[Nixx101]

Hi. Im due on the 7th Feb with a girl and had a name picked out, but ive now found another i love and me and my dh cant pick between them? Plz help, what do u think.... its between TIA and ASHA. Which do u prefer and Do u think either of them are a bit chavvy? Thanks ladies. x

[babycarrier]

hi, i do like tia but asha is nice too i prob would go for asha actually cos are a few tia's out there i like to be different

[goingfor3]

If you really like them both then wait until the baby is born and see which suits her best.

[LOVEMYMUM]

I like Asha cos if you call her Tia, she might be nick-named Tia-Maria (sorry).

[sweetkitty]

Whilst I love Tia I agree with the Tia Maria thing unfortunately. So Asha would be better.

Or how about Talia (DD2's name different but I love it so biased we have had so many comments about it how lovely it is) it's only another 2 letters from Tia as well

[Nixx101]

Thanks ladies, never had this problem with my ds!

[LoveAngel]

Both lovely. Wait until you see her - Tia and Asha are very different names, and she will undoubtedly suit one more than the other.

[nailpolish]

they are both chavy

sorry

[Nixx101]

I had thought about the tia maria thing and it was the 1st thing my mil said, when i mentioned it to her. Talias lovely, infact u may have added another name to the list... oh no...

[good2goss]

I agree with 'goingfor3'. I think both names are lovely and my personal fav is Tia because we know a beautiful little girl with the same name. If you've managed to get down to two final names I would wait until she is born and then pick the name that suits. Hope all goes well.

[sweetkitty]

Go for Talia then, it's an old Greek/Hebrew name (depending on which website you visit) and means Dew from Heaven, definitely not chavvy.

[CountessDracula]

Surely Talia is spelt Thalia?

[bundle]

what about natasha?
thalia is nice

[bundle]

exactly

[CountessDracula]

Yes I agree
Natasha and you can shorten to Asha if you want

As nicknames go Tia-Maria not THAT bad though!

[flowerybeanbag]

Don't decide til you meet her. We narrowed our list of 10 down to a shortlist of 2, DS looked nothing like either of them so we had to revert to our longer list to find his right name.

[paulayatesbiggestfan]

know a few tias but no tia-maria nick names!

[nailpolish]

it deosnt matter what name you choose children wiill find a nickname from it

[Nixx101]

The problem we have with Asha is, we love the name Asha, but its bound to get shortened to Ash, whilst there is nothing wrong Ash, its just not really girly. DH is worried that both names are chavvy?

[paulayatesbiggestfan]

the only Asha i know is indian,45 and gorgeous

Tia I am less keen on

[PurlyQueen]

I like them both - why not wait until the baby is born to see which one suits her best? You have 42 days after the birth to register the name, so there's no rush.

[sweetkitty]

CD - Talia can be Talia, Thalia or Tahlia, in the US Talia is the most common spelling, we opted for Talia as we probaly would have nended up with h's in all sorts of places. Still doens' stop my Dad calling her Tal-Ya 2 years on though.

[scaryhairycat]

Love both names - particually Asha. We're calling ours Nayasha though, (a Zimbabwean name) - so I'm biased!

[Bessie123]

I like Talia but Tia and Asha sound a bit chavvy to me

[MrsBadger]

like Hatrick I have only met male Ashers (one, incidentally, with a sister called Talia)

re Tia and Asha, personally I prefer more, well, classic names, as (I suspect) does your DH.

Talia certainly possibly
Lydia?
Leah?
Leila?
