Eustacia
What're your opinions on this name? It's the feminine form of Eustace, and as such means either "stable, well-built" or "fruitful". I learned of this name when Holden Caulfield mentions Eustacia Vye from The Return of the Native. Eustacia Vye is also the name of a beautiful rose!

I don't really like it but I think it's at least better than Eustace which sounds rather odd and stuffy.

The first Eustacia I came upon was the Eustacia in Jenny Nimo's a twist in time. It left a bad impression on me, though not for long. I like Eu- names very much, and Eustacia is no exception. I also like Stacy. I like Eustacia.

I like it, prefer Eustasia.

It's the Eu- that I don't really like, so no, I guess it just isn't my cup of tea.

I like Stacia by itself.

I used to love Eustacia and I still like it, it's just not my favorite anymore. We are in the minority though I was told a lot that people generally do not find it attractive unfortunately

It's one of my favorite names! It's so pleasurable to say.
