Hey, y'all! Wanna know what's funny? I hate the name Gloria. But I love the name Glory to the moon and back a thousand times. I resist naming anything Glory though because I have an awful feeling people would call her Gloria instead.

This is my cousin's name and I personally don't think it's dumb or tacky or over-the-top religious (we are atheists), and she goes by Glo for short.

I've come across the variation "Gloree" before. It seems a little childish spelled as such, in my opinion.

Sitting here, staring at my computer screen, I have repeatedly gone between two different emotions: one which is the definition of disgust, while the other is with a cocked head, settling that it is not too disagreeable.
That being said... I ultimately am not in favor of "Glory" as a name-- "Gloria" is splendid, however.
It merely is terribly pretentious, infantile, and drastically unprofessional. The fact that it also resembles a name dominantly penned by the Puritans is not earning any points ("Temperance," "Charity," "Prudence"... there is no time in which those should be acceptable.)
All things considered, "Glory" is the lesser sin, in most contemporary cases.

Glory sounds really corny as a name and makes me think of evangelical Christians. Gloria is so much more beautiful.

Actually, I think this is a wonderful nickname for Gloria. However, with a name as pretty as Gloria, you shouldn't need a nickname. :)

The name is over-the-top and pompous, to say the least. It sounds like the type of name a religious nut who also happens to be megalomaniacal and egomaniacal alike would pick for their daughter, with all sorts of larger-than-life plans for the poor girl. Tacky indeed.

Oh, and in addition to what I wrote before, this is something many people shout in a sarcastic manner, and then there are the people who do it in moments of religious euphoria and people who do it in other positive circumstances. I bet some people shout this during climax, too. It would be quite a weird name for all these reasons.

How can you say that this can be used as a religious phrase and something to shout during an orgasm all in the same breath? That might be a wee offensive to some people here, sweetie. As for the name, it's not bad. It's kinda cute. It's not tacky or made-up sounding, but I probably wouldn't use it for my kid.
