Is it due a revival?

I am coming round to it. I would use nn Glory.

I like it but then Laura Brannigan's "Gloria" was one of my favourite songs when I was a girl!

PunkAssMoFo · 08/03/2020 16:54

Yes! It’s amazing and I love it.

No, awful. I only know one, she must be in her 50s and I think the name is too old for her, let alone a child.

I'm currently pregnant with our 3rd, my eldest daughter is convinced we are going to call our new one Gloria and has told everyone that Gloria is the new baby's name. It has gone on for so long now that when anyone asks how I'm doing they also ask 'how is Gloria doing?' 😂

I like it. Much better than “Elsie” as an old name.

My lovely but ditsy 72 year old mil is a Gloria!

It’s lovely!

BlastEndedSkrewt · 10/03/2020 17:05

love it

I really like it! Makes a nice change from the millions of boring Charlottes, Lilies, Islas and Amelias.

Gorgeous Gloria Pritchett!

I love it, along the lines of Joy and Faith. Beautiful.

No. My Gran had a good friend named Gloria, she had thick red hair and she used to sit chain smoking. I always remember her hoarse voice. Nice woman but a very old woman and the name just makes me picture her.

Tbf my Gran also has a friend called Violet and that name has made a comeback...

Bluejaune · 11/03/2020 09:26

Like it. More common in the US than here I think.

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 11/03/2020 09:28

No

I know a lovely Gloria, the name has really grown on me!
