A good friend is expecting and just messaged to ask me what I think of this name..... She has met someone while on holiday with a daughter with this name and loves it. Do I give my honest opinion (it's awful!) or not? Is it just me...? I don't think I even like either name separate. Do I lie? Say I'm not keen but it's her choice? Or suggest something else?
It's such an odd name. Would she be known as just Allura or the full, onomatopoeic combo?

It would fit in quite nicely with Alfie and Archie from the other thread.

I'd maybe think it's autocorrected from something else? Bit blunt to
Ask, but maybe it would make the point?

Can you forget to reply? Or just change the subject "reminds me of sleeping beauty. Have you been watching .....?"

I would never criticise anyone's name ideas, but would struggle to lie if directly asked.

And her twin, Kia Aura?

Gosh, that's a bit of a mouthful isn't it?

If she's asked you opinion I reckon you can tell her exactly what you think. Good luck!

Well, there won’t be many of those in a class. That’s the most positive spin I can think of.
