This name is complete garbage. If you are named "Eugene" please just go by Gene or some other shorter, nicer sounding, better name. This is honestly one of the worst names a person can have. I pretty much barf at the sound of "Eugene".

Eugene is a very common name in Korea. And the funny thing is, here we regard 'Eugene' as a girl's name. It's totally girly! If you see a male have this name, we get a awkward feeling like as if a boy have a name like 'Lily' or 'Olivia'. And like I said in the beginning, it's a very common name so you can see this name often. I also have lots of friends who's name is Eugene like Eugene Han, Eugene Bak, Eugene Jo, Eugene Jeon... and so on. They're all girls, of course. :) Although it's common, I liked this name very much cause It sounds pretty.
And one day I saw 'Tangled' and I find it so cool that Flynn Rider's real name is Eugene! I was quite surprised that foreign countries use a name 'Eugene' too (I've never been abroad) and at the fact the name suits a man very well. So I searched the name, and that brought me here. It's still interesting to know western countries use this name for boys though.

It's not the worst name out there, but it is very old-fashioned. Just in case someone happens to have the name today, it would be funny if they made an album titled Eugenious. The sound of it would be a pretty funny pun. Too bad the music would surely be crap, ha ha.
