Marks out of 10 for these 5 girls names please!

[pinktimesone]

Really like 'ia' ending names for DD as I think they sound feminine. Can you put a comment next to each, I don't want anything too popular, including any potential nicknames, but as it's my first, I don't know what is. I know different names sounds better depending on where you live, I'm in SW London. Thanks!

Sophia
Olivia
Alicia
Natalia
Claudia

[RubySlippers]

they are all lovely names

Claudia is on my girls list

[MrsMattie]

Sophia, Olivia, Alicia - 5/10 - pretty names, but way too popular for my personal liking

Claudia - 3/10 - not keen

Natalia - 5/10 - meh

[Gobbledigook]

Sophia - 1
Olivia - 8
Alicia - 1
Natalia - 1
Claudia - 8

That's how much I like them, not how popular they are.

I only know an Olivia out of all of those.

[ForeverOptimistic]

You specifically said that you don't want anything too popular so I would forget Olivia if I were you. It was the most popular girls name in 2006 and there are 5 Olivia's in ds's nursery class. I have come across countless at various groups we go to, we have 2 in our street and both dh and I have an Olivia in our immediate families. It is a very nice name though!

[OrmIrian]

Claudia - 7ish.

Don't much like the others. Too many 'ia' endings.

[lilibet]

How are you pronouncing Alicia?

I went to school with one and she was always
Alice - ia

But now I keep hearing it pronounced Al - ee - sha.

[lilibet]

Oh, and if you want an 'ia' ending that is lovely but not too common, have you thought of Julia?

[MorticiaAnnSpookington]

Sophia 9/10
Olivia 5/10
Alicia 6/10 if pronounced Alissia
Natalia 2/10
Claudia 8/10 as I now love Claudia Winkleman

They are all pretty names.

Unfortunately the meaning of Claudia has always put me off that one... (derived from Latin claudus meaning "lame, crippled").

And Olivia and Sophia are perhaps becoming a little popular for my liking, so of your list I would choose Alicia.

[Troutpout]

They are all nice
But Claudia stands out as far nicest imo
Have come across children with all the names apart from Claudia too.

[seeker]

Like them all except Natalia. Be careful with Alicia - it's a lovely name, but the pronounciation seems to be slipping twards Aleesha - which I think (sorry) is horrid!

[berolina]

Sophia and Natalia - 9. ds1 would have been Sophia had he been a girl. Natalia especially lovely if she is due around Christmas time.

Olivia, Alicia and Claudia - 7. Olivia is very popular. The sudden apparent popularity of Claudia confounds me - over here in Germany it's still seen as a very 60s/70s name.

[BlackEyedDog]

out of these Claudia is my favorite 9/10

otherwise I love and prefer to the ia's

Sophie
Olive
Alice
Natalie

[Overmydeadbody]

Sophia 10
Olivia 9
Alicia 2
Natalia 4
Claudia 8

[Wavedancer]

I'm in SW London too.

Sophia - 9/10 - love this name, it would have been our first choice if we were having a girl
Olivia - 6/10 - pretty name but very popular, I believe
Alicia / Natalia - 3/10 - don't know why, but these 2 sound a bit 'snobby' to me
Claudia - 2/10 - just don't like this one, sorry

[scarletlilybug]

Maybe it depends where you live, but Olivia and Claudia are pretty popular in my rae atm.

If you call her Alicia, you might well find she's always being called "Aleesha" (not the ee-a sound on the end in what I mean).

Prefer Sophia of the last two although Natalia is ok.

Another vote here for Julia.
Or Georgia (although I guess that's another popular one at the moment)?
Or Victoria?

[LouMacca]

Love:
Sophia 9
Olivia 9

Like:
Alicia 7

Dislike:
Natalia 2
Claudia 2

[pinktimesone]

Thanks so much the replies! Of the new name suggestions, I'm not keen on one of them and the other two are friends names so wouldn't use.

I think Alicia is out because of the so many ways that it can be pronounced.

More comments please, it's very helpful!
