I don't like it. It is not an attractive sounding name.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
I actually kind of like it. There were a couple of girls named Eunice who I went to college with, and they wore it well. (I think it was the Americanized version of the Korean name Eunsei.)
I love older names, my son is being named James, but I'm afraid Eunice is a bit of a stretch. Please keep in mind when she starts school, kids are vicious these days, they will find any reason to pick on a kid, and I fear Eunice is not going to help her. I'm not saying that you should go with a trendy name that's popular now, but something that's not going to encourage teasing. I'm sorry I hate to put down someone's name choice, but I'm afraid she's not going to appreciate it when she's older. Good luck!
I couldn't do it if it were my daughter. It's an old lady name that hasn't made the crossover to modern popularity like others have. Although it does have a positive connotation to Eunice Kennedy Shriver, I still don't think I could do it. I would use it as a middle name if it was to honor a loved one.
Re: Eunice as a name.
I LOVE it, but I acknowledge that I am in the minority on this.
I really like all of the Eu- names:
