So, what do you think of [name]Allegra[/name]?
-------------------------------- history for those interested------------------------------------
Means “cheerful, lively” in Italian, and while not common now, it was first used in the 1500s in [name]Italy[/name]. It was laterborne by a daughter of [name]Lord[/name] [name]Byron[/name]. It is related to the musical term “allegro” and can be found in this (adorable!) poem, by [name]Longfellow[/name]: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poems - Poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
[name]Allegra[/name] has never been in the US top 1,000.
I’ve liked [name]Allegra[/name] since I was a per-teen. There used to be a cartoon my sister watched whose main character had the name [name]Allegra[/name]. So I always think of that before the allergy meds. lol I’m not very fond of names with the letter “G” in them, which is probably the main problem I have with the name. It’s a beautiful name, but theres something harsh sounding about it that keeps me from using it for my own child.
[name]Man[/name], those allergy meds really made an impact. For some reason the medicine just doesn’t really bother me, though it seems for a lot of people that’s a very strong association.
I used to love it and it was at the top of my list for years, but now I take [name]Allegra[/name] everyday for allergies. So for me it’d be like naming my kid Tylenol
Yeah, the musical connection is one reason while I fell for [name]Allegra[/name]. [name]Music[/name] has been really big in my life, so I like the little nod to that.
I think it’s a beautiful name, I used to love it. Unfortunately i’ve met some spoiled brats named [name]Allegra[/name] over the years… but still a lovely name.
I like it a lot mainly because my family’s original form of my surname was [name]Allegra[/name]. I’d probably only use it as a middle name just because I think it would be odd to call my future daughter a name so close to my surname on a daily basis.
