Keziah and Calla are nice but my favourite is Aphra. Not keen on the others sorry. Would Appollonia/Apolline be shortened to Apple? Confused

indigo13 · 27/07/2017 21:58

Calla - no, doesnt sound like a name
Apollonia - no

Apolline - yes, very nice
Sunniva, - sounds asian, any connections? No anyway
Leonor - no because Lenor
Aphra - yes cool
Gloria- no, stuffy and dated
Keziah - no, awful
Cyra - no, looks odd
Evanna - yes, classy and lovely

Ojoj1974 · 27/07/2017 21:54

I'm really sorry but they are all awful. They sound made up and ridiculous. Confused

Mothervulva · 27/07/2017 21:53

Keziah

SuperBeagle · 27/07/2017 21:50

The only one I like is Keziah.

Leonor would be better if it was Leonora.

Liadain · 27/07/2017 21:48

Honestly, the not being able to buy a mug with a name on would be a bonus imo. You can always get a custom one anyway Smile

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 27/07/2017 20:37

I've known a couple of Keziahs and I love it. Not so keen on the others.

LemonBreeland · 27/07/2017 20:10

I love Calla, not keen on the others

sonlypuppyfat · 27/07/2017 20:08

You will never be able to buy her a mug with her name on

myusernameisnotmyusername · 27/07/2017 20:06

Sorry they're all terrible.

Rainatnight · 27/07/2017 20:05

I LOVE Aphra. DP vetoed it for DD Sad

Backhometothenorth · 27/07/2017 20:04

Love Aphra and Gloria!

Mrsknackered · 27/07/2017 19:36

I like Keziah. Leonora is better IMO. I don't like Aphra but I know it gets good attention on here. In my defence, I've only known one and she was a horrible snob.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/07/2017 19:30

Some beautiful names there.
Calla
Apolline
Aphra
Keziah
Evanna
❤️ all of these.
Sunniva is pretty too.
Not too keen on Gloria, although I know a very classy lady, with this name, so it could grow on me.
I don't like Cyra or Leonor.
I saw the name Lovisa on here recently, I think it's very nice.

supersix · 27/07/2017 19:23

Love Calla. One of my DC was going to be Calla but he was a boy so now rocks Callan!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 27/07/2017 19:09

Gloria. Brilliant name (not mine, sadly...) Well due a revival! **

Missingmyrioja · 27/07/2017 19:08

Calla - not keen
Apollonia (or Apolline?) - not keen
Sunniva, - nice
Leonor - nice but I prefer Leonora as Leonor reminds me of Lenor
Aphra - ok
Gloria- very cool. The bravest choice for me.
Keziah - I dislike most K names sorry
Cyra - dislike
Evanna - very nice

I like your style

Argeles · 27/07/2017 18:58

Apolline and Calla are lovely.

implantsandaDyson · 27/07/2017 18:51

I know an Evana (just one 'n'), I quite like it, I wasn't sure when I first heard it but it has really grown on me. From your list I think my favourite is Sunniva. Apart from Sunniva and Evana the others would be quite far down a list although I like Leonora.

bridgetreilly · 27/07/2017 18:43

There definitely should be more Aphras!

I like Keziah, too.

early30smum · 27/07/2017 18:42

I like Keziah, not keen on the others.

BackforGood · 27/07/2017 17:43

Of those, I think Gloria is the best.
However, I really don't like the name Gloria.

RhubardGin · 27/07/2017 17:29

Calla is pretty, reminds me of the lily but the rest are pretty bad.

junebirthdaygirl · 27/07/2017 17:27

Familiar with Keziah and Evanna and Gloria so all those sound nice. All the others dont appeal to me .

Synecdoche · 27/07/2017 17:22

I like Aphra a lot.

Is Cyra pronounced with a hard or soft c? If it's a hard C I like it too Smile
