I find India really awful. Reminds me of Katie Hopkins maybe that's why.

RainaBaina · 03/08/2017 13:35

Do you think people in India call their children England?

Unless you have a connection with the country, I do find it a bit odd. I don't think I'd like to be called India.

Love INDIA x

Theanniepaige · 03/08/2017 12:35

They're all beautiful- I love Aria the most!

A famous celebrity has just named her daughter India so I think that name will become more popular in the next year

I like the nickname Ari but not sure how it should be pronounced.

CharleyAnn as for a middle name we were planning to go with Elizabeth as it is my, my mums and my grandmothers middle name. Although I love one syllable middle names and any suggestions would be appreciated!! X

That should have said ah-ree or even arry?

CharleyAnn · 03/08/2017 10:05

Susiethetortortoiseshellcat I think we would pronounce it Ah- ri- ah as I think that is how it's pronounced using the Aria spelling x

Yes, Aria and Arya are pronounced differently.

Arya = people will think of Game of Thrones
Aria = people will think of Pretty Little Liars

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 03/08/2017 09:18

How would you pronounce it then? The GoT character Arya is produced more like Eye-a whereas I would think Aria was pronounced Ah-ri-a as in the Pretty Little Liars character.

Both pretty though.

Like Annabel don't like the rest

After persuasion from dh and the fact that I got to choose our 3 year old DS 's name, I think we're gonna go with Aria. ( ps RiverTam yes I do know that's how they spell it but I think the spelling Aria is much prettier) just looking on some advice on what nicknames could be as it has 3 syllables so would probably use one. Thanks !!

I like Olivia the best of your list. Despite its apparent popularity, the youngest Olivia I know is 16 Confused. She gets called Liv and Livvy, which I think are adorable shortenings.

Epipgab · 01/08/2017 21:54

I like Annabel and Olivia best of your list.

Julia
Amber
Coralie
Louisa
Zara
Imogen
Seren
Holly
Cassia
Pearl
Sophia
Aurora

Love Annabel nn Annie

RiverTam · 01/08/2017 21:04

If your DH is a GoT fan then he must know it's Arya, not Aria? Aria is a part of an opera.

I like Eva best. Annabel is very 1980s Sloane ranger.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/08/2017 21:01

Arielle.

ConstanceCraving · 01/08/2017 20:58

Aria is wishy washy.

Icewindfire98 · 01/08/2017 20:46

Ariannah
Alannah?

Annabel my fav from your list but if I'd had a girl she would have been
Gertie or Connie.
