Im liking the name [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] at the moment, my previous choices of [name_u]Nelly[/name_u] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] have recently been taken by friends of ours, and [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is my third choice. Our last name begins with A so i dont know i runs right?
I like that its known but unusual, and think the nickname Glo would be sweet, but have no idea what to do about a middle name
I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is so sweet! I donāt think your last name will be a problem, I think the double a sound is beautiful! Almost like a famous name, if that makes sense. [name_u]Nelly[/name_u] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] are beautiful, maybe you could use those for a middle, or [name_f]Melody[/name_f], as it combines the sounds! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this was helpful
Gloria is sweet, bright, and has a fun retro vibe! The double āaā situation between your first and last name gives me a bit of pause; my name is like that and it bothers me a little. Itās definitely a very subjective thing thoughāfor some people, itāll just make the combo more memorable or even make the flow more natural! So it wouldnāt be a dealbreaker for me with a name you love. [name_f]Glory[/name_f] is another option, but it definitely feels more like a bold, modern word name rather than charmingly old-fashioned. Not a bad thing at all, but it seems like maybe not your style? So I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] still gets my vote here, even taking into consideration the last name. For a middle name, I love @katkabetās suggestion of [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (or even [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Nelly[/name_u])! That would let you incorporate another of your favorite names. Plus, itās a great combo!
I was never a huge fan of it until pretty recently (I put it in the āit should never come back into styleā category along with some other names Iāve come around to since then). Then I really began to see its beauty! I especially love the nickname [name_f]Glory[/name_f] (Glo is also great!)
Thanks for all your help everyone! Atm we are loving [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
Gloria is a lovely vintage choice that deserves a revival. Sheās soft and elegant with positive connotations. I love the nickname [name_f]Glory[/name_f].
Youāve had a few suggestions from the berries so count any repeats as me being in agreement with them : )
I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is sweet! Not sure if itās quite ready for revival yet, but you honestly swung me with the nickname āGloā (or even maybe Glowy?) - gorgeous! I love [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] best as combos you like atm too [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] seems to be a good suggestion too if you like [name_u]Nelly[/name_u]! One syllable middles seem to be up your street, so Iāll list a few I think also work (sorry if Iām repeating above!)
I was literally just looking at this name today and wanting to add it to my girlās list. I love the variation of Gloriana also. I think Glory as a NN is so sweet. Gloria is beautiful and elegant to me. Loving these MN suggestions.
I do however hear Patti Smith singing Gloria every time I see the name. Not a bad connection for me, but still.
