Am I risking it?

What's your opinion about a baby girl's name 'Avanti'? I absolutely
love the name. It has a nice meaning in quite a few languages.

Upon a search on this ng I found out about the non-latex brand. I wish
I hadn't searched

Anyways, what's your take on this name? If I have a girl and I name
her Avanti, will my baby be forever teased?

Thanks.

languages.

What can you find? All I can see is a vague "Ancient Malwa" (wassat?)
in Hindi and "forward, advanced" in Italian. And I'd steer clear of
that because it was the name of Mussolini's fascist newspaper.

I think it's a lovely word but I wouldn't use it for a name. My 2p.

My SD's best friend is named Avanti. Her family is from India. She's a
very intelligent, sweet girl, and I think it's a pretty name.

BTW, my SD, a freshman in high school, has many friends with unusual (to
me), ethnic names. She doesn't seem to find them strange at all and just
takes them in stride. Sometimes the kids are given nicknames, such as the
boy named Salman who they call "Fish" but not to tease.

Take care,

and stepmom to Victoria (14y)

It's a car, isn't it? It could always be worse -- I knew a woman named
Buick.

My first thought was - it sounds like a car. Sorry.

So is Aurora, but I think it's a terrific name g!

I guess the problem with Avanti, to my ear, is that it sounds to much like
the name of a product and not of a person. But I'm not sure everyone would
hear it that way. They might think the same about Aurora!

Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy."
Me (later)--"You should feel flattered."

Aurora just makes me think of a town near me. I have no opinion of that
town, I just know there is one with that name.
