Well, since Pandora is an unusual name, most people only have heard of it in connection to the myth. Therefore, yes, I think most people will always associate it with the myth.

However that doesn't make the name unusable. It just means that the parent would have to decide whether they like and appreciate the connection or find it annoying.

We hated the Silence of the Lambs connection to the name Clarice... and we ended up using Clarisse and making sure we knew of some other references for the name - like Rudolph's girlfriend in the Christmas Claymation series, The Princess Diaries connection, and the Clarice in the Percy Jackson series.

---

In the case of Pandora - there is also the Pandora Radio, Pandora bracelets, and there are a couple of actresses and literary characters named Pandora as well.

---

Pandora Gail would be lovely as a combo.

---

Some others:
Pandora Louise
Pandora Willow
Pandora Linnet
Pandora Madeline
Pandora Therese
Pandora Isabelle
Pandora Joyce
Pandora Elise
Pandora Danielle
