Azura is an underappreciated color name. I agree, it does sound a bit like the name of a character, but I can easily picture it on a spunky little kid who's always smiling and up to some kind of mischief. I love hearing it, and I can't wait to meet an Azura myself someday.
Pretty name, and azure is a lovely color, but my immediate association is with the character from Fire Emblem: Fates. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it means my opinion of it is pretty similar to my opinion of the name Zelda, meaning that I like the name, and it makes me think of a good character from a videogame, but it's so heavily associated with said character that I have a hard time picturing it on an actual person.
Azura was the daughter of Adam and Eve according to the Book of Jubilees, an ancient Jewish text considered canonical by some Christian and Jewish churches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Jubilees.
Azura was such a great character in Fire Emblem Fates for the Nintendo 3DS and I think she’s such a pretty character and is an amazing singer. A good association for me, and if this is a name in the Bible, then that’s also a decent enough reason for me to use it.
I prefer this name to Azure, though Azure is pretty too. It reminds me of the character Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and she was quite the awesome villain. Aside from that, it sounds like the name of someone strong and forceful, who hasn't a care in the world about other people's opinions of her and asserts herself with grace. Love it, recommend it.
I like this spelling more than "Azure", but I still feel weird about naming my kid after a color. I like "Skye" more than "Sky", and "Azura" more than "Azure". If I would ever name my kid after a color (tough chance), I would probably add a letter or something to 'modernize' it.
Azura is the name of a Daedric Princess (like a goddess) in the Elder Scrolls video game series. She is the lady of dawn and dusk, and maintains the domain of Moonshadow, a twilight realm of shades and half-thoughts.

I generally don't like names with a 'z' or a stressed 'z' sound, but I think this is a really cool and pretty name. I'm not happy about it being Biblical, so I wouldn't use it myself, but as long as it doesn't catch on, it sounds cool, even if quite foreign. Instead of the Bible, this track reminds me of a track by 808 State titled Azura. I don't like it much, though. It's the memories I like.
According to Jewish tradition, Azura is the twin sister of the Biblical Abel, and becomes the wife of Seth/Chet, her youngest brother, since Abel died. Cain also had a twin sister that became his wife, Awan.
