HelpRe: Eudora
in reply to a message by beethoven
I like it a lot. I would only use it for a daughter with the intention of calling her Dory, but on someone else Eudora itself is fine. It's not really as stuffy sounding as I think it seems on paper. I heard someone calling a girl of about 9 "Eudora" at the park, last year or the year before. It sounds typical yuppie antique, but a little bit less safely fashionable than names like Matilda or Phineas or Violet ... more along the lines of Olive.
I don't make combos much but right now I'm inclined to put it with Lucille. Eudora Lucille. Or maybe Camille.

Phineas is fashionable?

Yeah. Isn't it? It's not common, for reasons I think are obvious, but I have the impression that the style of it is still sort of hip. Like Thaddeus. Remember Julia Roberts' twins Phinnaeus and Hazel? Eudora seems to me like it'd have a dowdier image. Although I personally think Hazel and Phineas and Matilda are dowdier than Eudora, I'd expect most people to feel the opposite way. Don't know why.

I don't pay much attention to movie stars, so I had no idea what children she had. Phineas makes me think of a cartoon my brother likes to watch. It sounds more dorky than fashionable imo.
