Tell me your thoughts on Embreglia

[Aberforthsgoat]

This isn’t me - this is a friend. Among her current name choice is Embreglia pronounced Embrellia. Her DH has said a staunch no so she asked me and I said I didn’t think it was a great name to be honest... so she wants me to put it to the MN jury.
I did warn her that it can be brutal

Both friend and DH are British, so it’s not a name chosen from another country (as far as I am aware) but one that friend said just came to her, spelling and all, and she fell in love with it.

Do you agree with me and the DH or the friend?
(Lighthearted, it’s probably not going to end up as baby’s name but it is on the shortlist)

No. It looks ugly and no one in the UK at least would ever be able to pronounce it.

Reminds me of umbrella sorry, it’s a no from me

Erm that’s a no from me. To close to umbrella and just daft.

Good lord.
No.

It's not a nice looking name is it?

Reminds me of that aussie soapstar who sang Torn.

So where does it come from? Sounds italian, though no idea what it would mean.

Imbruglia, Imbroglio, Umbrell-y-a.

Gosh that’s going to be hard for that child to spell when she goes to school!

lottie it made me think of Natalie Imbruglia!
I have done no research on it I’m afraid I will go off and have a google

Maybe she's just having a laugh. Hopefully.

My first thought was that it's Natalie Imbruglia's surname.

I think if she goes for it she should just spell it how it sounds Embrellia although agree with the pp who said it sounds like umbrella a bit!

Nooooo!
Sounds like embryo!

It’s an ugly name, everyone will say it with the hard ‘g’ and the child will spend their life telling people how it’s pronounced.

Tis nearing on child abuse 😟

Sounds like an eczema cream

It's the name of an STD that was common in the 18th century in port cities like Naples. It used to make the genitals swell to ten times their normal size, turn green, and make a tooting sound.

ridiculous name

I thought it was some sort of condition like fibromyalgia

It sounds like a gynecological disorder.

I really don’t like it. And she’d end up just being Em.

It sounds like a disease of the female parts

It’s a universal ‘no’ OP

I’m laughing at some of these replies.
I googled it and only got one random entry about a YouTuber that matched!

Dear me, no. Just no.

Quintella

Reminds me of a french last name, "De Broglie", pronounced "de Breuye"...

I'm not fond of made up names in general. And this one has nothing that endears it to me.
