I've changed my name as obviously this thread totally identifies me.

I have three children already called
Nina
Eliza
Hector

Dc4 coming out of the sun roof very soon. Here is our shortlist
Anna - this is our favourite and honours DH's recently deceased nan, but is it too close to Nina?
Violet - the DD's choice
Anya
Esther

I like Violet I think it goes well with the others esp Eliza

Just realised I missed page 2. Congratulations, a bonny name for a bonny little girl.

I've a cousin called Matt, he called his son Nathan and his daughter Patricia and other daughter Katharine. It never occurred to him they would become known as Matt, Nat, Pat and Kat. It causes great hilarity. My point is Nina and Anna doesn't sound like a problem to me.

Yay! I was going to say Anna is my fav! Timeless classic and beautiful
Congrats!

DramaAlpaca · 07/05/2017 10:32

That'll teach me not to rtft Blush

Lovely name and huge congratulations! Flowers

Mysterycat23 · 06/05/2017 18:41

Portia

Don't know why, seems to go nicely with the siblings Grin

Anna isn't too close to Nina I don't think as they start with different letters.

Biscuitsneeded · 06/05/2017 18:38

Lovely name. Well done OP. Flowers

Baby Anna Theodora born today weighing an enormous 10lbs 4oz and already looking three months old. She weighs as much as her two older sisters added together at birthweight! She is gorgeous.

I love Anna, but I think in this case, you having a Nina, I would go for Anya Violet.

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2017 12:24

Anna is fine with Nina. It's gorgeous, classic & international too.

useryourillusion · 06/05/2017 12:24

Violette

Annette

Anais

Annika

Please keep us posted OP!

(love new babies)

LapCatLicker · 06/05/2017 12:20

I think Willa is a really lovely name I am Canadian though so your theory might be correct Smile. I think Nina and Anna are different enough.

My great-grandparents named their 10th and 11th children Norman and Norma. They both turned out fine, although Norman was known as Darbo his entire life...

BearGryllsHasaBigRope · 06/05/2017 12:16

Anna is a beautiful name and not too close to Nina imo

Lottie991 · 06/05/2017 12:14

I love the name Anna

Batteriesallgone · 06/05/2017 12:11

Maybe OP is having her baby now! Squee! Good luck OP Flowers

Sophronia · 06/05/2017 11:46

Anna is lovely and fine with Nina

ChippersAndRunt · 06/05/2017 10:34

Violet would work.

Viola, Elizabeth, Dora, Nora or maybe Annora?
