I dislike it, reminds me of the word flem

I like it, it's got presence. Without a nickname though.

Not a fan. It makes me think of aggressive and dour middle aged Russian women (Pelagiya) and medical terms or medical conditions. If a doctor said "That 'weird rash' you have is Pelagia, take this topical cream" you wouldn't question it.

Don't like it at all

It reminds of the time I went backpacking through Europe and I stayed at two places in Greece named Agia Pelagia. It reminds me of good times and sunshine, but I can't see it on a child at all. The nicknames are good though!

A rare example of a name that's worse than Ocean. I do like Peggy, though not in this context.

I think it's gorgeous, dramatic, and saintly. And thalassic!

My first thought is Captain Corelli’s Mandolin the 1994 book by Louis De Bernieres (there should be a grave above the first E but can’t add it on my phone) and the 2001 film of the same name. Pelegia is the name of the lead female character.

Peggy would work in the uk and Gia might as I don’t think it’s a huge stretch.

It was the name of a distant relative, pronounced pe-LAG-ya. Peggy and Gia would be unusable in Poland. In English, Peggy could work, but I don't see how Gia would unless it was pronounced pe-la-jee-a. Either way, if I had a goose, that's what I'd name it.
