I quite like it, but more as a middle name.

Quite so MadameCasta - i think Minerva is great too! But I like the biblical association with Aquilla that Minerva doesn't have.

Aprilla/Aquilla - they are all crap!

Maybe you could get Aquilla and Minerva together when they are older!

givethedogahomebirth, oh dear, this is my main concern too (sounding like a girls name), I hoped it may not get picked up so soon...

If you really like it, how about using it as a middle name. Not for a first name

It's a bit...odd.

How do you pronounce it?

Ak-ill-ah? Ah-kee-ah? Ak-will-ah?

I don't like it at all - what is wrong with real names these days?
