Thoughts?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I meant, I like Allegra!

maggiethemagpie · 10/04/2014 21:56

I live Allegra

I find it very clunky, maybe because of the stress on the part "leg". Also makes me think 'ballet' and 'medication'. I don't hate it but I think there are nicer names.

Austin Allegro here too. I saw one the other day- most definitely the most monstrous-looking vehicle ever created. Sorry OP- obviously her comrades wouldn't have the first idea about Austin Allegros though....

Lovely name!

To everyone referencing the allergy tablets, it's not like naming your child Piriton, is it? Because Piriton isn't a name.

Much more like naming your child Flora, which is a household product, but a name too.

Make me think of Allegra Versace who suffers terribly with anorexia nervosa and also ballet (allegro) because I used to dance.

ImperialBlether · 06/04/2014 18:54

HolidayCriminal, Why on earth would you call a child by a beautiful classical name but spell it wrongly?

Devora · 06/04/2014 18:50

Really nice

Wishfulmakeupping · 06/04/2014 18:45

I like it but oh says it reminds him of the crappy car? I don't know either

magentasurprise · 06/04/2014 18:42

I think it's lovely!

WolfMoon · 06/04/2014 16:32

I love Allegra. I always wanted to call my daughter that, I now have two DDs but DH wasn't keen!

Beautiful name!

MagratGarlik · 05/04/2014 21:19

Immediately made me think Austin Allegro. Another '70s child....

PandaWatch · 05/04/2014 21:15

I love it. On my list for future possible dd! :)

I worried how it would come over in the US because of the allergy medication but the beautiful rich girl in the Will Smith film Hitch is called Allegra so I guess it's not unheard of!

overthemill · 05/04/2014 19:42

Yep! Austin Allegra was first thing that sprang to mind onesleep. 1970s I'm guessing

I like it but I like European names generally

MyNameIsSuz · 05/04/2014 19:39

I love it! Also never heard of the tablets, I think you'd be fine.

Could have a brother called Austin (shows age). Grin
Actually I really do like it.

Sorelip · 05/04/2014 19:32

I like it a lot.

Aldwick · 05/04/2014 19:30

I know a 4 year old Allegra - she is a very serious bookish little thing and somehow it really suits her

HolidayCriminal · 05/04/2014 19:29

I like it, very familiar to me. I was explaining to DS the other night that Happy really can be a valid name. I would spell it with one L.

Innogen · 05/04/2014 19:26

Is my DDs name, I love it. It means happy.

Lovely name and meaning. Never heard of any tablets with that name.

aGirlDownUnder1 · 05/04/2014 04:26

Gorgeous name
