Amoura? I really love it, but I think everyone will hate it, not that I am too fussed ( not even pregnant yet :) )

Awful

Have to agree with squoosh on the massage parlour name, sorry.

MissWimpyDimple · 19/01/2015 21:30

No sorry it's terrible. Is it made up?

Maura, or indeed Moira, might be alternatives? Its nice, though I wouldn't use it myself due to potential spelling problems. My dad has a welsh name and told me once he purposefully chose "normal" English names for us because he didn't want us to experience a lifetime of correcting people.

It's gonna inspire a lot of puns.

LetticeKnollys · 19/01/2015 21:26

I think it sounds pretty, though if I heard it out loud I would guess the spelling to be 'Amora'.

Reekypear · 19/01/2015 21:25

Woulda you like some amoura pasta ( In a dolmio type accent ).

Figster · 19/01/2015 21:25

Sorry don't like it and yup will spend her whole life spelling it for people and pronouncing it .

squoosh · 19/01/2015 21:24

It sounds like the name of a massage parlour that offers extras.

IHeartKingThistle · 19/01/2015 21:22

Yeah I pretty much hate it but I wouldn't listen to me Grin

I think it is a lovely name, far better than calling her a name that every other child has Smile
