It's okay, but I wouldn't use it, because of the store. I can't think of anything else with the name.

I love Sephora!

I pronounce it like they did in the 10 Commandments "seph-ra." I think a lot of people are unfamiliar with the beauty store of the same name, so I don't think that would be a problem.

Sephora is a name that you can find on the Bad Baby Names Hall of Shame, thanks to that store. If that store did not exist, I would say go for it. Kind of has a Final Fantasy type flair to it, which I like but that store makes Sephora nearly unusable in my opinion.

I've actually never thought of it as a name, I just completely associate it with the makeup store. Now that I think of it like that, it's beautiful! However, people living in the US might find it odd, which is too bad since it has such a pretty sound and meaning. Maybe Sapphira? Zipporah itself is pretty as well.

Sephora Rose (although Rose is typically a 'filler', I really love it here)
Sephora Lauren
Sephora Nightingale (saw this on a response, thought the combo was absolutely perfect)

Well, I really love Zipporah. Sephora, not so much. I just can't get away from the association with the store. Plus I love the name Zippy for Zipporah.

It's by no means a bad name, though, and I'm sure plenty of people aren't familiar with the store. Using another spelling like Seffora or Sepphora would probably help cut down associations with the store, too.

I like it a lot, it is a beautiful name. I like the nicknames Sephie or Sora or even Ora.

Any you like?

Ooh, very pretty name. There isn't much wrong with it other than the beauty store reference. Cute nn could be Sephie.

I love Sephora! To be honest, I only recently realized there was a beauty store by that name, so I don't even really think of it. I first came across Sephora when trying to find a full name for the nn Sephi/Sephie/Sephy. Sephie is one of my favorite comic book characters (Meridian from CrossGen), though in her case it is a nn for Persephone.

I love it. I live in the US and I didn't know it was a beauty store.

Sephie ("Seffy") ... Phora? There are no good short forms. That'd chill me on it, even if not for the beauty store.
