What are your thoughts on the name Vega? As a girls' name. Nameberry has it listed as unisex for some reason. Would you think of it as unisex?I know it reminds some people of Las Vegas. Does that association bother you? Would the city be your first thought?(I noticed the user Jarus left a long and interesting comment on it, in relation to the surname, if you feel like reading.)Thanks in advance :)

Hm. Vega does sound a little sparkly, even if I didn't consciously think of Las Vegas. But yeah, definitely girl, not unisex.

Oddly enough I thought of the Chevy Vega. No idea how I heard of it, because I wasn't born until 14 years after it was no longer made... It was known for it's problematic engineering, and I kind of get a cheap vibe from the name, because I'm thinking of a car that's not worth your money.... I know that's a weird association, but it's what my brain did.I don't find it unisex at all.

On "The Big Bang Theory", Howard tells the gang about a stripper he met, named Vega, who had a glitter-clumping problem.

I like it. 'Vega' just reminds me of the star, but 'Vegas' would remind me too much of Las Vegas.

I like it, but only for a girl.

It doesn't remind me of Las Vegas so much as it reminds me of the Chevy Vega. Also Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction.

I can't believe I didn't even think of the Vega brothers! (Vincent and also Vic Vega from Reservoir Dogs)

For me it's a GP for a boy. The city is nowhere near my first thought. First thought:
Vega is a (male) character from Street Fighter and I used to play that a lot when I was younger.Second thought:
Astrological associations. I kinda think the meaning is more fitting for a boy as well.Vega for a girl would be nice. It feels like the same category as Nova, which I like a lot.

Vega is a pretty name, but it does remind me of Las Vegas. What about Veda for a girl?
