I'm not pregnant but i like names :) My favourite girls name is Claudia but I'm going off the "claw" sound. What other girls names end in dia as that's the part of it I like?

Chlamydia...wait, no, that doesn't sound right....Grin

I've said this before on here but I am Lydia and never once have I been called anything related to chlamydia.

Luckily enough nobody was ever brainy enough to suss that Grin

However, if your name were Aidan and your classmates realised your name backwards was Nadia, you might be in for some stick.

crazyhamsterbackonthego · 28/11/2013 23:34

I can safely say after 25 years of thorough testing that nobody can come up with a piss take version or take the mick out of the name Nadia

completely outs self

Clodagh? Similar to Claudia

Cordelia is lovely. Cordy is a lovely NN.

Cora

Coralie

Elvira

Hmm...none of those end in -dia. Sorry!

Dia is 'day' in Greek and Spanish.
Nadia is 'nobody' in Spanish. They wouldn't work very well for us (in Spain)!

Love Claudia and Cordelia.
Natalia - sorry if it's been mentioned upthread.

I never knew that MathAnxiety, that's lovely.

lizzi07 · 26/11/2013 02:50

how about Samia or Cressida, or Eliza and Olivia

cheekbyjowl · 26/11/2013 02:36

elodia

mathanxiety · 26/11/2013 02:36

Dia means God in Irish...

Dumpylump · 26/11/2013 00:25

Claudia was the first name that came into my head, I think it's lovely. I really like Cordelia too.
I'm not at all sure about Dia.....imagine kids adding rhea to the end of it!

I knew a Candida. She teased me when I was about 11 for not knowing what thrush was. Only later did I realise she probably knew because she was named after the fungus that causes it.

However, if you can get over that, I think it's quite a nice name... not quite -dia, but there we go.

ClaraBarton · 26/11/2013 00:12

Love Claudia - claw wouldn't occur to me. V.classy.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 25/11/2013 20:03

I adore the name Nadia.

I think I'm more in love with the way claudia looks written down, than with the way it sounds. The clowdia pronunciation could be a way around it.

Some good suggestions here :-) would it be a bad idea to have a baby so I can use one? !
