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?

Someone I know works at a company called Apricity

I would have to say no.

It sounds like a product name one of the teams on a The Apprentice would have come up with.

A nice name for a Business. Ideal for winter sun holidays perhaps. Not for a child.

@eurochick Yes! That's exactly what it sounds like.

@booboostwo why would I make this up? I hardly ever comment unless it's relevant and this is. It's a lovely name, with a lovely meaning, we all think it's great.

@stairway I think people are being very mean, it's lovely and the Apricity we know is lovely too.

it made me think of Aapri facial scrub...

Sorry, no. It's either a utility company or a mash up of April and Felicity. Either way it'd be really hard to live with.

And anyway, who's even slightly interested in what anyone else's name means? I don't give it a second thought. A person's name is just their name.

Reminds me of Apricots foe some reason

I know someone called Velocity, so why not Apricity?

No way. It's awful. Go for April or Avril or Felicity?? Go for an actual name.

@booboostwo why would I make this up?

Why does anyone make anything up? Because they can. Especially on an anonymous forum.

As a word it is a lovely thing but as a name not so much. It will be shortened to prissy.

I’m not keen because personal taste... but I’m also not fond of loads of traditional/established names because personal taste.

Sounds like some kind of shower gel of other toiletry product. Apricot inspired. Do you remember Aapri facial scrub...similar name. Also reminds me of a city in april...april city.

Nice meaning but it sounds like too many other things to be a name in my mind...then again, if you love it, have it.

Blimey, if you call a child that and they google it all they will find are dozens of pages on fertility treatment and ivf followed by some on learning difficulties and the rest on CBD oil. That's a very unusual search haul!

Just no
Choose a proper name

Agree, it sounds like a corporation not a person. Child won't thank you for it.

Nope, name sounds too mathematical and stressful also kinda reminds me of stress sweating

No, doesn’t sound nice, bad nickname potential, lifetime of hassle having to tell people how to spell and pronounce it. And does sound like it should be a power supplier company, give it a few months and it very well could be (they pop up all the time).

Sorry it sounds like one of those awful team name on the Apprentice

I love the sentiment of it but the sound is a bit harsh and awkward to my ears.

middle name OK

Google tells me it's a Fertility clinic, maybe people would think she was a success story from there
