I met a little girl the other day. And her name was Gaia. I just thought it was so cute and unusual. What do you think? It's another word for Earth.

The woman that I met called Heaven was a DJ and music artist.

So her name is probably really cool in that area , and helped her stand put.

I really dislike it. To me it's akin to calling your child Eden or Heaven or a name of that ilk. It's just very aggrandising or something.

I've met an Eden and a Heaven too!.

I liked Eden. It really suited her.

In my opinion , I thought Heaven seemed a bit much on the woman that I met

Not my taste and I usually like unusual names!

I never know how it's pronounced.

Guy-ah or Gay-ah or something else?

I would pronounce it

Guy - ah

I love it. Was on our list for DD. ☺️

Lovely! ☺️

It's pretty. Marred slightly by Maya being so popular.

Emma Thompson and Greg Wise's daughter is called Gaia.

Love it, love it. It was on our shortlist, and I often wish we’d used it. Would love to meet a Gaia, I bet she’d be wonderful!

Love the meaning, don't really like the sound.

Wheresthekitten · 24/11/2024 16:06
