Nuria is a common Catalan name, pronounced NOO-ree-a. I've noticed Noor / Nur gets a lot of love on the name forums and blogs - what are your thoughts on Nuria?

I used to like it but I've gone off it, now it sounds vaguely medical to me. It's a pretty colour though, like sunny/fiery orange yellow.

It doesn't really grab me... at least not in a good way... I know it has nothing to do w/ the name, but for some reason, the first thing that came to mind was diarrhea... Teasing potential found easily there in En. countries... Possibly not a problem in some other countries though.

But plenty of other names end in -ria, like Maria. I don't think it would cause teasing.

When names are less common, they seem to draw more attention to themselves... and I'd be surprised if there haven't been at least a few Marias over the years who've had stupid diarrhea comments from people, despite the name's popularity.

Nuria is pretty! I like it much better than Nur / Noor, actually. For a while I thought Nuria was an elaboration, considering that Nura is a strictly feminine form of Nur. For me, Nura vs. Nuria is the more difficult debate...

Oddly enough, my first thought was "nutria", which, as you may know, is a sort of muskrat, an acquatic animal.(I watch a lot of Animal Planet.)So, the name wouldn't fly for me,but not everyone thinks of muskrats! I have a young relative(5 years old) who has Noor as her middle name.

I like Nura. I've never thought much about Nuria, but I do like it. It's more substantial than Nur/Noor and fits more with a popular syllable pattern, so I think it would be a lot easier to use Nuria as a first name than Nur/Noor.
