Girls Name help please- honest opinions

[coco2901]

Hi All,

I'm now 6months pg and no closer to picking a girls name than I was 4 months ago. Could I have opinions on the below please:

Freya
Niamh
Cora
Nina
Orla

Or suggestions of similar names, we love Olivia but it's just too popular.

Thank you!

Can I add Imogen to that list too please?

I like Cora best

I love Niamh and like Freya.

Cora.

Niamh is lovely is slightly overdone.

Freya and cora are both v pretty

All very pretty - it's unusual I like someone's whole list. I'd say that Freya and Niamh are quite popular, which may or may not be a consideration.

Love Cora and Orla (Orla's on our shortlist, well mine at least) and Nina is pretty.

Good choices!

Cora or Nina. Both if these are fabulous!

All nice names. Do you have an Irish connection?

Cora and Nina are probably my favourites, closely followed by Freya and Imogen.

Orla and Niamh probably my least preferred, just less pretty sounds to my ears. But they are still nice.

Are you Irish - as Niamh and Orla are Irish names aren't they. Agree Niamh bit overdone. Me too love Olivia but is the most popular girl's name at the moment. Does Isla or Erin appeal?

We aren't, we're Scottish but Irish roots and an Irish surname. NanaNina, OH doesn't like Isla and SIL is called Erin.

Thanks for the comments :)

We have a Niamh and she is bonkers!!! Bear that in mind

Haha! Thanks, I will bear that in mind ;)

They are all lovely names.

Freya - beautiful
Niamh - nice but bit meh and boring in my opinion as theres probably 90 of these where I live.
Cora - dont love Cora but think its silly association i.e. I know 4 and they arent the nicest of people.
Nina - beautiful
Orla - beautiful, lovely associations for me as its my wee cousin's name and shes fab, that said, there are loads too...
Imogen - beautiful.

Going by your name list, do you like Clodagh? think it sounds like it suits and is a gorgeous name.

I love the way Clodagh sounds, but not how it looks iyswim?

I think you are all right about Niamh, it is a bit popular

Freya is my favourite, but it is a brand of underwear!!

vicbic, thats what my mum says- it just makes her think of bras

You know what seems to me to go with your list

Nia or Nyah

Not imogen, it's a very cold name

Cora is a lovely warm name. Or Coral or Corinne

Nightstar- OH will be pleased you said that, its his least favourite of the list. I'm not sure about Nia/Nyah, never heard of it before, i'll keep it in mind and see if I get used to it, thanks :)

Lovely names all of them. I particularly like Nina (makes me think of the wonderful Nina Simone) and Niamh - I love the associated with the name Niamh.

The only one I wouldn't go for is Freya. DP was really keen on Freya, but if we'd had a girl I would have been against it as it's just too popular these days IMO. (Had a boy in the end so didn't have to have that conversation!)

We are Irish and have a Niamh who is bonkers too! What about Cara meaning friend? Or Aoife? (Pronounced eefa)

I liked Aoife and loved Caoimhe but OH vetoed both :(

Siobhan, Muireann, Aileen, Bridin, Lasairfhiona (Ok, maybe not the last one)

Freya

How about Faye or Cara

I have a Nyah, and to be honest it seems to be a marmite name. People either love it or hate it, there is no middle ground! :o

And incase you were wondering you pronounce it N-eye-ah (if that makes sense!)

I personally love her name, it suits her down the the ground. She is a wee menace, but don;t let that put you off!

I like all of your list of girls names, most of them are very popular where I am from, with the exception of Nina and Cora.
