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)

Awful

There appears to be 100% consensus on this

Does your friend understand what the word “imbroglio” means? It’s what she’d be getting her DD into if she used this awful name.

But she must be having a laugh. No-one could seriously consider Embreglio as a name for a human being.

Don't like it. Sounds like embryo.

I wouldn't. It sounds like a serious skin complaint.

It sounds like a chronic illness.

Lol

It's awful.

Why don't you suggest Balonz instead? A good classic name.

I don’t know, I’m Torn

Sounds like something that happens during birth.

Good God no.

Sounds like an Italian cheese. Or the surname of Aussie singer Natalie Imbruglia.

Either way, it's bloody awful.

Imbroglio means a kerfuffle. Which is not un-apt.

My god it's awful. First thing that came to mind was a medicine used to treat some horrid skin disease.

She’s seen the thread - she’s not going to use it I don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby name thread that’s so unanimous!

Another child saved from a lifetime of bullying by MN! To me, it sounds like a device that the Spanish Inquisition might have used to crush people's genitals. Or the soothing embrocation that you might have rubbed on afterwards.

yes, thank you MN.
Us “vipers” do good work

Another umberella Ella Ella Ella (brolly for short !)
