Why would you name someone “Water”?

Aqua's cute but Agua is just plain weird.

Aqua does sound like a stage name (reminds me of Aqua from the Cheetah Girls) and I kinda like it in that context, but as a real name, eh not so much. Agua is ridiculous.

I think you're really, really bored. THe number of name or/and or wdyt is ridiculous. And Bingo, Chad & Stacey, and now this is absurd.

Terrible

I think Aquamarine and Aquarius are ok as names, so I can see it as a NN for those. And I don't really mind Ocean, River, Rain, Marina. Aqua reminds me of the band (they did "Barbie Girl" which is silly), Aquaman, Aquavera (sounds like a company name), aquariums, and beyond that sounds generic, but I could get used it. I don't know exactly how Agua would come across in Spanish other than Water, but in English 'aqua' might as well be 'bottled water' or 'pretentious/cartoonish/corporate word for water'.

I don't know what the standards are for "good celeb names". If you want your name to stand out in movie credits or something, sure, Aqua seems pretty good? I've always thought Awkwafina was a cool stage name, but I wouldn't pick it for a baby.

Hopeless for any purpose. Ocean is bad enough!

I agree that both are silly however I like Aquila. Though I wouldn’t use them personally there is also Aquilina and Aquilinus

I think they're both quite silly, especially Agua. Agua particularly does not have a pleasant sound, it's awkward.
