"You doxy!" As in, you know, prostitute. I've also seen Doxie used as a short form of Dachshund. So...prostitutes and wiener dogs. No.

I'm really starting to like Eu- names, too, but not this one. I don't have a preference between Eudoxie and Eudoxia; I think they're equally bad.

Not sure how or why I know this but the rapper Ludacri is married (or was, Im not sure) to a girl named Eudoxie. I'm assuming its said "uuh doxie" or "ooh doxie" (Im not sure if Im wording that right) but Im not a big fan of it, might be cute on a pet though.

I adore Eudoxia. I should love Eudoxie too. But it's making the old English word for a prostitute (a doxy) even harder to keep from my mind. I'm torn because I really, really want Doxie as a nn for Eudoxia and I get caught in this vicious circle of "Oh, it's so cute. But it's a prostitute. But no one will know that. But I will. But oh, it's so cute. . . . " Lather, rinse, repeat.

Given all of that I'm going to stick with Eudoxia. But if you aren't hampered by the old English thing then Eudoxie is a terrific find and you should enjoy it to the hilt. Eu- names are intoxicating and this one is no exception.

There is a Russian form of the name that is equally fetching, Evdokiya ("ev-duh-KEE-yuh") / Yevdokiya.
