Amoura? I really love it, but I think everyone will hate it, not that I am too fussed ( not even pregnant yet :) )

I know an Amira, very pretty name, but amoura sounds like an air freshener or something

It's neither a name or a random word.
I would look for alternatives

According to a quick google it looks like an Arabic name that means beautiful or radiant or lovely.

I don't mind it (a bit feminine for my taste) but I do have a DD with a challenging name for most English speakers.

I know an adult Amora, and because she's lovely I've always liked the name too.

Maura might be better known, and has a very similar sound.

There used to be 'Amora - academy of sex and relationships' on Leicester Square. It did not last long though

Did explain there is no baby, not anything to go for, and not a name I would actually pick, just a guilty pleasure :)
