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!

Surely Natasha is a proper name?

Excuse me... Pippa is my name and I love it (and it's proper [bgrin])

leah

Natasha (in Russia, anyway) was a diminutive of Natalia (Russian 'short' names are often longer than the name they are short for, ime!).

But Natasha has been seen as a 'proper' name for years.

shockers Pippa is a great name

I love Natasha and it sounds gorgeous with
Friedmann!

Leahs awful, Hate it!

pippas sweet!
Joni - erm...... yeah its ok

Thank you Raahh, I love your name too... I often utter it when I'm over excited [bgrin]

Love Leah. Classic.

Joni is very sweet and due a comeback.

Natasha and Pippa aren't my cuppa.

Love Pippa, but would have Phillipa as a full name.

Hate Leah (have always heard it pronounced Lee-a)- think leer. If you like the Lay-a pronounciation, what about Layla, which is pretty and would avoid confusion.

Joni - too much like Joan

Natasha - agree its dated and a bit corny. In the same league as Tiffany etc i.e. a bit 80s porn-star and hard to pull off if you're not pretty.

So Pippa by a mile for me!

Joni Friedman has a lovely 60s folk vibe to it - Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez...

I think it sounds American but cool.

Pippa or Leah.

natasha definitely, really lovely name
