What do you think of the name Azure for a girl? I adore Azzurra but I'm not Italian so that's out.

I think Azura is better than Azure

You don't have to be Italian. I know an Ariadne born in Scotland. Mum just heard the name on TV and liked it.

It’s a beautiful colour. Wouldn’t use it as a person’s name.

Agree with this - I've heard of Azura as a given name (this simpler spelling, I think it's very pretty), but Azure sounds slightly more harsh imo.

Azure sounds beautiful in French.

Not sure it sounds quite as nice in English though.

It sounds a bit like
"As yer were saying" in my accent 😁

In principle I think it is a lovely name BUT thanks to the Microsoft product of the same name it would be like calling a baby Excel Sad

Are you French? Because if you’re not, then what’s the difference with using Azzurra and not being Italian? If you are neither French or Italian, you might as well use Azzurra, the name you really like.

It’s not my taste but it’s not awful.

It just makes me think of Microsoft.

Not to my taste, could be tricky to say depending on accents, agree with pp, could end up as As yer.

In Italian I believe Azzurra would typically be said "Ad-dzurra"?

I met an Azusa the other day that's lovely.

It’s hard to say and will end up being pronounced as As-ya in a lot of accents, which probably isn’t what you want.

I'm not sure it really works as a name. How about Azalea?

Sounds like an aftershave.

Alesha Dixon’s DD is called Azura.

I prefer Azure, but they’re both beautiful.
