Does a mustard yellow car from the 70s immediately spring to mind despite the fact that it was an AllegrO not an AllegrA??

Not too keen on Allegra I'm afraid, but no, I didn't think of the car.

I love it, DH veto-ed it on the grounds of the car thing

skihorse · 11/05/2010 13:43

I like it - but my first thought was "that poor Versace girl".

Rockbird · 11/05/2010 13:54

Hmm...I think I like it. No one under the age of 40 would get the car association anyway so she won't be bullied because of it!

ticktockclock · 11/05/2010 13:57

Yep I like it, bit different but not so much that it is out there.

GoldysMum · 11/05/2010 13:57

I love it, wouldn't have thought of the car at all. Think it means happiness or happy. would get shortened to Al or Ali though if you like those names

I know an Allegra and she's lovely. Very bright and perky as her name would suggest.

mrsSmurf · 11/05/2010 14:49

Lovely.

Allegra (Fexofenadine HCI) is an allergy medication in the US.

Psammead · 11/05/2010 15:55

Very pretty. Didn't even know there was a car called Allegro. Shame about the allergy medicine.

If you like music-related names, how about Aria?

MaryBS · 11/05/2010 15:56

I thought of the car straight away, must be my age

Purplebuns · 11/05/2010 15:59

I like it! Unusual, and us young uns don't know of the car...

crumpet · 11/05/2010 15:59

Lovely name - had it on our short list, but it wasn't "us". We went for another Italian name instead.

cumbria81 · 11/05/2010 16:04

Poncetastic. Not in a good way.

CoteDAzur · 11/05/2010 19:29

I love it.

Magaly · 11/05/2010 20:16

I like it.

Anyway, the Allegro car is now a vintage model which has become cute in an endearingly retro way (or something like that)

Magaly · 11/05/2010 20:17

Did Allegra Versace die?

helyg · 11/05/2010 20:18

I thought of the woman who did the TV series Economy Gastronomy, I'm sure she was called Allegra.

I quite like the name.

Magaly · 11/05/2010 20:19

Math, so would it be about the same as calling a child Flora or Stella, or would it be more like calling your child Vicks Night Nurse.

because any product could be launched here at any moment I think. And Allegra has a zippier ring to it than Zirtec

alfiemama · 11/05/2010 20:32

Its not my cup of tea to be honest
