Apricity for a girl

[stairway]

Found this word in the dictionary meaning the warmth of the sun on a winters day. Thinking it would make an excellent unusual girls name, particularly one born in the winter months. Thoughts?

It’s one of m6 favourite words. It could work though could be tedious having to explain it all the time?

I like the sentiment behind it but the word itself has quite a brittle sound to it to my ears.

I don’t like it as a word. It’s not difficult to pronounce but it is awkward.

Also every single time she says her name she will be asked to repeat it a couple of times and maybe even spell it out before anyone understands what she is saying. A massive hassle.

I love the meaning. Really dislike the sound of the word though which is a shame.

It’s a lovely meaning, but tbh it sounds to me like two corporate companies have merged and chosen a new name.

It's not a name! I agree that it sounds harsh & she'll spend the rest of her life spelling/explaining or give herself a nickname.

No, no, NO!

Heck no everyone will just assume it's a spelling mistake.
It's pretentious.Don't.

Shell be called Prissy or worse Pissy. It also sounds like a disease of some sort - a dose of apricity or maybe a type of cream for piles.

A nice mix of ape and electricity!

Ugh. God no.

So you didn’t know the word before you found it in the dictionary?

Most people won’t know it and they’ll struggle to pronounce/hear it. Given no one cares what a name means consider that before you choose it.
Alternatively, give her the name Petrichor or callipygian.

Actually I think it's beautiful. Probably Prissy for a nn though.

Is this the new Keanu?

There are so many beautiful names. Why chose a random word that isn't a name.

April and Avril, yes. Apricity Would be a hell of a burden imo.

A PRE CITY think what fun the bullies could have with that!

Unusual names can be lovely but make sure they aren’t unusual for all the wrong reasons. I think it’s on apar with Apple and other bullshit names.

Is that you Gwyneth?

No.too awkward to say and a lifetime of having to spell her name out to receptionists/telephone etc (speaking as one who has to do this time and time again )

Good word, terrible name. Sorry, OP.

It looks like a mistake

It sounds like an electricity company

Not good, sorry.

tbh it sounds to me like two corporate companies have merged and chosen a new name.

This

Sounds like a medical condition

Sounds like a brand of yoghurt.

All joking aside, I consider myself to be well read and I’ve never heard this word before and on first glance thought it a combination of April and Felicity. Eeeek.
