Enola ? What do you think ?

[shelleee]

Dh likes the name Enola for a girl,what do you think ?

Sounds like a type of cereal.

gay

I try very hard not to be rude on name threads

but you CAN'T call your daughter Enola

the only Enola anyone will have heard of is Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb

it was named after the pilot's mother, I think

is it ee-nola or eh-nola?

i like the nola part but think the e part needs work

Ebola. Sorry

'fraid I thought Enola Gay too. Not a good connection imo.

No definitely not, the whole Hiroshima thing.
Also like that horrible Ebola disease.

Sounds like some kind of health food, and also sounds like Ebola. No.

Makes me think of Enola Gay. Now have the song going round my head.

i immediately thought enola gay too

it's also "alone" backwardw

Enola.

I've never heard that one before. Have you seen it in a baby names book?

Enola Gay was the name of the plane from which the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, so it doesn't have particularly happy connotations.

My first thoughts were Enola Gay and Ebola virus too.

BUT I know an EnIola which is quite a nice name. She's Nigerian and gets called Eni for short.

Just shown Dh replies i think he has gone off the idea now , thank you for yr replies, im not very keen but i seem to like names that are very popular at the moment , which is really boring ,,

What about Winola, Ellora, Ena, Iona,

Nola, Eva, Ella, Eloisa, Elise, Emma, Norah?

Enola Gay

omd

love that song

Nooo, not after Hiroshima.

Enora?

I second Iona as a name.

Enola is one letter away from a flesh eating virus.

Enola also sounds like a cream you would use on a very personal rash.

Death, horror, bombs. Please don't. Iona is a lovely alternative.

Enola virus... sorry

Iona is a lovely alternative though!
