Allegra

[DaisyBug1212]

I think i really like this (indecisive!) as its pretty but slightly unusual. What do ther people think? Just want to gage the general response to it! thanks x

Really beautiful, bit too aristocratic for my own child but it's really gorgeous.

Reminds me of the anti-histamine. Sorry

My tiny gripe is that I look it at written down and for some reason I see " "allergy".

But think that is cos' I am currently writing a report on food intolerance issues.

I like it in think it may be a marmite name but IMO its fab I like Arabella which I think has a similar vibe but is softer

Makes me think of allergies sorry!

Arabella is lovely though

I saw Algebra when I first read it.

That's even worse

Love it! Agree it is a bit marmite but if you like it I say go for it...the world would be a very boring place if we were all called the same thing.

i love arabella too!

Wasn't there a car called an Austin Allegra - that's whay comes to mind for me.

Bit older here - please don't have a son called 'Austin'.

And yes, I do know it's actually allegro.

Id never heard of it before until the other day when the will smith film hitch was on TV in the background and Alberts love interest was called Allegra Cole and i just thought it was pretty.

Nope, i have a daughter called Tilly no Austin's! i started another thread asking for baby name suggestions for boys and girls to go with tilly please feel free to post any suggestions there - im desperate! x

I really like Allegra, cool and classy with a bit of zap.

Nice but I prefer Electra which is similar

Aurora is solar also.

I find Allegra quite harsh sounding, but I do like Arabella.

Makes me think of the car

Nice name but I like names kept unshortened.

I guess somebody could shorten this one to Ally or Leggy though.

I really don't know why people choose lovely names and then shorten them. A friend has a Charlotte (Lottie - eugh) and Yvonne (Evie - eugh)

Lovely names - leave them alone!!

Great name

I really like it and much prefer it to Arabella.

It does seem a totally different sort of name to Tilly though.

I really like Allegra (prefer it to Arabella, too). My only reservation would be if it got shortened to Ally and so your DDs were called Tilly and Ally, which is a bit too similar.

I love it.

Out of interest, is Tilly short for something? Would you shorten Allegra? Because then Tilly and Ally are a bit close.

I absolutely love the name Allegra. It's pure class, IMO. I don't know why, but I have a real 'thing' about it.
