I think Amalia is lovely

hohohoshedittant · 09/01/2012 00:12

Love Anna. Not keen on the others.

Anna.

Amalia sounds like a mental health problem.
Anna timeless, cool, sweet, strong

bemybebe · 09/01/2012 00:07

Anna fan here
Would have used it for my bump but one of dsd is one

Anna is fabulously elegant.

Amalia sounds like a made-up celeb name to me, tbh. Ditto Amaya.

Sandra and Wendy are not my cup of tea at all, sorry. They both sound dated and unattractive to my ear.

What do you guys think of Amaya?

Anna is a beautiful, classic name. I'm surprised it's not more popular - same goes for Rachel and Julia.

Amalia sounds silly and made up. While I have a colleague named Wendy, it smack's of 60/70's. Anna is the only (to me) viable option, but that's still a bit blah.

DigOfTheStump · 08/01/2012 23:33

Anna

magicwoodyallenzombiejesus · 08/01/2012 23:33

Sorry agree with plonker dislike them all except Anna

humblehippo · 08/01/2012 23:28

Anna

ElaineReese · 08/01/2012 23:28

Unless you're birthing a 47 year old woman, obviously Anna.

JestersHat · 08/01/2012 23:26

Amalia - would get confused with Amelia
Anna - nice if a little dull
Wendy - a bit frumpy
Sandy - OK, perhaps as nickname for Alexandra

ReneeVivien · 08/01/2012 22:56

Anna is my favourite.
Then Amalia.

I don't like Wendy or Sandy.

mustdash · 08/01/2012 22:55

I met an Amalia last year, she was gorgeous. Her parents called her Mali for short which was very cute too. She was the first one I'd met, so not at all common either.

Anna is nice too, but not so keen on the others personally. Not that I know anything about these things.....

tammytoby · 08/01/2012 22:54

Sandra is really pretty and underused these days.

Plonker · 08/01/2012 22:54

I only like Anna from your list.
