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.

I love Anya and Luca

I think Anya is a gorgeous name.

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

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?

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

Like Anya, but not India.

Anya is lovely. Would prefer Áine

Bum, pressed post...

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

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'.

There are potatoes called Nicola, Charlotte as well.

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

Ooh yes, and (king) Edward.

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

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

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.

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

Courgetta :)

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

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

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

I like Anya

it's not often pointydog likes a name!

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

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

Apologies for exaggerating slightly.

The category of name I like is - nice names .
