This is a gorgeous song. That model, gen z “IT” girl, Cara Delevingne can really sing. Love her vocals. Gorgeous voice.
The name I chose for my confirmation in 7th grade is “Allaire”. One of my old friends, Danielle, chose “Claire.” So I wanted something French and similar to hers. I had a conversation with Sonia Zabala about it. And we stumbled on the name – “Allaire.” It was a EUREKA moment. Allaire is French for Hilary. Hilary means “Cheerful” in French. So one of my personal saints is St. Hilary. This was way before the Clintons showed up. I became Allaire in 1985. Clintons showed up in 1992.
Allaire is a town in New Jersey. It’s also a principality-commune in France.
I derive my Hawaiian name from Allaire. “Leilara” which I say means warm, fragrant mountain mist. Ariella Archer is another name I use. Ariella means Lion of God. I can be quite the regal Lion too. El Arial, La Ariel.
They even covet my confirmation name. It’s just so f-ing incredible to be me.
