Could be a boy or a girl.
What do you all think of Gloria for a girl?

It's nice. One of the characters in s F Scott Fitzgerald book. I can't remember which and his characters were always a bit flawed but I've liked the name since then.

Love it, I know a Gloria she is utterly wonderful glorious in fact

She's nearly 17 now!

Rindercella · 22/12/2013 20:51

Gloria is a marvellous name. But it does make me want to burst into

Rindercella · 22/12/2013 20:52

Good luck by the way Prammy Xmas Smile

I think it sounds a bit dated, but I'm not really sure why. I don't dislike it but I don't like it either (which means I'm no help, essentially...) If you like it, go for it!

Wonderful, especially for a Christmas baby!

SavoyCabbage · 22/12/2013 21:17

Love it! There's a Gloria in dd's school. She's about 11.

squoosh · 22/12/2013 21:33

I love it! Strong, feisty name.

hawkmcqueen · 22/12/2013 21:35

Glorious! Really rounded name with fab meaning.

Confuseddd · 22/12/2013 21:36

Love it

Mishmashofstyles · 22/12/2013 21:39

Beautiful.
I will add it to my list of wonderful names I sadly can't use because I'm not having any more.

DancingLady · 22/12/2013 21:40

Considered this for dd, after Gloria Steinem. It's a lovely name, strong and unusual. In the end we decided it was too old-lady tho. Still like it!

Love it! It is dated, but in a retro-chic kind of way. Very, very cool. Are you a hipster?

mum2jakie · 22/12/2013 22:11

Sorry but I think it is a truly unpleasant old-fashioned (and not in a good way) name. I would hate to have been given that name. Unlikely to be many other Glorias in the school year though!

tiamariaxxx · 22/12/2013 22:49

I actually quite like it very unusual havent heasrd of any Glorias in children
