Baby was due yesterday Hmm
Could be a boy or a girl.
What do you all think of Gloria for a girl?

Sorry, but I really dislike it. I know a lovely Gloria in her late thirties and I think it's really old fashioned on her as well.

I think it's terrible. I have a relative with this name. She is very pleasant but I find it hard to get past the name.

Love it.

I imagine a woman in her 60s who is glam with long red nails and throaty laugh. Has had a tough life but is very warm hearted and kind. I like it. I can't imagine someone with that name not being nice.

My DH used to have an 'Aunty Glory' (Gloria) it always sounded exotic and glamorous to me, although I never met her.

I know other older Glorias and their names are often shortened to 'Glor' though, which is horrible.

Gloriana is fabulous though!

And she may be here by now.....

Congratulations!

Its gorgeous and much much more appropriate for a Christmas baby than the ubiquitous "holly".

I also think of the fascinating girl and woman friend I have known all my life. She's in her 30's now and is supremely confident and clever.

Call her Gloria and you won't regret it Smile

Oh oh! Congratulations! Sorry I missed that post! (Gloria for the next on eh?) Wink

Horrible

Jinty64 · 27/12/2013 19:24

Congratulations - now, I really like Benjamin.
