Baby names

Which of these two names do you prefer for a girl?

Baby is due in February. Going to wait until baby is here to officially decide which name if its a girl (a boy's name is 99% set) but just wondering if there was a clear favourite as I swing back and forth daily between the two girls names we like. Both sound great with the surname.

Which do you prefer?
Ffion or Nia

I love Nia. I wanted to call my daughter it but my husband wasn't having any of it.

Nia is lovely. I don't think I ever met a Nia the whole time I worked on a postnatal ward.

I love them both, especially Ffion, but I have known many people to get so confused over the name outside of Wales. Nia may be easier to travel with when she's older

Both lovely but on balance I would go with Nia.

Wow, Nia already seems to be a clear favourite. My one concern with it is that people would confuse it with Mia...?

Ffion gets my vote.

Nia seems pretty popular now so don't think it should get confused with Mia. You will get a lot of confusion about whether it's nee-a or nye-a though

I like ffion but few people outside wales know how to say it (George w bush thought William hagues wife was called "Evian" apparentlu

I would say Feon tuning with he on. Is that right spot?

I prefer Nia but I do think you'd have a lifetime of telling people it's N for November...

Ffion.

Really don't like Nia - just don't like how it looks or sounds.

Vote for Ffion here! Nia could be confused with Mia - I also think it's more of a sound than a name Blush but ignore me!
