What do you think about Ria or Karis?

[Cakey0207]

My daughter is 5 weeks old, but still haven't decided on a names for her. My son is called Jay.

When I was pregnant we called her Ruby, but now she's here I've totally gone off the name!

My other half likes Mai, but I think it's far too common.

So I'm really stuck on what to call her... What do you think about Ria or Karis??

They sound like makes of car....well you did ask.

Umm, they're not my cup of tea. Ria sounds a bit like a brand of budget squash or a reference to an upset stomach.

Carys is nice.

Are you going to be using Ria as short for something?

Karis is okay. Don't love or loathe it.

They would be better if you used the proper spelling, tbh.

I have friendS Rhia and Carys, nice good strong Welsh names.

I like Rhiannon and Cerys or Charis better.

Thanks for your honesty.

I'm just finding it sooo hard to find a name for her. It seems that alot of girls names are similar or the other names I like have been used by family or friends...

DD's best friends are Rhea and Carys. I would prefer the more traditional spellings.

I LOVE Carys, spelt the traditional way.

My DD is Carys Faith.

We have had no problems with pronunciation and most people love her name.

I prefer traditional spellings of names and Karis seems a bit americanised iyswim.

Congratulations on your DD and good luck with her name.

Carys is really pretty.

I like Rhea or whatever way you spell it.

Charis is one of the Graces of Greek mythology - also the name of a beautiful, kind-hearted but irredeemably dim-witted charater in a georgette Heyer novel.

They're both okay. I like the traditional spellings better.

They sound like new models of Toyotas to me, sorry.

Carys very pretty though

Jay and Mai rhyming? Bit silly.
Trad spellings vote here too.
Have you thought about Mariah?

Just come from another thread - how about Thea? or Clea?

I like Carys.

How about Lara or Talia?

DD is Carys Angharad, I prefer that spelling myself.

Nice names if proper spelling used - or to vary Thea or Cerys?

Thanks for all your input.

Seeing the traditional spellings of Rhea & Carys I also perfer now.

Mariah reminds me of Mariah Carey and I'm not much of a fan.

Not keen on Thea, Clea, Lara or Talia.

I like Carys/Charis, not so keen on Rhea.

I liked your Ria sp more than Rhea cos that sp reminds me more of Rear as in rearend (sorry..) but Ria is v pretty
do like sp Carys more though, even though Karis is okay too

Rhea always reminds me of that dippy mum in Butterflies (showing my age......).

Not keen.
