Apollonia.

Thoughts? :) Polly is the most obvious nickname that comes to mind, by the way - any others you can think of? ;)

I think of Apollonia from The Godfather; she gets blown up in wired car. :-/ Also I believe there's an "adult actress" by that name. I like it otherwise, I just have strange references for it.

I don't care for it. I don't care for the male name Apollo, so this name isn't much better. They both don't feel like a name to me. Sorry.
