Pippa, Joni, Leah or Natasha?

[HarderToKidnap]

DH loves Leah and Natasha. I quite like them but love Pippa and/or Joni.

Our surname is Friedmann.

Thanks so much for any opinions or other suggestions!

Leah.

How do you pronounce leah (lee? or lay-A?)?
natasha friedmann is the best sounding, and will allow a lot of nicknames if she doesn't like it.

Lay-a, but prepared for the rest of the world to pronounce it Lee-ah!

Leah is nice then but I think I still prefer natasha with friedmann.

Pippa by far....it's an AMAZING name..

Love Natasha. Like Pippa too.

I would say Phillipa with nm Pippa. Then as she gets older she can choose to be the full name or not.

Love Pippa, like Natasha.
Dont use Leah if you are not going to say it Lee-ah
Spell it differently if you want a different way of saying it as EVERYONE will call her Lee-ah otherwise!

Technically though, it is actually pronounced Lay-a. I do see your point but I don't want to call my daughter Leia!

I like Joni

I don't like Joni,nor do I like Natasha or Leah. Looks like you have to call her Phillipa and use Pippa as a NN.

I like Pippa and Joni.

Natasha and Leah are gorgeous names. Pippa and Joni, thoug cute, are a little bit twee, especially for a grown woman. IMHO

Pippa.

Love that name & if i ever have another girl i'll be calling her Pippa.

I'd go with Natasha, classic! x

I like Leia Friedmann; it's pretty. I'd spell it like that, though - Leah is Lee-ah to me.

All nice names but Pippa is my favourite. It would have been on my shortlist but it sounds ridiculous with our surname.

Leah, Natasha (or Natalia) and Joni are fab. Pippa is nice for a child up to age 10 but Philippa is nicer from then on.

Overall, I like Natasha/ Natalia and Joni best.

Natasha and pippa are both lovely. They go nicely with surname too.

Not keen on joni or Leah sorry.

I don't like Leah. A bit 80's.
I don't like Pippa. Too pony club.

Surely Leah is pronounced Lee-ah I've never heard it pronounced otherwise. Joni is nice unusual but maybe too unusual. Not keen on Pippa or Philipa and think Natasha is a bit dated.

Pippa (Philippa) definitely (dd2 is 4 months old, so bit biased).

Don't like Joni much, but prob because too close to my own name ( which I REALLY dislike)
Natasha is ok, but I agree sounds dated
Really not a fan of Leah (either pronunciation), there are a lot of them around though.

Pippa - like as nickname for Philippa
Joni - not keen
Leah - like if pronounced Lee-ah, but not Laya.
Natasha - like :)
