So here’s the dilemma; I absolutely adore [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] as a name, and have loved it for so long I can’t really imagine naming my (future) daughter any other name. I have tried to find another name I love just as much, and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is a strong contender, but it just doesn’t really match up.
Obviously teasing potential is pretty high with [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] because of the myth, but what worries me most is teenagers/ young people/peers using '[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]‘s Box’ as a more sexual phrase. Like 'I just opened [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]‘s box’ or '[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]‘s box is always wide open’ etc. I’m hoping no-one would have any reason to say things like this, particularly the latter, but I’m a bit unsure. I didn’t even think of it in this way before, but I don’t know if it would be okay in real life, or if it would be a really major issue. I’m fine with the connection to the myth, but are the sexual jokes/comments just too much [name_m]IRL[/name_m]? Would it be mean to name a child [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] as a result (only based on the comments)? All hypothetical as usual, but I’d love it if I could get some opinions, even if it’s just yes or no. 
Thank you!

There’s some slight teasing potential. But when it comes to the sexual jokes and gossip, teenagers don’t need a name that lends itself to punny comments. As name concerns go, this would be lower on my list than most, partly because any daughter would be older once this type of teasing occurred and partly because this particular type of teasing, if it happens, would almost certainly have happened no matter what her name was.
I think [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] is the equivalent of naming your daughter [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. It comes with the “women caused the downfall of humankind” myth…but it’s not really that big of a deal if it doesn’t bother you personally. I haven’t heard it used sexually and I am in my early 20’s.
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] is a lovely name. I love the nn Panda. I considered putting it on my list for a while (and posted a thread about it). I like the myth connection. I have never heard [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]'s Box used as a sexual reference, and I’m a teenager, so I’ve heard a bunch. The reason I decided it was too unusable was because of [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] bracelets and [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] radio. I think the association with those companies is too strong right now. But maybe those associations will fade and it will be more usable later!
Thanks for the comments, they’re very reassuring! I did think I might be over reacting a bit, no one in my school gets teased about anything like their name, but I wanted to check. I think I found one comment on a site about it, and just freaked out. I’m not too fussed about the other associations, especially the radio one, because I’ve never heard of it, and none of my friends have either, so I just don’t think it’s very popular here (or we’re just very out of touch). I am glad that I’ve got 10 plus years for them to fade a bit though! 
I think once you actually have to name a baby, you will decide if you just love the name so much, you’ll give it to her despite the teasing potential (doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen) or if you’d rather stay on the safe side.
Until then I wouldn’t worry to much about it. Keep it on your list, think about how much you love the name and the idea of a future daughter named [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] and enjoy playing around with it in combos.
Well, I think you will be fine naming her [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]. I don’t think it is any different than [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] (means lost) and the connection someone made to [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I think it is beautiful. Go for it!
