Nope.

They will date horribly.

Orla is my favourite and is the most interesting and most timeless of the list.

Where I grew up there was a clothes shop called Arana...I always thought would make a nice girls name

DramaAlpaca · 31/03/2020 23:30

I love Orla. Orla Rose is very pretty.

Aria is nice too, but it will date unfortunately.

Mila is my least favourite.

I actually think they are all nice names so I wouldn't worry about judgement. If pushed Aria would be my least favourite.

Thankyou for the responses so far, I was leaning towards orla (orla rose) as I think it’s the most unique ☺️ Although I’m trying to avoid anything too weird as being only 18 I feel like I’ll have enough judgment already x

Orla is nice but quite popular. Aria I like.

Mila could easily be mispronounced. Is it Mee-la or M-eye-la? I know both depending on ethnic background. That would rule it out for me personally.

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/03/2020 23:21

2nd fav is Mila

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/03/2020 23:20

Love all. favourite is Aria

LotusClover · 31/03/2020 23:20

Aria is my favourite by far - it's simple, elegant and pretty.

The other two are meh.

MadamBatty · 31/03/2020 23:18

where do you live? i know dozens of Orla’s.

Ciwirocks · 31/03/2020 23:14

Orla

NuffSaidSam · 31/03/2020 23:13

I like Mila best.

Aria is a bit too.....princessy sounding?

Orla I just don't like the sound of.

123Dancewithme · 31/03/2020 23:13

Orla

AnneJeanne · 31/03/2020 23:12

Mila because I like M names, it has an international sound/background, and it’s pretty.

OhioOhioOhio · 31/03/2020 23:12

Sorry I'm not keen on any.
