Top 4 girls - which one?

89 replies

Sunflower0000 · 18/09/2020 12:12

DD due in a few months. We've managed to reduce our list down to 4 but can't decide on the "one"

Which one would you choose out of these 4?
Athena
Sabrina
Verity
Talitha

DH's picks are the first 2 and I like the last 2. Appreciate they aren't to everyone's taste but we both want something more unusual but not too out there. Thanks!

Verity

I like all of them. Maybe Sabrina or Athena first.

Bonkersblond · 18/09/2020 16:54

Out of them all I prefer Verity, my mum and aunt were both given greek names with the ‘th’ sound, it’s ok when pronounced as ‘th’ but little kids especially until they grasp the ‘th’ sound will pronounce as Afeena or Talifa, as do some adults and as a consequence they both changed their names when older.

Sabrina

Changethetoner · 18/09/2020 16:47

What about Aletheia ? (it's Greek meaning is Truth).

Adore Sabrina!

In order of preference
Sabrina
Verity
Talitha
Athena

FawnDrench · 18/09/2020 14:24

Athena is my favourite, then Verity.

Firebird83 · 18/09/2020 14:23

I love Talitha! Sabrina is great too.

NearToCompletion · 18/09/2020 14:21

Athena. Verity is a really twee name imo, makes me think of someone very prissy and Girl Guides-ish.

MercyBodle · 18/09/2020 14:20
  1. Sabrina
  2. Verity
jessstan2 · 18/09/2020 14:20

Verity. Marvellous name which means 'truth'.

I wish I was called 'Verity'.

Tempjob · 18/09/2020 14:04

Verity is my fave

Athena - reminds me of Athena Swan
Sabrina - the teenage witch
Talitha - not sure how to pronounce...

CheesePleaseLoueese · 18/09/2020 14:02

Verity and Athena

Thneedville · 18/09/2020 14:02

Verity

MochaTime · 18/09/2020 14:00

Athena

dizzyness · 18/09/2020 13:38

Athena Smile

Bubbletrouble43 · 18/09/2020 13:37

I just like Verity. It's a lovely name.

ellenpartridge · 18/09/2020 13:30

Verity

formerbabe · 18/09/2020 13:14

Athena or Sabrina...both lovely

Verity...really dislike

Talitha is quite nice but a bit of a mouthful to say

Doliv63 · 18/09/2020 13:06

Verity

Odile13 · 18/09/2020 13:05

Sabrina is my favourite, followed by Athena.

Helpimfalling · 18/09/2020 13:04

No to talitha

I know a few with that name and it's not the greatest
For me

TeddyDahlia · 18/09/2020 12:59

Definitely like Verity best. Not so keen on the others.

timothytoes · 18/09/2020 12:59

Verity is by far the nicest Smile

AntiHop · 18/09/2020 12:58

I think sabrina is best. Recognisable, easy to pronounce, but unusual.
