Orly?

[Sinople]

Ive only recently heard of it. It's meant to be unisex but i think i prefer it for a girl.
What do you think?

[LeMousquetaireAnonyme]

Airport!

[dilbertina]

Yes - airport, and having spent 4 hours on the Paris peripherique doing a journey that should take 30 mins max getting to it the other day, not an airport I'm particularly enamoured of!

[walesblackbird]

Orla ... but Orly is an airport.

[Sinople]

it's hebrew and means light of mine :)

[TobyLerone]

This is all I can think of.

[SloganLogan]

It sounds like a mixture of Orla and Carly.

[winnybella]

Sorry, but first thing that came to me was the Parisian airport.

[JanMorrow]

It's also internetz speak for "really". It does remind me of the airport or a nn for Orla though.

[JanMorrow]

snap with Toby

[pilates]

Airport, Orla much better.

[wigglesrock]

Agree with all previous posters and if heard it for a boy, I would think it short for Orlando.

[freerangeeggs]

ditto JanMorrow and TobyLerone :) It's an okay name though, hardly a bad reference

[birdofthenorth]

I'd go with Orla & call her Orla as a nn if you wish.

Or if you like the "or" sound you could think about Audrey, Cora, Autumn, Maudie...?

[birdofthenorth]

Or at s push Albany?

[PurpleStrawberry]

Beautiful name.

Orli is the original spelling though, which I prefer.

[PurpleStrawberry]

Oops - I clicked on post before finishing what I had to say!

I have a Jewish friend who is named Eliora, which means 'my God is light' and she goes by Orli for short.

Another form is Liora which has the same meanings as Orli ('my light, 'light is mine or 'I have light'', as it's the same Hebrew components Or and Li, just in reverse. Liora is the feminine of Lior.

Perhaps you could use Liora or Eliora and use Orli as a nn?

[squeak2392]

I really like it.
If she has a 3rd daughter, this will probably be my friends choice (she loved it until she found out about the airport - I'm working on her though )

Charles de Gaulle has a nicer ring to it.

[fishandlilacs]

It's nail polish www.amazon.com/Orly-Coffee-Break/dp/B0019R5XL4?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

[Primafacie]

How about
Heathrow
Stansted
La Guardia
Gatwick
Charles de Gaulle? Although this would probably work better on a boy.

[Sinople]

Im glad there's somewhere out there who agrees - Purple Strawberry! :)

[Sinople]

Orli?
Elora?
Ellora?

[BuntyPenfold]

I do like it, (anyhow it is better than de Gaulle :) which is dismal.)

[BelleStar]

I really like the name Orly. I'm familiar with Paris and also have a friend called Orly and never thought about the airport when I met her. (For her Orly is short for Orlanda).
