Adina.

Anya reminds me of the perfume from the body shop "Ananya" which our biology teacher wore on a field trip for a week and nearly made me sick it was so strong. So, irrelevant to you but might make you laugh!!!

I know a girl called Edana which is similar, I like them.

Anya, Adina reminds me of Ab Fab and the woman from Rev who liked the vicar. I have an Anya in my family who is lovely.

Anya. Adina reminds me of Ab Fab too.

Anya. As a poster above said, Adina reminds me of Ab Fab. And she'll constantly have to tell people it's Adina with an "A" not an "E", or over emphasise the A at the beginning

Anya definitely :)

Adina. Emphasis on the Ah so Ah dina rather than ab fab EH dina. Totally different names.

It's much more unusual than Anya. It sounds like a mispronunciation of Tanya.

Ab Fab did not cross my mind once in the weeks I've been considering Adina.
As Lokis said it's pronounced Ah -dina.

Anya is a lovely name.

Both lovely! However, I would pronounce Adina with a short 'a' sound, not 'Ah'. It might be annoying to have to keep correcting people. So I would choose Anya!

Adina is a bit different, haven't heard of it before but it sounds both strong & pretty.

Love Anya, not so keen on Adina. I have a friend called Amna which is also beautiful

Adina sounds like Edina pronounced wrong.

Anya.
Agree with others about the ab fab connection. She will get 'a dina' rather than 'ah dina' at least on first meeting because people won't realise how it should be pronounced.
