She's nearly here and we think we like this name? DM hates it but I can't see why.

To us it sounds feminine but she reckons it's harsh.

What say you mumsnet?

I'm not a fan. How about nuala?

Fyi it's New Orleans' nickname (New Orleans Louisiana)

Don't know if that'll swing you either way, but there it is!

I think it's horrid - the No start is really grim, reminds me of names like Noreen and Norris - sounds oddly seventies. I would put it alongside something like Rita in terms of 'feel'. Not good.

And nickname - No? Noll? Hmm.

So many more lovelier names out there!!

However I remember there was a thread on this name a short while ago and most people seemed to like it, so look that up if you just want some good vibes :)
