Final four girls names, help us choose!

[Hilochickalo]

We're expecting DD in spring and having trouble deciding on a final name. Wanted to try and avoid anything that's in the top 20-30 as my name is quite common!

Which do you prefer?

• Erin
• Martha
• Maya (although not sure if the pronunciation will be an issue, I'm thinking to rhyme with fire/liar)
• Nola

[Caramel81]

I love Erin the best. Such a lovely name

[strawberriesunited]

Love Nola
About maya, would you consider Mya so people don't get it wrong?

[Marshmon]

Erin

[PawPawNoodle]

Erin

[lbrc84]

Not too keen on Erin, Maya reminds me of a polish/ Bulgarian kind of name and Nola makes me think of the Nolan sisters. Martha is quite a pretty name though. That would be my choice

[Minty82]

Martha. Was our runner-up name for DD, and then DC2 was a boy. Still love it.

Erin feels slightly random unless you have strong links to Ireland? I do quite like it though.

Maya/Maia both fine for the pronunciation you want.

[OverTheRainbow88]

Martha 🥰

[DarcyJack]

Martha unless Irish then Erin is also good

[SorbusAucuparia]

Martha is lovely.

[Hailtomyteeth]

Wrote a porn about Nola, so I wouldn't use that, but others might.
Don't like Erin.
Maya is naff, over-used, try-hard.
Martha. Hmm. Martha Mary? I'm watching 'Once upon a time' with dgd and I'm a bit keen on the name Mary Margaret.

[Redtartanshoes]

Martha.

[IsadoraQuagmire]

Martha

[Tal45]

Martha (or Maia if not spelt with the y)

[SendARavenToRiverRun]

Erin. I don't think you'd need Irish links for it.

[StealthRoast]

Erin for me.
I had it when I was pg in 2002/2003 and had a boy. It’s very underused.

Maya sounds harsh to me, Nola sounds made up and Martha sounds really old fashioned.

[HideTanner]

I don't like Erin. I'd go for Maya or Martha. Probably Maya though as Martha is a bit smug.

Nola reminds me of New Orleans. And now I want to go there and have the wildest holiday possible. Sigh.

[KatyClaire]

I looooove Martha. So sweet, traditional, underused, pretty. It’s on my list if I ever have a daughter.

[Changeythenamey]

I like them all! Martha and Erin most. I would probably think Maya was pronounced May-ah rather than My-a (which I would spell Mya). When I see Nola I think New Orleans which isn’t a bad association (I love New Orleans!) so I probably wouldn’t have it as a first name.

[THATbasicSNOWFLAKE]

Erin or Nola

[JemimaTiggywinkle]

I seem to be in the minority but I love Nola, with Martha as second favourite.
