Hi all! Me again 🙊

I'm going to keep these threads coming until we find a baby name unfortunately 😅

Thoughts on the name Oria (for a girl!)

I like asking for an outsiders opinion as it highlights points about the name myself & hubby wouldn't have thought of!

Thanks again!! ☺️

Love it ❤️

EugenesAxe · 08/04/2020 10:06

I’m not hugely into it. Some thoughts:

Or-ee-a or Or-rye-a?
Bit like Oreo
Also reminds me of ‘oral’ and therefore (for right or wrong) connotations with sex

Love 💓

chipsandpeas · 08/04/2020 10:08

i think people will misread it as Orla

MrsJoshNavidi · 08/04/2020 10:12

I thought it was Orla at first. It's a mish mash of Orla and Aria. It's it an actual name?

carnivalisover · 08/04/2020 10:13

hmm. Gl..oria Dia.....oria

no

Whatsyourflava · 08/04/2020 10:27

I like Orla and Aria... so why not I suppose

Pinkblueberry · 08/04/2020 10:30

Oreo...
That’s all I’m hearing when I read it.

Windyatthebeach · 08/04/2020 10:30

Looks made up sorry...

kateybeth79 · 08/04/2020 10:32

How do you pronounce it?

TDL2016 · 08/04/2020 10:33

Too similar to Oreo in my opinion.

Pinkblueberry · 08/04/2020 10:43

Also reminds me of ‘oral’ and therefore (for right or wrong) connotations with sex

And this. I can imagine some mean teenagers will be all over this when your child goes to secondary school, don’t do this to her.

@chipsandpeas OMG I did misread it as Orla!
Yeah not a fan of Oria sorry

CaroleFuckinBaskin · 08/04/2020 10:45

Oreo... Oral.... No.

Plus it looks like an uglier version of Aria, which is a much nicer name.

Sunsetred · 08/04/2020 10:52

I prefer Aria to Oria!

Boireannachlaidir · 08/04/2020 10:53

Looks made up, not a fan.

AuntyAnna · 08/04/2020 10:55

Ive never heard of it but I like it 😃 you might like Oriana too.

I like the sound but prefer the spelling Aurea.

mangoandraspberries · 08/04/2020 11:04

Sorry but I'm not a fan - there are lots of way I think it could be pronounced which could get annoying having to correct people all the time? If that matters to you...

JasonPollack · 08/04/2020 11:06

Did you make it up? It sounds a bit made up.

ncqtime · 08/04/2020 11:06

Dislike. Thoughts that come to mind are sex toy, oral, Aria

Spidey66 · 08/04/2020 11:08

I thought it was Orla at first, which is lovely. Not keen on Oria.

Boswello · 08/04/2020 11:15

Sounds a bit like a condition or anatomical part....not ideal really

AutumnNymph · 08/04/2020 11:17

Sorry not keen - Oreo is what I hear,. Aurea sounds much nicer or Orla

puds11 · 08/04/2020 11:18

Makes me think of biscuits
