Sonora

[stairway]

In honour of father’s day. What do you think of the name Sonora for a girl?

sounds like a mash up of Sodoma and Gonorrha (sp).

hard no

Sounds like an anti-snoring device. Definitely a no.

Behave

I've never heard it before, and don't take to it (I don't like most place-name names) Is it widely used as a given name?

Awful sounds like some sort of medical device (sorry)

No

What is the connection between Sonora and Father's Day 🤔

I’d hear that as ‘snorer’.

She founded it after her single Dad.

No

Also, The literal meaning of "sonora" in Spanish is a feminine form of the adjective "sonoro" meaning "sonorous" or "loud."

Sonora Smart Dodd. IsolaPribby I thought it meant sweet sounding in Spanish?

Who is 'she', and whose 'single dad' are we talking about? Is this an elaborate joke that everyone gets? 🤡

I don't know either. sounds like a riddle

Sonora Smart Dodd. This is where father’s day comes from.

I know! I keep saying Snora Smart Dodd out loud to myself to see if it's a phonetic joke. Like Scott Cheg sort of thing.

Oh my god, OP I'm so sorry. I'm clearly totally uneducated. Everyone else, just google Sonora Smart Dodd. Thank you for the lesson in history

Her mum was called Ellen Cheek Smart. Her family's names are really something.

Fathers day is totally made up. I’m glad it was made up by a young girl though, who probably did most of the raising of her brothers after her Mother’s death in childbirth yet she still wanted to honour her Dad.

I’m just in the process of naming my fantasy children btw. I need a name to go with fantasy dd1 called Apricity.

Plumtown?

Plumtown, hmm does it have a special meaning?

I also hear Snorer.

Is it for a son-or-a daughter?

Sorry

CliffordMouse It’s for a daughter ( but not a real one)
