I like them all

DD2 was called Hope Sad

and DS1 was going to be called Thea

Naomi my least fav of the three but still like it.

I like Naomi but DH objects because he says he went out with a girl called Naomi once who was very silly.

NormanNorris · 23/09/2010 21:02

Thea!! It's a lovely name. Not bland in the slightest.

I've never met a Thea so it's very unusual IMO.

VinegarTits · 23/09/2010 20:58

Thea is very pretty and my Fav (maggie sounds common sorry)

bellavita · 23/09/2010 20:51

I like all three, but Thea is lovely!

susitwoshoes · 23/09/2010 20:49

Thea, definitely. Naomi's awful, and I always think if you name a child one of those 'virtue' names like Hope, they'll turn out to be the most hopeless person ever.

Couldn't get the image of Thatcher out of my head, or the sucking girl out of the Simpsons with Maggie, tbh.

Lizzylou · 23/09/2010 20:47

Bunny, don't be so rude, we all have different tastes, some of the posters on this thread have a Thea!

Maggie kicks the arse of Thea!! It's a proper feisty character-filled name with tradition behind it (so much so that I can forgive the Thatcher association).

Not insipid and wet like Thea.

LeChatRouge · 23/09/2010 20:41

Naomi is a lovely name! Should be pronounced 'Nay oh me' though, not 'Nigh oh me' like the way some people say it.

I don't agree that it's dated, I actually think it's one of those names that isn't associated to a particular era, I know a few Naomis, from aged 88 down to 2 years old.

Hope is ok, Thea quite nice too.

Thea if forced to choose one.

Naomi just looks like a collection of letters thrown together. Hope is just such a silly name. Thea looks like it should be short for something.

Lizzylou · 23/09/2010 20:35

Thea, was my name for a girl for DS2.

I LOVE it!

Non name my arse!

BunnyLebowski · 23/09/2010 20:34

Naomi but only by default.

Thea is just the most meh non-name I've heard in a long time. There is nothing feminine or memorable about it. Instantly forgettable.

Hope is a no for me because of the virtue/religious connotations.

Naomi imo is a wee bit dated but it is pretty so it would be my choice of the 3.

Rhubarbgarden · 23/09/2010 20:34

Thea! It's my favourite girls name too - I was so disappointed when hubby vetoed it. Quite beautiful.
