Boys name Aquilla

[audley]

nn Aqua, it's biblical and I like it! Any thoughts???

Isn't it a motorcyle accessories comapny?

I don't like it at all - what is wrong with real names these days?

How do you pronounce it?

Ak-ill-ah? Ah-kee-ah? Ak-will-ah?

No. Just no.

If you like I'll post my why you shouldn't choose bonkers names post again!

Ah-kwill-ah
It is a real name!!

Go for Marcus.

Thats Aprilia MadameCastafiore

It's a bit...odd.

If you really like it, how about using it as a middle name. Not for a first name

givethedogahomebirth, oh dear, this is my main concern too (sounding like a girls name), I hoped it may not get picked up so soon...

Aprilla/Aquilla - they are all crap!

Maybe you could get Aquilla and Minerva together when they are older!

Quite so MadameCasta - i think Minerva is great too! But I like the biblical association with Aquilla that Minerva doesn't have.

I quite like it, but more as a middle name.

All names that end in A sound girly.

it's horrible

according to www.babynamescountry.com/meanings/Aquila.html its a girls name with 2 Ls and its latin for eagle

It's a town in central Italy as well.
Please don't use it. Sounds awful.

Oh thanks for that follderol. I didn't know. Aquila then.

I prefer the a-kee-la pronunciation, rather than the a-kwee-la version

Why?

1. eagle
2. brand of beer

Nice enough sounding word but don't think it works as a baby name.

If you like the eagle thing and are looking for something not used very much how about Peregrine or Merlin. OK they are falcons but similar sort of thing.

Or if you want an easy way to choose your Chrismas cards for everymore call him Robin.

Aqua is ok, in an earth mother kind of way, but definitely for a girl.

Aqua is water in Italian.

Would you call your DS Water? Even as a nickname?

Reminds me a bit of Akela, the boss cub scout leader.

Not keen, sorry.

It's Aquila with one L.
