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 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.
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.
