Sapphira

What are your thoughts? It's not my favorite or anything, so feel free to be as honest as you want. I anticipate many of the comments will go more in a stripper direction, and while I understand that point of view, I'd also like some more open-minded opinions on if you actually knew or imagined knowing a real normal girl/woman who was NOT a stripper, do you think you'd get used to it or even like it?

I just think it has so much potential. I love the stone (my birth stone) and I love the way the name looks written down and the way it sounds too. I just wonder if it's a hopelessly stigmatized name.

And what is it about Ruby, Opal, and Pearl that makes them more acceptable as names anyway?

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Edit: No, I do not mean Sapphire. I mean Sapphira. (sa-FEAR-uh or sa-FIE-rah) Separate but obviously related. I would've thought that was obvious, but I guess some of you haven't heard the name version before.

Do you mean Sapphire? Because that's what the stone is called, not "Sapphira." I'm indifferent to "Sapphire" (don't really like it myself, but whatever) but I'm going to have to go with stripper on "Sapphira."

No, I mean Sapphira (http://behindthename.com/php/search.php?sourceid=Mozilla-search&terms=sapphira&nmd=n&gender=both&operator=or).

Nice tone.

oddly enough, the way that behind the name has it prn. (sa- FIE- ra), actually is growing on me a little. but would you definitely want to prn. it sa-FEAR-a? or are you flexible? (as if your flexibility will keep people from prn. it wrong... lol) hopefully, you know what I mean. :)

I think most people would say it sa-FEAR-uh, but maybe not. Good question. There was a post about it on the message board at behind the name, and that seemed to be the majority's preference there. I'm flexible on it but sa-FIE-ra kind of makes me think of Elvira for some reason, lol.

It was an honest question.
And I've heard Sapphire used as a name before (only once, and a long time ago), actually, but never Sapphira.
