Really like 'ia' ending names for DD as I think they sound feminine. Can you put a comment next to each, I don't want anything too popular, including any potential nicknames, but as it's my first, I don't know what is. I know different names sounds better depending on where you live, I'm in SW London. Thanks!

Sophia
Olivia
Alicia
Natalia
Claudia

They are all nice
But Claudia stands out as far nicest imo
Have come across children with all the names apart from Claudia too.

They are all pretty names.

Unfortunately the meaning of Claudia has always put me off that one... (derived from Latin claudus meaning "lame, crippled").

And Olivia and Sophia are perhaps becoming a little popular for my liking, so of your list I would choose Alicia.

Oh, and if you want an 'ia' ending that is lovely but not too common, have you thought of Julia?

lilibet · 10/10/2008 10:32

How are you pronouncing Alicia?

I went to school with one and she was always
Alice - ia

But now I keep hearing it pronounced Al - ee - sha.

OrmIrian · 10/10/2008 10:31

Claudia - 7ish.

Don't much like the others. Too many 'ia' endings.

You specifically said that you don't want anything too popular so I would forget Olivia if I were you. It was the most popular girls name in 2006 and there are 5 Olivia's in ds's nursery class. I have come across countless at various groups we go to, we have 2 in our street and both dh and I have an Olivia in our immediate families. It is a very nice name though!

Sophia - 1
Olivia - 8
Alicia - 1
Natalia - 1
Claudia - 8

That's how much I like them, not how popular they are.

I only know an Olivia out of all of those.

MrsMattie · 10/10/2008 10:29

Sophia, Olivia, Alicia - 5/10 - pretty names, but way too popular for my personal liking
