name for a girl born in Virgo. Astraea Celeste (too corny?), Astraea Diane, Astraea Sylvie, Astraea Camille?
Eunomia is new to me. I love many other "Eu-" names so this one is a neat discovery. Thanks. If the stress is on the "o," however, it doesn't sound that great to my ears. Do you know the pronunciation? Eunomia Meadow?

I like Astraea a lot! It's a pretty name. Pandora I can't stand. The way it sounds is really unattractive to me, and Eunomia just makes me think pneumonia (I'm not sure how Eunomia is pronunced though).

I'm not a fan of the sound of Pandora, and I think most people aren't very familiar with the story and think of it as an "evil" name. Astraea is pretty, but a bit airy for my tastes. Plus the 'aea' ending reminds me of Nevaeh, which is my name pet peeve. Eunomia has a pretty sound, but when I first saw it I thought of pneumonia. Euno would be gorgeous as a nn though.
ETA: Pandora also reminds me of singer Kimya Dawson who named her daughter Panda (which is a big GP of mine :P).
