A few examples: Maia Gaia - means Mother Earth I think? Ambika

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Eve - means mother of nations. I think.

What if she hates kids or is infertile?
It's a bit of pressure to procreate

Terra: means earth but from roman goddess/mother earth

Also, doesn't Tia mean 'auntie'?

We once heard of a woman who had been given the name 'Baby' (obviously when she was a baby). It's a perfect Ronseal name for a newborn, but not really the most enduring throughout their entire life....

Yeh, but nobody will put her in the corner.

@Brown76 I love the meanings behind some of the Yoruba names. My friend’s husband is Babatunde for his grandfather, who died suddenly just before he was born. Also Adetokunbo for a child who was born overseas.

Gaya (Gaea) = mother Earth

Mary (and variations - like Miriam).
I am not a religious person at all yet that was the first that popped into my head

Yewande or Yetunde or any similar names in Yoruba mean “mother has returned” as in the mother/grandmother is represented in the child

Yes, Tia is Aunty in Portuguese (and maybe also Spanish, not sure).
