So unique and full of energy. I feel like this would be a perfect name for me because I play electric guitar.

This name is actually so pretty, though I hate that it reminds me of that gross “Electra complex” theory.

My name is Electra and I love that it is. Though I am often called electricity, electric current and the likes which I find rather silly, still I am glad I was named Electra. It's a powerful name and I hope to live up to it.
My name is Electra, and I'm glad it is too. It's a powerful name of a powerful goddess. But, as a kid I was teased a lot as kids called me electricity, internet, wi-fi etc. Where did they come up with this I don't know. But it's an unusual name that should be celebrated not made fun of because hardly any people have this unique name.
It's a bit "out there", but it's kind of pretty and cool-sounding. I think this spelling looks and flows better than Elektra. The Italian version Elettra is nice as well.
I love the name Electra, my parents almost used it for me, and I would have preferred it if they had. Sadly, even though it sounds nice, it's a name you have to be careful with because of it's not-so-pleasant origins.

I would like it... but I can't not think of Carmen Electra.
This name is so electric. I love it! It has an extra spark. :-) And I definitely prefer Electra to Elektra--the 'k' in the middle looks odd to me, and (in my eyes) interrupts the flow. I think Electra is fitting for a child, an adult, and an older woman. It is spunky, that's for sure.

I think this name could age with you. I can picture baby Electra, child Electra teenage Electra, whatever. It always sounded very intelligent to me.
I think this is a really cool and ultra-futuristic name. Hmm, perhaps a bit too futuristic for my tastes, I suppose. I think it would suit somebody born in the 23rd Century just fine, though. :)
This is a very cool name. It's just that the history of the name (the Greek myth, the Electra Complex), slightly ruins it for me. Still, a great-sounding name.
Besides being the name of a murderer in a story, and sounding like some kind of supervillian with lightning powers, imagine how this name fits with most last names. Electra Johnston...?
The jokes about the Electra Complex would be endless. Besides, this name sounds like a pseudonym for an over-the-top singer or actress or something. Sure, it sounds pretty cool, but how cool will it be when the woman is 45 years old, let alone 60? The name just doesn't come off that spunky on someone who's past the age of spunk. Of course, it could be that the girl turns out quite shy or just really ordinary and conventional and hates the attention her name brings.
I think Electra is a cool name. It makes me think of the word "electric". It makes me think of a girl who is very unique, some would say weird, kind of a punk-rocker, and isn't afraid to be herself. Though I like to spell it Elektra better. The K makes it seem harder and more original.
My cousin's name is Electra, and I had an ancestor named Electa. Origins of the name, meaning, and namesakes are, to some extent, unimportant if you like the name.
Not a nice name, given the background, naming someone shouldn't be just about how it sounds or what it means, the history behind the name is as important.
