Thoughts on Aphra for a girl?

As long as you are a fan of Aphra Behn and happy for people to ask/comment on that (as that's likely what most people will assume as it's an uncommon name). I think it's quite pretty and fits a nice niche - unusual yet still "fits in" style wise with all the "ah" ending 2 syllable names popular for her peers at the moment (Ava, Ayla, Ada, Lyra, Isla, Ella etc).

How do you say it? App Ra? Couldn't find the pronunciation just meaning on google

Really nice. Strong, great namesake, pleasant sound and would make a refreshing change from some of the usual suspects.

So long as you're not in Australia you'll be fine. APHRA is the regulatory body for health professionals

Oops. I mispelled the name. It's Aphra Behn.

Aphra? As in Aphra Ben? She was a famous playwright in her time. I love it. Inspirational name.

Sounds like Alpha. No from me, sorry.
