What do you think of this name for a baby girl? Names also on my list are Milencia and Astoria. They're all quite unique names and all end in an "ia" sound which I love. If anyone has any similar suggestions please let me know.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Azaria
Lydia
Thalia
Valencia
and doesn’t end in ‘is’ but I think Valentina is a pretty name - maybe Valentinia?

Squirma · 07/08/2022 21:10

If you love Victoria, how about Vittoria. It’s Italian and maybe closer to what your boyfriend may like

Cecilia?

Prejudice against names that don’t fit the perceived norm speaks way more about the employers than it does about the applicants (or their parents).
And? They're the one's in the driving seat 🤦‍♀️ They won't care what little Millencia's mummy thinks.
Then again, something tells me no offspring of op will get within an ass's roar of investment banking.

@StillHappy I'd like to know what exactly is "underclass" about any of the names?

Milencia remains my favourite and I'll probably just go with that. Again, thanks everyone for your feedback.

Have a read of this. Your child is already likely to have the odds stacked against them, please don’t make it worse for no better reason than your own ego.

I'd also be careful of anything to do with body parts -
Tibia
Labia

I know a French Flavia - Flavie for short

No, I'm someone who works to get people from non-standard backgounds into investment banking, and who despairs at the harm done to some children's prospects by a selfish mother (and it's always the mother) who decided on a ludicrous name

Prejudice against names that don’t fit the perceived norm speaks way more about the employers than it does about the applicants (or their parents).

Yes, it does. But although I can’t influence the recruitment at a hundred thousand professional firms I can still hope a selfish woman decides against damaging her poor child’s prospects.

Alicia seems too obvious at this point

Same with Emilia, which I think is very pretty.

I think Gaia is lovely, someone suggested that earlier. Gaia was the Earth Goddess in Greek mythology and the only Gaia I've heard of IRL is Emma Thompson's daughter.
Can't say I like any of OP's original suggestions at all, sorry OP

Some people on this thread are taking this incredibly personally. I never see this kind of outrage when people suggest the name Ffion, and that means arsehole in French.

Ffion is a Welsh girls name and not at all unusual here in wales. Less commonly it's a male name derived from Irish and Scottish Gaelic, a modern form of the Old Irish name Finn.

OldTinHat · 07/08/2022 19:49

No, no, no. As a person who is terrified of spiders, I have actually struggled to even read this post. I only opened it because it was under baby names.

Do not do it!! Just no.

@StillHappy talking of unsuitable names, is your username ironic? You’re clearly dealing with a lot of anger.

LuluBlakey1 · 07/08/2022 19:30

What about Odeonia or Millepedia or Wikipedia?

LuluBlakey1 · 07/08/2022 19:29

All 3 are awful- laughably awful.

VeryQuaintIrene · 07/08/2022 19:24

Another thread suggested Rosacea, which is a very pretty name IMO.

😂

All of them awful and try hard.

Terancia sounds like a monster from stranger things.
Astoria sounds like a hotel.
Milencia sounds like an ancient insect that will be in the next Jurassic park.

Please, please don't

This is exactly what I was going to say.

Astoria = a very famous hotel. You can’t call your child that.

Terencia and Melencia sound like an illness, sorry OP I want to be positive but I really don’t think your child would thank you.

Keep reading name dictionaries something better will take your fancy.

Belephant · 07/08/2022 19:19

@SpringAspen if you like Cordelia, I think the most obvious nickname is Delia (which I think is gorgeous!). Or I guess you could go for Cora too?

@StillHappy ah, “the underclass”. I’m getting a strong impression that you were the schoolyard bully you’re worrying about.

No, I'm someone who works to get people from non-standard backgounds into investment banking, and who despairs at the harm done to some children's prospects by a selfish mother (and it's always the mother) who decided on a ludicrous name.

Now why don't you pop back to the other thread and try to continue teaching a native Frenchwoman what French words mean?
