I love it. It was one of my grandma's middle names. I am not sure of what to put with it though. I like the common English pronunciation and also the Greek (ev-YEH-nee-ah).

Even though I prefer Eugenie, Eugenia is very sophisticated and just as lovely. As for middle names, how about:

Eugenia Helena
Eugenia Zoë
Eugenia Catharina
Eugenia Zelda
Eugenia Louise
Eugenia Josephine
Eugenia Wilhelmina
Eugenia Melusine
Eugenia Chloë
Eugenia Theodora
Eugenia Arietta
Eugenia Stella
Eugenia Irene
Eugenia Justine
Eugenia Frances
Eugenia Aurora
Eugenia Laurence
Eugenia Ramona
Eugenia Claudette
Eugenia Inez
Eugenia Alexandrine

I find it hopelessly unattractive no matter the pronunciation (which is odd, because I like Eugene and Gene very much for boys)--and it comes off as rather Brit-chic and a tad pretentious to me.

If I met one, though, I might change my mind. Maybe. ;)

Eugenia Rachel
Eugenia Mary
Eugenia Mercy
Eugenia Ivy
Eugenia Laure
Eugenia Corinne
Eugenia Francine
Eugenia Marie
Eugenia Agnes
Eugenia Lucy
Eugenia Belle
Eugenia Beth
Eugenia Clare
Eugenia Constance
Eugenia Frances
Eugenia Helen
Eugenia Harriet
Eugenia Katharine
Eugenia Lillian
Eugenia Mabel
Eugenia Margot
Eugenia Margaret
Eugenia Ruth
Eugenia Tess

Any appeal to you? I think Eugenia Mercy could be very nice, myself.

Those are all great, thank you. I especially like Eugenia Corrine and Eugenia Mabel (Mabel is another recently added favorite of mine).

I prefer the yoo-JEE-nee-a prn., because the other prn. sounds too much like eugenics, IMHO.

I like the way you pronounce it. (I don't like it pro the other way at all)

Eugenia Ruth came to mind as did Eugenia Marie.

I like Marie, but I've never warmed up to Ruth.
