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.

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.
