Amara and Thalia are very pretty

Hazelbrowneyes · 11/11/2013 11:37

Thalia x

I would go with Nia or Thalia. Poppy is cute on a little girl but not really a sensible name for a grown-up, and not sure about Amara.

HyvaPaiva · 11/11/2013 11:39

Nia is beautiful and I like that it means 'radiance' or 'brightness'. Also because the actress Nia Vardalos is fab Grin

Poppy.

Tiredoutmum · 11/11/2013 12:09

Is Thalia a bit posh-horsey-girl do you think? My hubby's thoughts not mine! ;-)

Husband is impressed with what he calls the geek pedigree of your chosen names (apologies if they're not all geek names, apparently it's a massive coincidence if they're not from anime/comics!)

I think my favourite is Nia :)

HollyBen · 11/11/2013 12:19

All lovely names IMO but Nia or Amara get my vote. I do like Poppy but DD has a teddy called that. Don't particularly like Thalia- bit horsey and how to I spell/pronounce. Saying that my DD has a name which is both difficult to spell and pronounce so ignore me Grin Grin

laravh · 11/11/2013 14:54

Love these names, how about Amalia?

Tiredoutmum · 11/11/2013 14:58

We already have a daughter called Amelie - otherwise I love it! :-)

not sure about Amara - I think amaro means bitter in Italian. . also it's very close to amelie

overmydeadbody · 11/11/2013 15:12

Thalia sounds studious and academic to me, rather than posh and horsey.

I like Thalia the best.

HenriettaPie · 11/11/2013 15:34

Poppy is my favourite

scarletforya · 11/11/2013 15:36

Nia

hettienne · 11/11/2013 16:01

I think Amelie and Amara would be a bit too much.

MrsBungleScare · 11/11/2013 16:10

Thalia.

MoonHare · 11/11/2013 16:13

Thalia definitely.

Nia is OK but in the north east it would be pronounced exactly the same as the word near. Makes me think "Near, far, wherever you are....."

Poppy is too frivolous for my taste.

Have never heard of Amara before, it does sound a bit made up.

cupcakeicing · 11/11/2013 16:14

Today it has to be Poppy.

Aquariusgirl86 · 11/11/2013 16:18

Poppy, but then I'm biased as that's what I chose!

Beakford · 11/11/2013 16:19

Nia sounds the most... intelligent and strong to me. x

FetaCheeny · 11/11/2013 20:42

Poppy! not keen on the others especially Thalia.
Prefer Mia to Nia, really like Amelie though.

MummyBeerest · 11/11/2013 21:18

Nia

hawkmcqueen · 11/11/2013 21:20

Poppy for me then Thalia, both on my list! I don't think Poppy is frivolous, I think it is a great symbol of Remembrance with dark undertones (with the whole opium connection) so it's 'sweet but deep'. Thalia is the Greek muse of comedy and so much more frivolous! There's my penny's worth.

Tiredoutmum · 11/11/2013 21:26

I'm going to need to start a spreadsheet of votes!! Very interesting opinions :-)
