Re: Nuria
in reply to a message by overtheclouds
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.
