I'm not, no. But I was having this discussion with someone the other day. I put it to them that the name Pandora would conjure up schoolyard bullying along the lines of something to do with Pandora's Box. But maybe it's just me.
No, not just you Dave. Was the first thing that came to my mind. As someone who had to suffer through school with the middle name of Gay I would advise people to be considerate when naming their offspring! Ros
In and of itself, I think it's a pretty name. But why stick a child with a name that is so loaded with negative meaning, and just begging to be joked about?

Is it any worse than other names modern parents are calling their kids? I think not. - Dave

I don't know why but I think Bogan.
YUK!
If not Pandora how about Cleopatra?
Don't see any schoolyard bullying problems with cleopatra...
Would be a nice middle name but a not-so-nice first name.
