Reminds me of tequila.

I LOVE this name. My best friend and I wrote a book, and Aquila was the name of one of our female protagonists. We gave her family a "bird" vibe, so all of her family members were named after birds (Aquila, Corvus, Columba, Falco, Strix, Lanius, and Vultur). I think that Aquila is a perfect name for a feisty young girl, but it can also work for a sweet person too. This name is one of my favourites.

Aquila means "eagle" in Italian too and there is a city in Abruzzo (a region of Italy) called L'Aquila, I didn't know it was used as a given name.

I prefer Aquila as feminine name. In fact, it is grammatically feminine.
If we want to use a masculine form, Aquilino is better. I would avoid it as a masculine form because it would be too close to Attila.
It could be a lovely name. It is a pity that it is nearly extinct.

Since National statistics (1999-) Aquila has been used just two years in Italy: in 2004 as feminine name (less than five babies) while in 2010 as masculine name (less than five babies).

Could anyone tell me where or when Aquila was used as a feminine name? I want to know because I named a female character in my story Aquila, thinking that because it's grammatically feminine in Latin it'd be used for girls. But Wikipedia only mentions males having this as a first name, so I'm confused...

Strong's Concordance shows that the New Testament name, as written in Greek, is as follows:
Ἀκύλας.

Ἀκύλας.

Aquila is close to an alcoholic drink. I strongly advice not to use this name- very silly.

Saying the 'qu' as 'kw' is an anglicized mispronunciation of this Latin name. The latinized/romance language pronunciation is uh-KEE-luh. I hope the BTN editors change it on the main Aquila page to return this name to its origins. (ie., you wouldn't pronounce Miguel as "mee-gwel" would you?)

The Classical Latin pronunciation of this name is 'u-KWI-lu', so no, 'uh-KEE-luh' isn't the "latinized/romance language pronunciation". Also, considering that Aquila is originally a Latin name, there is no way to "latinize" it.

This name in Spanish is pronounced uh-KEE-la. I expect that is true for a few other nationalities too.
