[Opinions] Eustacia

I know it brings to mand Stacy or Anastasia, but this is a name that my boyfriend had written down that he liked from a Thomas Hardy novel. We are pretty big hardy fans.

It reminds me of other Eu names like Eulalia or Eugenia...

What do you think of Eustacia?

Any good middle names?

I don't like it, when I was a kid there was a blue snake called Eustahije (pr.'eustah-eeye') in a cartoon and that's the only thing it makes me think.

I love Return of the Native and I love Eustacia. She is a fascinating character, but even without her the name is pretty awesome.

I immediately think of Eustachian Tubes (the tubes that connect your ears to your throat). But other than that it's not a bad name.

I prefer Eugenia however.

Ah, eustachian tubes, I learn something either way.

I like Eugenie, but not Eugenia, I'm odd, I guess.
