What do you think?

[littledancer]

Of the name Aphra Grace?

I love the history behind the name (The first female professional writer, rather a strong-in-charge woman).

How do you pronounce aphra? Like AFRA? I like Grace a lot.

 

[littledancer]

Yes, it's pronounced AFRA

I like Grace, but am not too keen on Aphra

 

[Beautywithin]

i like it.. is different.... x

 

[morri]

Rather strange name has a very fricative sound to it I think.

 

[littledancer]

"Fricative" normally means when you use one consonant to replace another- as in S for F with forced breath, so I'm not sure how a name can sound Fricative lol

I like Grace as well.. dont really like Aphra.. feels like Im saying it wrong.. or like Im not speaking right..

 

[littledancer]

Oh well, I guess that is the way with truly unusual names, it's a hard-sell with most

I still love it

 

[lori]

I love Aphra!

 

[Twilight]

I'm not too keen on Aphra, sorry

 

[sun]

I think it is a great name- and if you love it you should go for it. I especially love naming it after Aphra Behn - such a great history to the name.

 

[AHB238]

I love it!

Great history and different. I like different names. Am biased about the Grace bit!!

 

[Kimmer]

I'm not keen on Aphra.. It won't take long til other kids turn it into Afro!

 

[Ilove]

[alibaba24]
