I don’t know about the name [name_f]Elvira[/name_f].
I really like how flowery and etheral it sounds. It sounds like an exotic rainforest fern.
On the other hand, some people think it sounds evil. I don’t quite know what everybody would think. So what do you think? Please comment!
It’s super tied to [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_m]Peterson[/name_m]'s [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], Mistress of the Dark, persona. I don’t mean to be rude at all, but I just don’t see anything appealing about the name.
I agree, it’s still heavily tied to [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], Mistress of the Dark (in the US at least, not sure about other countries).
I do like the name though, when it’s pronounced [name_f]El[/name_f]-veer-ah, not [name_f]El[/name_f]-vy-rah.
Never heard of [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], Mistress of the Dark (I’m in the UK, though).
I really like the name too but it always gets a negative wrap. I pronounce it el-[name_m]VEER[/name_m]-ah; I know a little [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Elvire[/name_f] (el-[name_m]VEER[/name_m]) - also lovely.
I went to high school with an [name_f]Elvira[/name_f]. Everyone liked her name. I havent heard of the series but iam not in the US.
Never heard of the series, but then I am halfway across the world away from the US. I really like the name. [name_f]Elvira[/name_f] is pretty. 
In the US it is heavily tied to [name_f]Elvira[/name_f] (mistress of the dark) and though i’ve never seen the show, movie or wherever she originally came from I still associate the name with a sort of dominatrix feel. Also, my dad named his porsche [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], after the lady…so, yeah. I could never use it but if you don’t have any of these associations I think it’s quite pretty, as long as she isn’t from the US.
Very pretty and usable if you’re not in the US. If you’re a goth pop culture fan in the US, then it could work as a middle name.
I live in the UK and I’ve never heard of [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], Mistress of the Dark. I don’t think that series was popular here. I actually think of [name_f]Elvira[/name_f] [name_u]Madigan[/name_u], a classic Swedish film from the 1960s. I think the name is lovely. I’ve only heard it pronounced el-[name_m]VEER[/name_m]-ah.
