That's rather the problem... I couldn't think of any. All the women I think of as Divas have names beginning with other letters...Originally posted by cloughie View Post
...except (let's try mercia's suggestion of running a few names up the flagpole and seeing if Cloughie salutes):
Kathleen Battle
Angela Giorghiu (or however she spells it)
?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Arlène Auger
Barbara Bonney...
But i don't think of either as a diva. Just as damn good sopranos

fair enough. this could take some time. these may not be divas or even singers but they are female forenames beginning with A or B.
Angela, Beryl, Anita, Barbara, Alicia, Alice, Beatrice, Anne, Ann, Aristide, Abigail, Astrid, ........

Aristide is a bloke's name isn't it?
Quite enjoying the concept of Beryl de los Angeles
