Got a feeling this might divide mumsnet! My husband suggested it. I like it but it's unusual and wonder what people think of it?

Thanks for the feedback. I hate to catagorise names but I do think of it as a bit posh. We're definitely not posh.
Im not sure if ppl would have an issue with that... Trying too hard or something silly if we do decide on Allegra.

Yes I vaguely remember Vanessa fletz having a daughter called Allegra.
I actually love Vanessa feltz....not sure anyone would agree with me!

Lovely name, I know one at the local school, seem like an 'ordinary' family, not posh.

isn't the antihistamine Allergan.
I like it, but she'll be Legs.

I like it. It's quite 'posh' to my ears. A pretty name that will grow with her.

It’s medication where I’m from, rhymes with Viagra.

Beautiful name, I love it!

NameChange84 · 09/09/2019 15:19

Love it.

Lavenderblues · 09/09/2019 15:19

I like it.

Not sure why you couldn't 'pull it off' or what qualities one needs to do so?!

Hannah021 · 09/09/2019 15:14

no, too earthy imo

Frith2013 · 09/09/2019 15:12

It’s ok. I vaguely remember it’s the name of Vanessa Feltz’s daughter.

Better than pellegra.

It has a beautiful sound and meaning, but it’s also an antihistamine - not sure if here in the UK though? If it’s not then go for it

Yes know what you mean about it being horsey
We're definitely not from high society... Not sure we can pull it off in that case x

FantasticPhyllis · 09/09/2019 14:37

I like it

Tillygetsit · 09/09/2019 14:36

I really like it. Strong and a bit horsey.
