Suggestions for names similar to Gloria

[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is a name we really like, but I’m not really sure about using it.

It feels really melodious in my ears, but it’s also very old-fashioned.
Which isn’t a bad thing, I’m just not sure [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is ready for a comeback yet.

Could you suggest some names that are similar to [name_f]Gloria[/name_f], have a similar feel/vibe or meaning?

I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is so ready!

[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is a beautiful-sounding name, but I agree that it sounds very old fashioned.

I think [name_f]Glory[/name_f] was already mentioned, and is more modern.

A unique elaboration on [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is Glorielle or Gloriella.

[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] (and its variants - [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], [name_f]Georgeanna[/name_f], [name_f]Georgetta[/name_f]) has [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]'s G-use, ‘o’ sound, and -a ending.

[name_u]Dory[/name_u], [name_f]Flory[/name_f], [name_f]Mallory[/name_f], [name_f]Marjory[/name_f], and [name_f]Valory[/name_f] all rhyme with [name_f]Glory[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]. Some may say it’s an old lady name but I find it exhultant. It’s got the [name_f]Patti[/name_f] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] song to give punk rock contrast to its granny image, and didn’t [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] Gyllenhall choose it for one of her daughters? There’s not much like it, imo. [name_f]Gilda[/name_f] might have some of the same granny sass, but it lacks [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]'s grandness.

I’m a [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]. :slight_smile: I get told all the time how beautiful my name is. I think it’s an unexpected surprise when people meet me. It also has added bonus of being mine, so to speak. I have only ever met one other [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] in my life. I’m just trying to give you an inside look to show that it’s totally usable. :stuck_out_tongue:

As a name, I see it as very melodic and girly. I think of someone Spanish and vivacious instead of old fashioned and grandmotherly. (Yet I don’t see myself as any of those. :p)

I know a 4 year old named [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]!
And I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is very similar, only a couple letters off. Or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] if you want a nice virtue name!! (Not biased at all!!!)
