Am I risking it?
I've never heard this name before, but at first glance I was thinking of
Armani brand stuff (clothes and pocketbooks? I'm not even sure) Keep in mind that NO MATTER what name you pick, some mean and nasty child will think of some way to use it to pick on your child. "ted" wrote in message om... 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. |

But *duh*---no one seemed to catch that "Avanti" is the name of a condom brand, at which the OP hinted. Yes, I think there might be a problem if your child's name was the same as the name of a brand of condom. :-) More likely to be a hardship in the teenaged years. Otherwise, I'm all for naming your child a name that has a personal meaning for *you*. Jane, whose 4 1/2 yr old and 2 1/2 yr old seem to be living up to their names |

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 makes me think of the aurora borealis.. lights in the sky. I like it. Avanti is not something *I* would name a child, but my dil might have as she is Indian. I think almost any name can end up something a child is teased about though. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. The Outer Limits |

I caught that it was the name of a condom brand, but it's not one that I'm
familiar with. Although frankly, and maybe it's TMI, I haven't been familiar with a condom in years. But, if the brand continues to be used and sold, I do think it would be a bad choice. It could sound like she was an oops baby, so you named her after the brand of condom that failed. As others have said, it sounds like a brand name to me, not a person's name. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Check out our Adoption Page at http://home.earthlink.net/~jamielee6 "jane.elizabeth" wrote in message ...

It's not a very popular brand, so who knows how long it will be around? And actually, it isn't a brand. Durex is the brand, Avanti is the name of the model, so to speak. It is, as far as I can tell, one of a thousand or so model names. P. Tierney |

Am I risking it?
I am from India, residing in India and as somebody already said Avanti
is the name of a historical city in India. I hear the name Avantika more often than Avanti around me. Avantika means the princess of Avanti (or some similar meaning). BTW I loved the name Avantika. But we ended up naming our DD, Ananya (meaning unique in sanskrit). Thank you! (ted) wrote in message . com... What's your opinion about a baby girl's name 'Avanti'? I absolutely love the name.

I'm afraid that's what it sounds like to me too. Same here. And knowing it's the name of so many different products, I'd worry that god forbid one of the products becomes really popular in your area when she's older.... you could end up with a child named the equivalent of "Coke" or "Phillip Morris".
