Yes.

I actually think her mum regrets her choice.

My own name has a "t" in the middle which is frequently dropped and makes my name sound really awful. My mother regrets calling me it for this reason.

I was just thinking, for Aneira, if potential DD would find it a PITA she could go by Annie as a NN?

does she hate her name for that reason fimbo?

I know a girl of 12 called Aneira, she gets very upset as people either can't say her name or spell it wrongly.

DH has now vetoed Greta as he says it's too harsh sounding

Hi !!

I Like Greta, very pretty. In fact the more I look at it, the more I love it!!

I'm thinking that as you had to put how to pronounce the others may have indicate problems with others pronouncing and spelling the name later in life - ie register at school, every time they are asked their name they'll have to say "Spelt ....."

I'd go with Greta!!

Don't like any of them sorry but Greta is better (!) than the others.

Cassie is nice.
Iona - don't like it personally but at least it looks real.
Amira
Eloise

Greta is the only one that is easily pronounced IMO.

The other names may mean a lifetime of mis-pronounced names by teachers/employers etc.................

And.don't really like Greta either. Sorry.

(Although when you explain the last one Aneira, it does sound pretty)

Love Greta.

Eiliona.

Really don't like Greta, Casia will always be mispronounced (unless you are somewhere the name is usual), Aneira... no, just don't like it.
