I really like it! Hazel would be my second choice followed by Heather.

Leeloo1233 · 23/09/2021 18:50

I think of Modern Family immediately :) but I like it!

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 23/09/2021 18:51

I prefer Maeve. Gloria makes me think of hymns

SummerintheCity2021 · 23/09/2021 18:54

Nooo! I don’t like it at all, nor your other names. Wendy is really bad. Hazel and Maeve are always popular on here. Heather is the best at a push.

Synchrony · 23/09/2021 18:57

I really like it. Love Hazel and Heather too. Loathe Maeve but I know I'm in the minority!

QuickieNCforthis · 23/09/2021 18:58

I actually really like Gloria. It is, I suppose, a "granny chic" name but I think the meaning is great and it's really strong as a name. Plus she'd be the only one in her class.

Out of the others, I really dislike Wendy. Maeve is fine, Heather is sweet, I've always had a soft spot for Hazel.

I love Gloria. I wonder if you'll be ahead of the curve with it, because I've seen it mentioned on name forums more recently, but there were only 52 born in England and Wales in 2019.

i really really like gloria , its so different , not common at all for me it beats all the others

GemmaRuby · 23/09/2021 19:13

I think Gloria could possibly work.
Love Maeve, Hazel and Heather.
Hate Wendy… horrible MIL’s name.

alexdgr8 · 23/09/2021 19:13

Gloria is glorious.
go with that.
and well done for resisting naming her, goldilocks.

Sexnotgender · 23/09/2021 19:14

Love it.

NoCureForLove · 23/09/2021 19:15

LOVE it. Also love Glory.

ImInStealthMode · 23/09/2021 19:15

Don't mind Gloria, love Maeve.

No strong feelings about the other 3.

mrsevangelina · 23/09/2021 19:17

I think of the Laura Brannigan song. That's not a bad thing, it's a great song

Marguerite2000 · 23/09/2021 19:19

It reminds me of the Van Morrison song. I really like it.

Zarene · 23/09/2021 19:19

I love it. I know a 30-something Gloria and it's very cool on her. Sometimes shortened to Glo (pronounced glow)

I've long thought it's for a revival.

TatianaBis · 23/09/2021 19:30

I like it.

Don't like any of the others.

I also know a cool 30 something Gloria/Glo! Yours is not from Chicago by any chance is she?

I love it OP.

HoldingTheDoor · 23/09/2021 19:47

Gloria is awful.

Hazel is lovely and Heather is nice.

CasaBonita · 23/09/2021 19:48

Gloria and Wendy are truly awful - sorry.

The rest are ok. Maeve is the best of the bunch.

Fordian · 23/09/2021 19:49

Love all except Wendy.

PumpkinCrumble · 23/09/2021 19:54

G-L-O-R-I-A = Patti Smith banger.

Skyla2005 · 23/09/2021 19:54

Is this a joke ? Must be

Carboncheque · 23/09/2021 19:59

Gloria. It sounds really fresh now.

PlainJane1000 · 23/09/2021 20:25

Whenever i take an instant dislike to a name in a thread title I can almost guarantee that all the feedback will be positive towards it! Im bucking the trend, I personally really dislike it for a child or adult. I also loathe Wendy, I'm sorry... I just think of Wendy House.
Of your selection I like Hazel and Heather best.
