DC1 is 5 days old and we can't quite decide between Orla, Iona (pronounced the Welsh way Yona), Nia (pronounced Knee-ah). Any suggestions for middle names that go with any of these 3

Beth or Kate could work well with all of them

Name the poor pet!

Orla Maeve is lovely in my view.

Really hope you have called your LO Orla, it's just perfection.

I have a niece called Nia her middle name is Lucy which I think is beautfiul. (she is Welsh)

Shame she wasn't born in September as Iona (or Nia) Medi would have been lovely.

Iona/Nia Elin
Iona/Nia Elen
Iona/Nia Gwawr (is the 'Dawn' bit of your name significant?)

ludog · 09/10/2009 12:16

Orla Jane

That sounds like Near Elizabeth ina new zealand accetn.

DD was almost Nia but DH felt it was too close to his dad's name (Neil). Nia Elisabeth works well.

Orla is absolutely heavenly.

i would have Orla Ruby

congrats on your little miss...

All lovely names!

Why don't you choose a family name for a middle name?

Congratulations by the way!
