Anya? Love it or hate it?

[magicmelons]

I think I like it but am hormonal bag and can't be trusted with these things, I think I like Anya Grace.

I really like India, Annabelle and Arabella but they're all becoming a little bit too popular or so i'm told we don't know any.

Not sure of sex so will be back with boys names.

[MoominsAreScary]

I love Anya and Luca

[TheyCallMeKipper]

I think Anya is a gorgeous name.

[minicorrect]

DD was going to be Indigo Anja until she arrived and didn't look like an Indie at all. Suffice to say I love India too. Afraid the other two conjure up images of precocious little madams though. Sorry

[Bubbaluv]

Anya is lovely. Unusual without trying to hard to be cool (India) or posh (Arabella). Annabelle is also lovely. I don't know why but I feel like Clara would also sit well among the names you've choosen.
I like Luca much more than Roman (midday tv). What about Leo instead of Theo?

[TheRealMBJ]

Anya is a pretty name. I personally don't like it as I knew an Anya who was really spoilt and shallow.

[Willabywallaby]

Like Anya, but not India.

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Anya is lovely. Would prefer Áine

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Bum, pressed post...

Would prefer Áine but with what you said about your surname I understand why you wouldn't want to go there :)

[LemonDifficult]

No need to raise an eyebrow at me. Sainsburys do a TTD potato called Anya Potatoes. That's what I think of, and others will too.

I think the others in your list are a bit 'trying too hard'.

[belgo]

There are potatoes called Nicola, Charlotte as well.

[LemonDifficult]

And Desiree. OP, you could consider that if you wanted to go veg-based.

[Lancelottie]

Ooh yes, and (king) Edward.

[TheMonster]

I love the name Anya. I'm not keen on your other choices.

[cantgounderitcantgooverit]

I like Anya, and don't like the other girls names you listed. Like Eeyore!

[magicmelons]

Oh right, just I said I was Irish you said Potato, not Anya sounds like a potato, it's getting a bit tiresome now, i'm sure you can understand. However if you didn't mean it in the Keith Lemon sense I shall take my raised eyebrow back . I did think surely nobody could be so childish.

[ShoutyHamster]

I thought she was suggesting Potato as a name for the baby well there is the Apple precedent, no?

I didn't get much sleep last night.

Anya is good - prefer Anna though for some reason. Charlotte, Nicola, Maris and Piper also not bad

[ShoutyHamster]

Courgetta :)

[MoominsAreScary]

Yeah it's the name of a sainsburys potato

That wouldn't put me off though, bet not alot of people even know , I think it's a beautiful name, I'd use it my self but have been told not to for family reasons boooo think I will be going for Ava instead

[survivingsummer]

My dd is Anya and I've lost count of the number of times people have said to me 'do you know, whenever I hear your daughters name it just makes me think of those potatoes from Sainsburys'

We've never even had the references to Buffy - we must surely mix in the wrong circles

[Bandwithering]

that potato must be exclusive to sainsbury's. i've never seen it in ireland!

[pointydog]

I like Anya

[Bandwithering]

it's not often pointydog likes a name!

[pointydog]

ahem, not true. I think I like quite a few names on here. Must just have different taste to you, band

[acsec]

Anya and India are both beautiful (and both on my list!) :o

[Bandwithering]

Apologies for exaggerating slightly.

The category of name I like is - nice names .
