Sorry this name is just ugly to me

I too think of this www.ahpra.gov.au/

Certainly not a strange or horrid name, but equally, I personally don't like it- with so many others to choose which aren't connected to a health regulatory body. Any others you like? What do you like about this name?

I'm UK based so never even heard of that health organisation not on my radar at all so not an issue for me in that sense

I like that it sounds strong but also soft, and not that common but still recognisable as a name ie not completely made up

I've never heard it before but like it.

Oooh I love it. (Runs off to consult dh)

How is it connected to a health regulatory body? The Australian health regulatory body is AHPRA, not Aphra. It’s got the same letters, but not in the same order. And no-one outside Australia has ever heard of it, anyway. Sorry.

Aphra is a lovely name!

Don't like it

GrandPrismatic · 20/11/2021 05:01

Aphra-disiac was my instant thought. I do like the name though but think would always mentally make that association

Love it!
