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. |

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. 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. Jac |

If I have a girl and I name her Avanti, will my baby be forever teased? 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, -Patty, mom to Corinne (6y) and Nathan (nearly 4y!) and stepmom to Victoria (14y) |

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! -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy." Me (later)--"You should feel flattered." All opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful. Needless to say, they are not those of my Internet Service Provider, its other subscribers or lackeys. Anyone who says otherwise is itchin' for a fight. -- with apologies to Michael Feldman |

I have no opinion of that town, I just know there is one with that name. |
