I love Eurydice. I used to know a woman my age named Eurydice. I'd like Eurydice Frances, if that were on the list.

I love Eurydice, although I prefer the Spanish/Portuguese form Eurídice (the previous president of Brazil's mother was named Eurídice).

Eurydice Althea is a striking name, and Eurydice is a beautiful name, if I scrape away the awkward sound connotation- for some reason the "rid" and the "you" sound together makes me feel awkward when saying it, but past that it is a nice name.

I like the sound but I think it looks a little bit strange. Also I think a lot of people would pronounce it wrong (yuri-dice perhaps), although that's not a massive problem.Eurydice Violet is my favourite of your suggestions.I wouldn't use it as a first name, but it would make a nice middle name. That way the potential spelling and pronounciation problems aren't so bad.
