In honour of father’s day. What do you think of the name Sonora for a girl?

@cafedesreves

Reminds me of the song "Jump in the lime" by Harry Belafonte. "Shake, shake, shake Senora"
I always thought it was Senora as in “Mrs” in Spanish (so the lyric would be like shake shake shake woman!) but actually an earlier lyric is “My girl’s name is Senora, I tell you friends I adore her” - aside from the amazing rhyming, Senora must be an actual name.

‘Yes, It’s the new Hyundai Sonora hybrid. The Koreans really do make some good cars these days’.

I’m just in the process of naming my fantasy children btw. I need a name to go with fantasy dd1 called Apricity.
That sounds like a budget electric company

Oh Clifford your joke was lost on some. I liked it though Grin

Comedycook · 20/06/2021 21:48

I thought it sounded a bit like the name of a laundry detergent

Ringsender2 · 20/06/2021 21:45

Fathers day is totally made up. I’m glad it was made up by a young girl though, who probably did most of the raising of her brothers after her Mother’s death in childbirth yet she still wanted to honour her Dad.

Her mum was called Ellen Cheek Smart. Her family's names are really something.

lettie9 · 20/06/2021 14:54

Oh my god, OP I'm so sorry. I'm clearly totally uneducated. Everyone else, just google Sonora Smart Dodd. Thank you for the lesson in history Daffodil

lettie9 · 20/06/2021 14:52

I know! I keep saying Snora Smart Dodd out loud to myself to see if it's a phonetic joke. Like Scott Cheg sort of thing.

@lettie9

Who is 'she', and whose 'single dad' are we talking about? Is this an elaborate joke that everyone gets? 🤡
@lettie9
