Really love the name Azalea for a girl, however is it too "weird" or "out there"?

I don't think it's too weird. It's not what I would choose but I actually like it. There are s lot more "out there" names!

It's too weird, like calling your child agapanthus or hydrangea.

It reminds me a little of the rapper and yes, is a bit out there but I think it's very pretty Smile

It's pretty and no more weird than Rose or Lily, objectively speaking. I like it Smile

Wouldn't say weird, I'd just say different to the usual floral picks.

I love it! There used to be a young girl in my church called Azalea. I don't think any name is to weird for the most part. Cheeseburger would not be a good baby name, but Azalea is not an unheard of name. I might not be the best judge on this however, I'm named after a gemstone!

It's not weird, just not very nice. Sorry.

I know an Azalea, which I think is lovely, but it often gets shorten to Azzy, which I think is grim.

I think it's nice, would shorten it to Zalie maybe, which sounds prettier than Azzie.

I think of Azalea Banks who is totally batshit.

Would like it if it didn't have that connection!

I like it. I think it's too out there for me to use personally (I'm such a bore) but if I met someone with the name, I wouldn't think it was too out there if that makes sense. It's very pretty. Go for it!!

Iggy Azalea and Azalea Banks are both horrible associations.

Dahlia is an uncommon flower name without the pop culture association.

I really like it. I have also seen the spelling Azelya.

Yes Miss Banks is a bad connotation.

Do you like Zinnia?
