We are all set on our baby girl’s name, which is due in a few weeks, but recently I have fallen in love with another name - [name]Allegra[/name]. We have no doubt about [name]Sara[/name] [name]Wilhelmina[/name], called [name]Willa[/name], but I can’t stop thinking about [name]Allegra[/name] as a sister to her, or at least a name I adore. I’ve seen it mentioned here a few times recently, and want to know how people feel about the name.
So, what do you all think about the name [name]Allegra[/name]?
I really love [name]Allegra[/name]! Some people are reminded of the allergy drug by the same name, but I only think of happiness when I hear the name. To me, [name]Allegra[/name] is elegant and whimsical.
(Hello to Miss [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Wilhelmina[/name]…)
Thanks, [name]Jill[/name]! I get the whole allergy affiliation, but I just love it so much. =)
If I could have my way, I’d have a [name]Willa[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Allegra[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Henry[/name]. Unfortunately, only [name]Willa[/name], [name]Allegra[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] are on the board.
And yes, baby [name]Willa[/name] is doing well… but I just can’t imagine how much more room she has. If she wants to continue her aerobatics she will have to vacate me soon.
I can’t wait until you are pregnant, [name]Jill[/name]! I’m sure with your baby name knowledge, you already have some picked out, but it will very much interest me to see what the wise [name]Jill[/name] [name]Kimberly[/name] comes up with! =)
I used to think of the allergy medicine until the movie [name]Hitch[/name]… [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Cole[/name]! I always thought the name had a refreshing sound that made it appealing. I like it!
I hope you and [name]Willa[/name] are doing well!!
Oh my gosh, Zard, that’s totally where I started liking the name, but put it out of my head as I wasn’t pregnant then. But with the recent activity here on Nameberry, I have really grown to love it.
Eh, just curious what the thoughts were.
Thanks for asking, Zard, [name]Willa[/name] and I are well. [name]Hope[/name] Miss [name]Emery[/name] is doing well!!
I’m really excited for you, [name]Carter[/name]! I can’t wait to have my babies (hopefully sooner rather than later), and hope you’ll all still be here!
Ahh!!! My name! It’s like Kryptonite to me. (I’m weak now…) Blogging about it here was cathartic, but to this day, I’m still shocked that it isn’t [name]Julia[/name]!
Someday, maybe we’ll have Nameberry reunion, and all of the babies can play together while basking in the glory of their perfect names.
About [name]Allegra[/name], I first heard it when I was little. I recall a friend telling me that [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Parker[/name] had a sister named [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] (or something along those lines), and I thought it was stunning.
Final random thought: If I wasn’t [name]Jill[/name], I’d use [name]Willa[/name] in a heartbeat!
Another UK resident who has never heard of the allergy medicine …
I love the name - it makes me think of a happy, musical little girl, but would also age well.
[name]Allegra[/name] would make a perfect sister for [name]Sara[/name] [name]Wilhelmina[/name] nn [name]Willa[/name], too (which is a beautiful choice, by the way - you have great taste!).
