Gloria?

[katemonster]

DH isn't a fan, so I won't use it, but I'm just curious on your thoughts on Gloria. I think it could be a classic that comes back.

[bigrock74]

Every time I hear the name Gloria, I think of Laura Branigan and I sing the song in my head.

[ashiscute]

I have a hard time picturing it on a young girl. I don't care for it and don't think it feels feminine like a lot of the names making a comeback.

[leahb12]

I want to love it, but I can't. I don't dislike it, but I don't like it nearly as much as some of the other "vintage" names that are becoming more popular.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I love it. It's definitely an underused classic. If he doesn't like Gloria, I think Gioia (pronounced joy-a) is a great alternative.

[normadix]

I think it is a sweet and underused name. I can totally picture it on a little girl and adult.

I think of Van Morrison - dang, I love it even more now that you brought up the Laura B song! In a gp way...

[AleWife]

I think Gloria is a strong, beautiful name.

[ugotstarbucked]

Gloria is great.

[beevol]

It's my grandmother's name and I love it!

[zebrapanther1311]

It's a little too clunky for my taste but I could see it making a comeback.

[EvaAzalea]

I like it a lot better than a lot of other vintage names making a come back.

[bromios]

It's nice enough. I can't get terribly excited over it, but there's nothing wrong with it either. Honestly, the only association I have is Frances' little sister from the children's books about that family of badgers.

Still feels too old lady for me, not cool vintage

[quiltygal23]

I've always liked that name. It used to be one of the names I used as a kid when we played pretend, I was usually "Gloria Gibson" or "Coral Hart" Um, what???

[reginaphalange]

I thiiink I like it but I can't really decide. I like it more on an adult but I could get used to it on a kid

[Idani]

Love

[sweetpeabee]

I might be biased because I know an absolutely amazing person named Gloria, but I like it!

[Deleted]

I like it! Reminds me of several songs which to me proves it has an enduring quality and surprisingly is underused today.

[minervamae]

I think Madagascar movies. Especially the Valentine's Day short.

[billyhorrible]

I like it. But I went to Jr. High/High School with a Gloria, so it probably seems less "old lady" to me. (Even though it was also the name of one of the older providers at my son's daycare)

[setsuna17]

It's not bad, but not my favorite.

[joy]

I love it. In a weird, notsureIcoulduseit, but Ireallykindawanttouseit way.

[divinemsbee]

I love it entirely. It's in my '2nd girl, if that happens' pile only because it doesn't flow well with the middle name I want for the first girl. But I adore it.

[coconuthead]

I like it. I think it is feminine, classic, and underused, sweet but with a little backbone.

Hahaha that is what I was singing to my self as I opened the post!

[DanaScullyX]

Nothing wrong with it, but doesn't strike my fancy. I don't like the sound.

[macchiatto]

I have loved it since I was pregnant with my 6-year-olds, but when I did a name poll on it, it didn't get a very positive response. Sad. I'm glad to see it has a few more fans on this board!

[lovemymuttzillas]

I like it but it's my grandmother's name and my middle name so I'm a little biased.

[Deleted]

I love Gloria. I think it's a beautiful, strong, feminine name for a girl. I get that it might not fit the cute profile for a baby, buy this baby will eventually become an adult and that name will fit a young lady perfectly!
