Thoughts on Gloria

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 donā€™t 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 :slight_smile:

I canā€™t get over how similar it is to ā€œgloriousā€.

I like [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]! Itā€™s pretty and a little old-fashioned but not really dated to a particular period.

Gloria is really sweet and retro.

I love [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]! It makes me think of [name_f]Morning[/name_f] [name_f]Glory[/name_f] flowers.

My eight year old niece is [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]! She goes by Glo and Glowey. It seems very fresh and sweet on a real, live child, in my opinion.

Gloria is sweet, bright, and has a fun retro vibe! The double ā€œaā€ situation between your first and last name gives me a bit of pause; my name is like that and it bothers me a little. Itā€™s definitely a very subjective thing thoughā€“for some people, itā€™ll just make the combo more memorable or even make the flow more natural! So it wouldnā€™t 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 @katkabetā€™s 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, itā€™s a great combo!

I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is a lovely name!

I was never a huge fan of it until pretty recently (I put it in the ā€œit should never come back into styleā€ category along with some other names Iā€™ve come around to since then). Then I really began to see its beauty! I especially love the nickname [name_f]Glory[/name_f] :star_struck: (Glo is also great!)

These sound nice to me~

Thanks so much for your suggestions!

I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is lovely!

Gloria is a lovely vintage choice that deserves a revival. Sheā€™s soft and elegant with positive connotations. I love the nickname [name_f]Glory[/name_f].

Youā€™ve had a few suggestions from the berries so count any repeats as me being in agreement with them : )

Hope this helped

Love it, one of my favorite names.

I think [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is sweet! Not sure if itā€™s quite ready for revival yet, but you honestly swung me with the nickname ā€˜Gloā€™ (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 :slight_smile: [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 Iā€™ll list a few I think also work (sorry if Iā€™m repeating above!)

Gloria [name_f]Faye[/name_f]/Fae
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]/Neve
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f]

I was literally just looking at this name today and wanting to add it to my girlā€™s 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.

Definitely [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. It is my sisterā€™s name.
