We have managed to short list the below but would like to know your thoughts please or other suggestions. We have a 4 syllable surname so have been looking at shorter names. DH is Irish and favours Orla from the list below. Let me know what you think:

Orla
Iona
Eva
Claudia
Diana
Ines
Maria
Rosa

I love Iona.

Claudia and Rosa joint second.

Orla always changes itself to oral when I type it and that's what it makes me think of! Sorry op.

Fantastic list. I'd say Orla (once your accent lends itself to the name) or Claudia.

What about Aoife as an alternative to Eva? I love that name but sadly we're not Irish enough to pull it off.

I like Rosa from your list as well

Ines and Claudia are my favourites (Ines is one of my all time favourites) but I think I like Diana as a middle name too.

Orla sounds a bit strange when said by English people. I love Claudia from your list.
