Ages and ages ago I named a character in a story Alexandra Eos. What do y'all think of it? (Eos is the Greek goddess of the dawn, FYI.)

Love Alexandra, but I don't like Eos, especially with Alexandra. There are just too many vowels or something.

I like the name of the Roman Goddess of the dawn better, Aurora. Though it doesn't go with Alexandra.

I, for one, love it.

Nice :)

I like using names that have specific meanings for characters, even if the character was named by someone else (ie fanfic, or actual historical figure) then I'll try and work something in if it fits.
Not which came first; the writing or the onomastic geekery :)

I am so tired of Alexandra. Nothing can help that name.

I used to work with a guy names Enos. That's what it reminds me of. lol.

And I like Alexandria Dawn, actually.
