TV CHARACTER NAME OF INTEREST: Pandora

"Have you ever entertained in front of a view like this?"

"Have you?"

"Sometimes I come out here and entertain myself."

"That's very naughty of you Pandora."

"Pandora's my colleague. I stole you from her. My name's Cherry." 

⬆ Flirty conversation in the tv miniseries The Girlfriend, between characters ๐Ÿ’Cherry (played by Olivia Cooke) who poses as her co-worker ๐ŸŽPandora (played by Marina Bye) and a property client. With how provocative ๐Ÿ’Cherry's character is, her name should be ๐ŸŽPandora instead! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ‍♀️

๐Ÿ“›๐ŸŽPandora is a very controversial name to name a woman.๐ŸŽPandora means: "all gifts", derived from a combination of Greek ฯ€แพถฮฝ (pan) meaning "all" and ฮดแฟถฯฮฟฮฝ (doron) meaning "gift". In Greek mythology Pandora was the first mortal woman. Zeus gave her a jar containing all of the troubles and ills that mankind now knows, and told her not to open it. Unfortunately her curiosity got the best of her and she opened it, unleashing the evil spirits into the world.๐ŸŽPandora's alternate name is: ๐Ÿ“›Anesidora meaning, "she who sends up gifts."

Nameberry says on ๐ŸŽPandora being used in modern times for baby girls: "๐ŸŽPandora is riding the wave of mythological names used for babies after centuries of being confined to legend." 34 baby girls were named ๐ŸŽPandora last year.  

I'm surprised ๐Ÿ˜ฎ there's even women today named ๐ŸŽPandora with the not-so-great mythology behind her name. I genuinely wonder ๐Ÿค” how parents made the bold decision to name their daughter after a woman who brought evil into the world, according to Greek mythology... ๐Ÿ˜–

Now beyond the history of ๐ŸŽPandora's name, it's a really nice name I admit. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพ‍♀️ ๐Ÿ“›๐ŸŽPandora is a name like the Bible's ๐Ÿ“›Eve ๐Ÿ“›Delilah or ๐Ÿ“›Jezebel  pretty but problematic because of the unladylike history behind the names unfortunately. 

I personally wouldn't want to have the name ๐ŸŽPandora or would I ever think of naming a daughter it   but I can see why some parents would give their daughter such a debatable name – perhaps in hopes their daughter is different, better than the whispers behind the name... I would hope.
