Girls name Sepora

[Gladitsgladys]

I’m due a baby girl in September. I really like the name Sepora and think it’s quite unique. DH hates it! Am I being aibu here?

Like the shop?

Make me think you're a fan of the cosmetics brand Sephora. Her sister will be Maybelline.

Well it's very close to Sephora, a discount beauty brand.

I wouldn't.

I thought of the make up as well . There’s a Spanish girls name sefora it means life apparently . I don’t think it’s nice name sorry op

From the title I assumed you meant Sephora but had mistyped.

Is Sepora a made-up name? I think it's sounds awful, sorry. More like a brand of cleaning products than a girl's name.

"Can't get rid of that grease on your pans? Just use Sepora and they'll be sparkling in a flash".

Yes, instantly think Sephora. That's a no. Unless you are planning siblings Superdrug and Boots.

Sorry but it looks like a misspelling of the make up shop.

Please don't do that to your child.

I’d just think it was after the shop. And the “pora” sound isn’t that nice just sounds like “pore”

It makes me think of custard separating (no idea why!) Or pores on the nose. So it's a no for me

I love the Biblical name Zipporah if that’s any good?

Why not just use Zipporah?

It's also just a bit too similar to Zoflora for me OP, sorry

I thought of the shop.too. sorry but it's a silly name for a girl to be lumbered with. She'll probably get called sepsis by the mean kids for a start.

Is it an existing name somewhere in the world? If it's culturally significant to you, fair enough.
If you've made it up though, you can do better! 😆
What about Sapphira?

I.thought of the death metal band Sepultura.

How about Seraphina / Serafina or Soroya or Serena?

I must be an old fogey because I’ve never heard of the make-up brand so no associations there for me.
But sorry no, although I do like unusual names it just doesn’t sound very pretty to me

Well it's very close to Sephora, a discount beauty brand.

Sephora's not a discount beauty brand - it's just a store that stocks a whole range of beauty brands under one roof. It's not discount stuff.

Agree that I would immediately think of Sephora if someone told me their child's name was Sepora though.

Even Sapphira sounds like a YouNique spelling of Sapphire, or a model of car.

Nope terrible name

I think it’s a lovely name

my name was considered strange when I was young and I wanted to be called Cherie. But then my friend Claire didn’t like her name either but it was very popular (she still doesn’t but I love my name)

An online discount beauty brand. Or you could have Maybeline, or Lotus or Lakme or Lush or L'oreal whichever you think goes with the surname?

Was thinking along the same lines.

Has anyone ever called their child Tesco, or Sainsbury. I imagine Boots is a definite though

Oh no don't
