Why does everyone hate the name Allegra so darn much?

by Admin on September 7, 2010

I mean, Allegra was a beautiful name long before it was ever a medication. I still think it is….

I personally find Allegra to be a beautiful name! I do not associate it with the medicine as I know a little girl with this name.

I think it’s a great name! It took me a while to get over the fact that it’s medication, but now I think Allegra, that’s a name, not Allegra, isn’t that some medicine?

I don’t hate it.

they hate BECAUSE its a medication wouldnt that be weird in a doctors office "for Allegra i’m going to precribe Allegra" thats as retarded as naming your kid Plummer and when he’s older he becomes a Plumber

I like that name. When I was little I used to love this show called "allegras window". That was where I first heard the name.

I really like it and would actually consider it. I graduated with a girl named Allegra. I always loved her name.

I think its a beautiful name. Classic and graceful. do it.

I don’t think of them medicine first.

First I think of Allegra’s Window which was a kids show I watched growing up

Then I think Allegra was the name of the girl in the movie Hitch

Then I think of the medicine.

I like it as a name.

I think it is a lovely name, but I would never use it because you can’t escape the popular association of the medication. I don’t hate it, certainly, but I also wouldn’t want to have it.

its a medication and everyone will make that connection first, but if you want yourself and your child going threw that, then go for it

I think it is a lovely name! It is so pretty and appealing and it means "joyous", what’s not to love?
The medicine isn’t what immediately comes to mind for me.

I don’t hate it, I actually like the sound of it. Allegra is not a favourite of mine, but it’s still nice.

It sounds like some sort of spider, or snake.

I used to love it but now I think it’s a bit pretentious:(

Because I take that medication so I can’t imagine it on a person. Just like the name Addison…I can’t imagine it on a person because I knew someone with Addison’s Disease.

I LOVEEEE ALLEGRA! It’s so pretty, who cares if it’s a medication?
