I like this name. It reminds me of someone who would be strong and responsible.

I think of Eugene as being a smart, intellectual name, but not necessarily nerdy. Personally, I know a Eugene who is big, strong and definitely not nerdy. The name suits him well. I think people are just afraid to use this name today.

I like the name Eugene. Although I would use it as a middle name rather than a first name. It makes me think of a mature, smart (not necessarily "nerdy") and brave man.

It's not the worst name out there, but it is very old-fashioned. Just in case someone happens to have the name today, it would be funny if they made an album titled Eugenious. The sound of it would be a pretty funny pun. Too bad the music would surely be crap, ha ha.

Eugene Maurice Orowitz. He's probably better known as Michael Landon. He'll probably be remembered for ever as Little Joe (from Bonanza) and Jonathan (from Highway to Heaven). Too bad he's dead. He was a great guy, I hear.

The two things that come to mind when I hear this name are Eugene Meltzner (from Adventures in Odyessy) and the Pink Floyd song "Careful With that Axe, Eugene". If you are at least a little familiar with both, then you will know that these are completely unsimilar usages of the same name.

Eugène Ionesco (1909 - 1994), born Eugen Ionescu, was a French-Romanian playwright and dramatist, one of the foremost playwrights of the Theatre of the Absurd. Beyond ridiculing the most banal situations, Ionesco's plays depict in a tangible way the solitude of humans and the insignificance of one's existence.
