Click on this link to see a picture of a boat named "Glamaris":

"Glamaris" is rather exotic. You have said it many times, haven't you? And, it grows on you. It sounds like "amethyst", the precious jewel, or "calamaris", the squid. Nicknames might go, "Glammy", or "Glams". I'm not sure a girl raised with the concept of "glamor" as her identifying focus is ever going to win the Nobel Peace Prize or find the cure for malaria, though. Maybe she'll be good at selling make-up at a nice department store. If I were hiring someone for the make-up department and someone for a better-paying supervisory position, I'd put the girl with the name "Glamaris" in the make-up department for sure because clearly that name and that field go together, regardless if she was qualified for the better paying job or not. Something to think about. Also, if I had to choose between two people for a scholarship worth thousands of dollars, I would be prejudiced against the name "Glamaris" for some reason, as though maybe she would not be a serious student and be more interested in her nails kinda person. I personally would name my boat or my poodle this pretty name, but not a little girl who has a lifelong, up-hill battle to fight anyway to be taken seriously just because she's female.

I know that you are thinking that it would be giving a name that is a virtue that you value. And in a way, I'd love to say that it's no more "wrong" than the first person to name their child Joy or Hope, or Faith. I'd like to say that, but the truth is that I wouldn't mind being named Joy, I would NOT want to named Glamaris (any spelling). If you really love it you could always give it as a middle name that way your daughter can decide if it "suits" her later. Maybe you can find a name that you think of as glamorous- either because it is the name of the most glamorous woman you can think of- (for me that's Grace Kelly)
or a name like Gem, ,
Genevieve, Alexandra, Jacqueline, Sabina, Isabella, Salome, Samara, and Zaria, all sound glamorous to me.
Good Luck and happy naming.

What if she's a cute tomboy? And not in the least bit glamorous?
Sorry, but that's more a label than a name.

I wouldn't give either name to a small child. She'll have to listen to stripper jokes her whole life - and so will you.
It could be her middle name, but I would use the traditional spelling. You could name her Maris.
Good luck, and remember that she'll never be Vice President of International Marketing if all her coworkers can see in their heads is an image of her in stiletto heels on a stage.

its very pretty but think about it this way when your baby grows up and goes to college and becomes a professional would u think because of her name she would be taken seriously?also spelled differently will just give a lifetime of headaches take it from a person with a oddly spelled name i feel like i spend half my life explaining to people how to spell my name

Eeek! Keep in mind you child will have to endure being made fun of with a weird name. You should go with something a littl less over the top.

Give that baby a real name. Don't give it a adjective but spelled differently.
I personally like Chloe. It's not comman but its normal.

To me...it sounds like a name that a little girl, teenager, young lady, momma, and grandma would have to live up to. Not impossible, but...........well, you get the pic.
Good Luck

No way!!! It is more a nickname than a real name. Maybe name her Gwen or something close to glamoris. Something more normal

Looks like it's spelled wrong and your child will constantly have to spell it, which is not fun - trust me.
