[Opinions] Re: Allira?
As an aside, a friend once went on a wild goose chase thinking the name of an ancestor was Aquito. An "expert" on the Romanies whom she consulted through a genealogy magazine assured her that, yes, Aquito quite possibly pointed to a Romany ancestor. Bull****!!! It transpired much later that the modern Mormon Church member who had transcribed the ancestor's name misread it - and it was Aquilo, a masculine version of Aquila.

Aquila is also a masculine name. Aquilia and Aquilina were feminine forms that saw use in ancient Rome. (not saying Aquilo isn't a form just saying that Aquila is also a masculine form)
