Thoughts on Galilea

[Stumped7]

Pronounced "Gal-il-ey-ah" (i.e. a girl name version of Galilee, as in the Sea of Galilee. Like the female version of Galileo).

Expecting my second child and completely stumped for names this time. Turns out I used one of the only names I actually liked on my first child and now I can hardly think of anything that sparks joy. The first child's name is Biblical, recognisable as a well-known name, but not overly common these days.

I like Galilea, but it's very unusual in English speaking countries. I believe it's more common in Mexico but we have no links to Mexico.

What do you think of it?

In the uk everyone will think of the Queen song bohemian rhapsody?

Galilea Figaro

Just my thoughts about Bohemian Rhapsody. So therefore it's a no.

Absolutely not

What is your other child called?

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for meeeeeee!

It's pretty and meaningful, but think there will be issues with spelling.

The name in Bohemian Rhapsody is Galileo (the astronomer) not Galilea.
It did make me think of it though, to be honest.

Against the grain here but I think its very pretty and it brought to mind the bible before the Queen song for me

Yeah people are going to sing Queen at her forever. Her friends parents are going to laugh about it behind closed doors. She'll resent you for it.

Just dont

I think it's pretty, but if it reminds people of an embarrassingly dreadful pop song then it's probably not the right choice. How about Galatea?

Were you thinking about Galilee?

Queen song instantly

Sorry I also thought of Queen

Sorry I don't like it, I think it sounds like it could be a disease / medical term

A bit too out there for me.
What about Galatea?

Just no.

Why it's Galileo in the song.

Will these kids at primary school even know Bohemian Rhapsody?

It sure makes a change from all the Olivia's and Amelia's.

No.

Why are people not naming their babies normal names these days?!

Sorry OP, bohemian rhapsody is the first thing that came to my mind too

how about Jane?

Apologies for quoting the OP's original post! Didn't mean to!

Are you very religious?

Really pretty name, with ancient heritage. Unusual but sayable.
The reference to the 1980s Queen song is stretched and will be less relevant to your daughter’s generation (how many kids today even know that song?). Besides it’s a cool reference and a cool song anyway.
