Really love the name Azalea for a girl, however is it too "weird" or "out there"?

I don't think it's too weird. It's not what I would choose but I actually like it. There are s lot more "out there" names!

MikeUniformMike · 24/09/2017 19:54

It's fine.

greendale17 · 24/09/2017 19:57

Reminds me of Iggy Azalea

3littlebadgers · 24/09/2017 19:59

I taught one and she was lovely. Go for it Flowers

It's too weird, like calling your child agapanthus or hydrangea.

It reminds me a little of the rapper and yes, is a bit out there but I think it's very pretty Smile

StewartHil · 24/09/2017 20:04

It's pretty and no more weird than Rose or Lily, objectively speaking. I like it Smile

MammieBear · 24/09/2017 20:15

Wouldn't say weird, I'd just say different to the usual floral picks.

FloralCouchPants · 24/09/2017 20:34

I love it! There used to be a young girl in my church called Azalea. I don't think any name is to weird for the most part. Cheeseburger would not be a good baby name, but Azalea is not an unheard of name. I might not be the best judge on this however, I'm named after a gemstone!

SuburbanRhonda · 24/09/2017 20:37

It's not weird, just not very nice. Sorry.

ooerrmissus · 24/09/2017 20:39

I know an Azalea, which I think is lovely, but it often gets shorten to Azzy, which I think is grim.

Dontrocktheboat · 24/09/2017 20:41

I think it's nice, would shorten it to Zalie maybe, which sounds prettier than Azzie.

Mulch · 24/09/2017 20:43

Iggys God awful but azalea banks is a decent rapper If abit crazy. Lovely name either way, refreshing change from olivia, grace-may ect

cushioncovers · 24/09/2017 20:43

It's a plant isn't it? It's ok.

Tameagobairanois · 24/09/2017 20:43

What was the name of the Dingo Baby?

Rheged · 24/09/2017 20:44

I really like it!

Tameagobairanois · 24/09/2017 20:45

Sorry, that was Azaria.

Yeh Azalea, bit try hard but it's pretty.

CarlHickbread · 24/09/2017 20:45

I think of Azalea Banks who is totally batshit.

Would like it if it didn't have that connection!

itusedtobeverydifferent · 24/09/2017 20:50

Oh, I quite like it.

TheEdgeOfGlory266 · 24/09/2017 21:21

I like it. I think it's too out there for me to use personally (I'm such a bore) but if I met someone with the name, I wouldn't think it was too out there if that makes sense. It's very pretty. Go for it!!

SuperBeagle · 24/09/2017 21:47

Iggy Azalea and Azalea Banks are both horrible associations.

Dahlia is an uncommon flower name without the pop culture association.

early30smum · 24/09/2017 21:52

I really like it. I have also seen the spelling Azelya.

Mrsknackered · 25/09/2017 20:15

Yes Miss Banks is a bad connotation.

Do you like Zinnia?
