What do you think of Anya for a girl?

Also on my current list are

Evelyn
Magda
Zoe
Mary

Thoughts welcome on them too! Thanks.

I love it. I like Mary and Zoe from your list too.

exactly what PT said

Thanks! Do you think "Anya Mary" works?

Anya Mary sounds really nice.

Like Anya and Mary - both on my long list if we ever have a DD but DH isn't so keen. DOn't really like the others so much.

Think Anya Mary works well

I love Anya and Mary

not keen on the others

Thanks for your help!

Do you think Anya sounds odd along side Jack (DS) and Henry (fave name for any future son)?

Do you think Jack and Henry would sit better alongside a more traditional girl's name?

Ta!

i think anya zoe sounds nice
and anya goes well with jack and henry, dont worry too much about future namess just yet

i think anya works just fine with jack and any henry that arrives later!

I love the name Anya!

I like it too, it is unusual without being odd or too 'try hard'

I think it is pretty, but cannot help but think of potato - foody background

Lovely. I love Anya and ZOe

I always think of potato when I see piper

anya is lovely
mary too
but dont like it together
it goes with henry and jack wouldnt worry about that
idont think potato

Love Anya and Zoe

Anya is pretty. I think Anya Eve is nice.

Evelyn - lovely
Magda - hideous but i love Margot so what do i know....
Zoe - lovely
Mary - lovely

I agree with boodleboot about Magda, sounds like a Bond bad girl to me.
Love Evelyn and Anya and Mary
How about Mary Anya as a sort of double or hyphen then you can create a nn as time goes on?

Thanks for your help all!

I raised Anya with a pal today and her immediate reaction was "as in Anya-ism?" ie aneurysm... I am gutted to say this kind of put me off!!

I love Anya. It is so pretty
