Enola for DD?

[scarletm]

me and DH watched Enola Holmes recently with his nieces and would love the same name for DD. We do thinks it's a little different though! Any thoughts??

Awful. Reads and sounds like the Ebola disease

Ebola Gay is not a good association.

Really sorry OP but I read it as Ebola.

Enola gay. It will be googled and used for bullying.

Alone backwards😜

Enola Gay. The name of the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb. Google it. And the song by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark of the same name that was a massive hit in the 80s. Therefore not an obscure reference.

That would be: absolutely never use that name

The Enola Gay was the first plane to ever drop an atomic bomb. Not everyone is interested in history but I wouldn’t name a child with a name connected with that.

I was just watching the film with dd and was thinking it was a rather nice name. Fantastic character too, but the Hiroshima connection is not great.

No. For all the reasons above.

Enola gay here as well op.

Horrible, op. She would be bullied being called Ebola all through school. Please don't do that to a child.

Ebola my first thought, too. I like Covida though.

Enola Gay for me too.

There’s 2 Enolas in this area, although one has a different spelling.

I doubt small children know about Ebola or Enola Gay.

No, Ebola for me Instantly

First thing that came to mind was canola oil. Sorry OP

Enola Gay was my first thought.

I am 34 and I've never heard of Enola Gay.

I like it op, if anything the programme will help curb the negative connotations.

I doubt small children know about Ebola or Enola Gay.

Perhaps not, but small children grow into teens and adults who will. A name is for life and it's important to consider these associations.

I am 34 and I've never heard of Enola Gay

How about Lenora?

Ebola Gay, BUT the plane was named after the pilot's mother so I don't think it's the worst choice.

Wow. I actually real like it!!

How about Lenora?

Like the fabric softener?

31 and never heard of Enola Gay either and Ebola doesn’t come to mind either..

Also just watched Enola Holmes and loved it, so it’s a yes from me
