I knew a lot of Asian Gloria's in college.


The plural of Gloria is Glorias, not Gloria’s.

Google the song “Gloria” by Laura Brannigan!

Great song and cool name!

Gloria. My mom’s college roommate is named Gloria nicknamed Gigi. Every time I hear my mom answer a call from her with “Hi, G” I think “what a cool name”.

- Last name is a short, strong, one-syllable name that pairs well with most names.
- Middle name is going to be a family name that doesn't go well with much, but is what it is.
- Very important to me that her name be phonetic and easy to pronounce. I myself have a constantly mispronounced name and will not do that to my child.
- A strong name is also important to me; nothing too precious.
- We are not religious - I know some of these have a strong religious association. Not sure if that's weird.

Here is my working list of names. I'd like thoughts on these, and/or ideas for other names to consider. Thanks!

Ruth
Ruby
Grace
Gloria
Greta
Etta
Eve
June



Two girls with R names is too cutesy for my taste. From your list, I like June.

Yes they will. And it's not that great of a name anyway.


Yes, absolutely. A no go for this reason.

I change my vote.

The fact that it’s Grandma’s name means a lot to me!



Aw thanks! I think DH may not be sold on this one but we shall see. I was thinking “Glo” as a nickname.


This is actually very cute.

Dorothy?

Margaret. Shares a common root referring to a flower, and lots of nickname possibilities, including Maisie and Daisy.
