Oh how fab, OP.

I've only known lovely Glorias. Go for it.

JeanGenie23 · 21/01/2016 17:35

I really like Gloria!

I also love Joy Smile

breezeharbour · 21/01/2016 17:35

I really like it, it reminds me of the red hot chili peppers song

"G-L-O-R-I-A is love, my friend"

Sunshine511 · 21/01/2016 17:36

Really like it Smile and it's by far my favourite from your girls list x

omri · 21/01/2016 17:38

Agree with sunshine - gorgeous name and best on your list. Don't know anyone called Gloria under 75; definitely due a comeback!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/01/2016 17:39

Awful.

Keziah and Molly are lovely.

CheekyMaleekey · 21/01/2016 17:43

Gloria?! Sounds like the name for an elderly hairdresser, heavy-drinking lush. Awful.

PooDogMillionaire · 21/01/2016 18:01

Thank you for your honest opinions Grin.

I also like pandora but worried people would think of the bracelet shop...

I once knew a fantastic lady called Glory, she was awesome!

Assquatch · 21/01/2016 18:23

I like Molly. Gloria is the hippo in Madagascar and my dc love them films so I couldn't.

"Calling G L O R I A"

Oh I'm dancing now Op

I like it Smile

Upthenoonoo · 21/01/2016 18:26

Christ no! She'd never forgive you.

PuppyMonkey · 21/01/2016 18:26

It's too soon imho. Gloria will always be a hard drinking older woman with bleached blonde hair and a fag.

PooDogMillionaire · 21/01/2016 18:27

Pandora?!

OP posts:
SoleBizzz · 21/01/2016 18:30

No.

Sunshine511 · 21/01/2016 18:32

I'm not a fan of Pandora. It's tricky because, if you want something individual, logic says not everyone will like it! I think Gloria is sweet but I don't have any negative connotations of the name x

SugarDiabetes · 21/01/2016 18:34

No to Pandora but a definite yes! to Gloria!

RiverTam · 21/01/2016 18:36

Pandora!
I adore ya!
I implore ye
Don't ignore me

(Adrian Mole's ode to the love of his life)

Gloria to me is a lovely warm friendly bosomy black woman in her 60s. What's not to like!

I like Kezia (without the h). And I adore Ezra.

Burgatroyd · 21/01/2016 18:43

Another vote for Gloria!

Shelleymoon · 21/01/2016 18:45

No. It's awful. Poor child

PennyHasNoSurname · 21/01/2016 18:45

It just reminds me of Gloria from Modern Family which is no bad thing I suppose. I reckon itd get shortened to Glo so thatd put me off.

Id pick Molly, or a different name entirely.

Orange1969 · 21/01/2016 18:48

Not as bad as David Mitchell and Victoria Coren calling their child Barbara.

I just think of Gloria Hunniford with her mumsy hairdo.

Only1scoop · 21/01/2016 18:53

River Tam

Didn't she like to be called 'Box'
Grin

ashesandfire · 21/01/2016 20:32

No Gloria is a middle aged woman with platinum blonde hair, big hooped gold earrings, and a fag.
Why do I have such a clear mental image?!

Love Keziah! And Ezra. I like Lorelei too.

lostinloz · 21/01/2016 20:34

I like it!
