What's your favourite...?

[typsical]

Sophia
Thea
Maeve
Niamh

A small list produced by DH :)

Thea...I'm Irish though so there are lots of Maeve's and Niamh's about, Sophia is very pretty but a little too popular. I think Thea is beautiful

Maeve for me, I'm also Irish.

Niamh for me.

Just out of interest how are you pronouncing Thea? Th-e-ah or Tay-ah?

Niamh for me

Maeve, too many babies called Sophia atm.

I love Thea, it's gorgeous. I would pronounce Thee-ah.

I know a few Theas and it's pronounced THAY-ah/uh. It's a strong TH sound in the beginning like in monTH, not like THey. :)

Sophia is popular but very pretty.

Sophia, then Niamh.

Sophia is too common imo, Maeve I don't like the sound of, Niamh is ok but my preference is for Thea. I love Theodora, nickname Thea.

Thank you all.
Yes, we'd pronounce it Thee-ah. I really like the meaning as well lockets, and it's nice to hear that your DD likes her name!
Not really too bothered about the popularity of Sophia (DS is Oliver!) ....although suppose I do like the idea of something a little more unusual for our next one! (not pg yet btw, just like to be hopeful and prepared!)
DH has just added Evelyn to the list (pronounced Ev-uh-lyn, but with Eve -not Evie- has a nn)....? Any thoughts on that one? (Making the most of DH's naming co-operation!!)

I love the name Thea but my DH family is from Yorkshire and this is how they say over "there" "Thea", so i had to rule it out

Evelyn is on our list too

Oh shame about Thea LBB. How would you pronounce Evelyn out of interest?

I prefer Sophia

Love Maeve . Thea too.Bored with Sophia and Niamh but both nice names. Not so keen on Evelyn but it's not terrible.

Maeve

Maeve or Thea. Both are gorgeous. Not Sofia, please. There are sooooo many out there.

Maeve and Thea are much more unusual and work for a little girl and an adult.

Oooh just saw your son is Oliver. That is one of my favourite boy's names. Pity it is so popular but I just love it. It's on my list should I have DS2.
