Gloria

[blondiep14]

What do people think?
Apart from Glo what could it be shortened to?
I think of the Van Morrison song - what do you think of?!

haha, thanks Mrs Wolf. Hormones getting the better of me again?!

I like it

My ex MIL's name. Hideous woman, hideous name

it's a bit old-fashioned.

what about Glorie instead? means the same but looks a bit more modern.

Hunniford.

And that carol that goes Glooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooria. Hosannah in excelsis (sp?)

I taught such a lovely girl called Gloria. I think she was Nigerian.
One of the nicest pupils I have ever had. Makes me think very fondly of the name!

We had quite a few Nigerian students who had names you might consider old fashioned in the UK.

Reminds me of the hippo in Madagascar - lovely hippo, horrible name.

So, general consensus is an emphatic no!
Glorie is quite sweet.

Love it, also love Glorie.

Mrsvwoolf, you have perfectly described my Mil.

This is one of the names that I think is beautiful but has morphed into something horrible.

The meaning is wonderful, the sound is lovely but the name Gloria is just one of those old lady ones.

Shame but what can you do?

'At first I was afraid, I was petrified...'

great song. lousy name.

I'm planning to call my dog Gloria after the Green Day song, as I never got to use it on a daughter! I think it's a really nice name, and I bet in 6 months everyone will be calling it the new Ruby or some such..

I like it.

I love it.

I think it can transcend it's old lady image and be beautful on a young girl.

i like the way it feels when you say it.
