Alondra

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I love this name and I don't understand why it isn't very popular. But, to each their own. It's a unique find. I've only met two girls named Alondra and one was Hispanic with very curly hair while the other had bright red hair with grey eyes. I can picture the name on any girl. It's formal, fun, different, and it has rhythm to it. It's really fun to write and there isn't any nasal when you say it. I recommend this name to expecting mothers. It's definitely one of my favorite names, definitely.

I like it. It's very unique.

Well, I think the name Alondra sounds strong. Thanks to my parents for giving me such a beautiful name :)

I must disagree with the notion that this name sounds unprofessional. It sounds very much like Alana and Cassandra and is not made up. Compare this to names like Paisley, Kinsley, or made up nonsense like Acelyn, this name holds a level of sophistication the former don't.

My name is Alondra and I love it. It is from an artist and it is a bird.

This name makes me think of a laundromat.

I think the name "Alondra" is rather stricking, and impressive!

I have never, never been seen as unprofessional, at least so far in my career within the art world. I am fully Mexican, so my last name does compliment it so much that when I get married, I plan on keeping it. As far as jokes, usually people try to sing Lady GaGa's "Alejandro" with that name in its place only to find the syllables don't match. I have always been complimented on how lovely it is (along with my signature and way I print my name) It is very subjective and depends on who and how they write it or pronounce it, as it is from a foreign language.

There is a girl that transferred out of state into my school named Alondra. I think it's a very, very pretty name myself.

This is a very beautiful name. I've also seen it spelled Alandra which I also like.

Unfortunately, especially the United States, the name "Alondra" will be seen as a unprofessional, unintelligent, pompous, childish, and perhaps moreso than the others: "kre8tiv" (made-up). If the child in question is of Spanish decent and bears a surname to pair, there may be a slight, very slim chance of acceptance. I urge parents to take caution, however. Consider all the possibilities... "Will the name prove to be a barrier in the professional world?" "Will s/he be wrongly denied success?" "Will s/he be subject to mocking?" and "Will I be thanked later in life for the name given?"

Having said that; I personally find this name incredibly hard to swallow. It is hard and rough to the ear... very unattractive when written, as well.

I like this name.
I don't care what "Francesca" says. How boring it would be if everybody has a white collar corporate name. If companies are hiring on the basis of a name, my kid won't apply.

I think I have a pretty cool name. I've never been found unprofessional for it, no one's ever mocked it, in fact it's a hard name to make. I mean people could mock the name Justine by saying "Just-in-A-Minute Justine" but nothing sounds like Alondra. Besides other names like Alejandra, but that's a simple mistake and can be corrected by saying "No, it's Alondra." and I've never been wrongly denied success for it. People are actually always telling me how nice it is. I don't think it's ugly when written, and it's not hard to swallow. So The previous comment that said all this stuff is completely inaccurate. Therefore name your kid Alondra if you want and don't be scared. Name your kid Ponyboy Curtis if you want. Be free and do what you want, it's none of society's business what your kid's name is.

I must disagree with this person's comment. I don't see anything remotely "unintelligent","pompous" or "kre8tiv" about the name Alondra. I think it's a perfectly fine name.

I love this name a lot! Maybe my view is sort of jaded, as this is close to my name /Alana/ but I truly think that Alondra is a beautiful Spanish name.

This is a beautiful strong name.
