Allegra

As in the antihistamine?

I watched something on netflix where they called their daughter Idalia, I thought that was nice.

None of which DH liked so DD has a compromise name which to be fair has had a few mentions on this thread too. It’s just not my absolute fave.

@pisssinginthewind you're correct, there is an antihistamine called Allegra.

Thankfully we couldn't care less.

I like Athena but those of us of a certain age will think of the shops that sold posters of kittens in a wine glass and topless men with a baby Blush

I didn't use the name I mentioned earlier because although I think it's beautiful, I grew up with an unusual name myself and it made life miserable because people took the piss. There's people in this thread taking the piss, so imagine in real life- I've had receptionists laugh, teachers used to laugh and make up "funny" versions of it, I had to spell it every single time, I've had people ask "Are you sure?" And so on. I use my middle name now!
My daughter has a name that's not popular but it is nice and "normal."

So original.

I went to college with a girl called Verinia (42 years ago). I loved her name. Every one called her Rinny for short. I have never heard of it since!

Now I will shut up! Love a name thread!

Sounds like a vegetable

It's pronounced Ca- lie- oh- pea. I was going to ask if that made it any better, but the 'pea' at the end is unlikely to help my case 😂

@Worryingmother I haven't seen one 'made up' name on this thread. If you don't like them that's fine, but it doesn't make them 'not names'.

@moppatoppa

Allegra is beautiful. For me I think of the musical term. " brisk and lively" it makes me smile. It was on dhs veto list sadly.

@Bumblebee413

Calliope is another gorgeous name. 100% get why you think it's beautiful.
