I have a friend who's expecting a girl in June. She wants to name her girl Azula, which no one can talk her out of or negotiate on because she's so in love with the name. (I will never understand why people get emotionally attached to names.) But she's clueless on middle names, and the baby's father is convinced any name he picks out will be stupid, so they're open to suggestions. Since I'm uncreative and this community is filled with varying opinions, I thought I'd ask here.

And no, they could not be swayed on naming the girl after Avatar: The Last Airbender's villain. They like it too much. Personally I don't think it's a big deal, since most kids I know would be like 'oh cool it's like on the show!', but it is a bit tricky to pair with a middle name.

Their last name is Gray, if that helps.

Azula Gray? LOL, they do know that azul means blue, right? Kid's going to be named blue gray. Azula is not a bad name IMO, but it really doesn't go with the surname.

I thought the same thing "Blue Gray"

How about Rose for the middle name? BlueAzula Rose Gray.

Azula Gray? I actually like it. But it definitely is hard to pair, maybe they should try the usual middle names like Ann, Marie, or Christine.

Haha, Azula Ann Gray, like Blue and Gray.

Or they could not give her a middle name, just go with the first and last.

I actually think Azula Gray sounds kind of awesome, even if it does mean blue grey. I didn't know it was from the show/movie. Of course, a lot of kids probably would and if the name is that of the villain, well, I don't know if kids would be cool or be cruel.

I haven't read all of the suggestions so sorry if there are any repeats.

Azula Sarah Gray
Azula Persephone Gray
Azula Daphne Gray
Azula Felicity Gray
Azula Charlotte Gray
Azula Verity Gray
Azula Penelope Gray

Well, I haven't seen the movie, but in the cartoon Azula is an awesome villain. Anyway, seconding Felicity, Penelope and Verity.
