The Portuguese form of this name is Eurídice. It's mostly used in Brazil - it's rarely (if ever) used in Portugal. There was a recent Portuguese film called "A Vida Invisível de Eurídice Gusmão", in which it's the name of the titular protagonist, a Brazilian girl who aspires to be a pianist.

Personally I wouldn’t use it for a person but it’s good for a mythical character in a story! Also sounds very majestic.

What a beautiful name! Eurydice sounds stunning! The love story of Orpheus and Eurydice is very interesting. ❤

The Greek pronunciation of this name is ev-ree-THEE-kee. "Evie" could be a cute nickname.

I love this name. The myth is tragic, but I think the love Orpheus has for Eurydice is inspiring and (obviously) heart-wrenchingly romantic. The name itself has such a pretty sound to it, and the nickname Eury (yuri) could be cute for a little girl. Beautiful name.

Cleopatra Eurydike was the niece of one of King Phillip II's generals, Atallus, and one of Phillip's wives. When Phillip's other wife, Olympias, killed her children, she took her own life.

I prefer Eurydike because Eurydice doesn't sound so great in English.

I would like to use this. Unfortunately, I think of Creon's wife in Antigone. There are soooooooo many good names in that play but they are often ruined by association.

I don't think of Antigone as ruining the name by association. If anything, it gives you a good opportunity to teach the child classic literature, as well as giving them something to be proud of. How many of their friends will be able to pick up a piece of ancient literature and point to their names in the pages?

Eurydice is also the name of Creon's wife in the play Antigone. Near the end of the play, she kills herself after she hears that her son has killed himself.
