[Opinions] Januaria?
What do you think about this one?
Even though it is a real name, does it come off like I'm trying to make January more like a name?
Does it matter when Januaria is born (in January, any month but January, other)?
Without being told, do you think that anyone would associate it with the place in Brazil called Januaria?
How do you think it is best used (first, middle, cat)?
How would you pronounce it (jan-yoo-AIR-ee-ah, jan-yoo-AHR-ee-ah, other)?
What nickname(s) do you like (Jan, Ria, none, other)?

- Love it! I like the French form Janvière and the Italian form Gennara as well.-It doesn't come across like that to me but I think it will to other people.-Doesn't matter when the person is born.-I wouldn't associate it with the place but my first association is Princess Januaria of Brazil.-Probably best in the middle.-In English like the month with an A but in my first lanuage(Polish) yah-noo-AH-ryah.-Nicknames: Aria, Jana, Janie

Without being told, do you think that anyone would associate it with the place in Brazil called Januaria? I'd think of Rio de Janairo first, not Januaria (I've never heard of Januaria before)
How do you think it is best used (first, middle, cat)? mn or pet
How would you pronounce it jan-yoo-AHR-ee-ah

1. I don't dislike it, but it looks like someone's trying to gussy up January.2. Yes.3. It doesn't matter to me but I'm sure you'll get asked about the baby's birth date a lot.4. No.5. Middle.6. jan-yoo-AIR-ee-ah7. Jan is probably best, though Jari (prn like Jerry) could also work.

My first thought was "Wow, that looks like January."I think it would best be used in the middle name spot.

What do you think about this one? nms prefer January itself, and for a boy.

I don't like the look or sound of it.
It does come off like an attempt at making January a name.
It wouldn't matter when the person was born, no.
It may be associated with the place, depending on where you live. I'm sure plenty of people would never have heard of it.
Cat. Haha.
The first prn.
Janny. It would be a really cute cat name, actually.
