I'm not pregnant but i like names :) My favourite girls name is Claudia but I'm going off the "claw" sound. What other girls names end in dia as that's the part of it I like?

I knew a Candida. She teased me when I was about 11 for not knowing what thrush was. Only later did I realise she probably knew because she was named after the fungus that causes it.

However, if you can get over that, I think it's quite a nice name... not quite -dia, but there we go.

Claudia was the first name that came into my head, I think it's lovely. I really like Cordelia too.
I'm not at all sure about Dia.....imagine kids adding rhea to the end of it!

Dia means God in Irish...

how about Samia or Cressida, or Eliza and Olivia

I never knew that MathAnxiety, that's lovely.

Dia is 'day' in Greek and Spanish.
Nadia is 'nobody' in Spanish. They wouldn't work very well for us (in Spain)!

Love Claudia and Cordelia.
Natalia - sorry if it's been mentioned upthread.

Clodagh? Similar to Claudia

Cordelia is lovely. Cordy is a lovely NN.

Cora

Coralie

Elvira

Hmm...none of those end in -dia. Sorry!

I can safely say after 25 years of thorough testing that nobody can come up with a piss take version or take the mick out of the name Nadia

completely outs self

MsJupiterJones · 29/11/2013 03:15

However, if your name were Aidan and your classmates realised your name backwards was Nadia, you might be in for some stick.

Luckily enough nobody was ever brainy enough to suss that Grin

I've said this before on here but I am Lydia and never once have I been called anything related to chlamydia.

snowqu33n · 29/11/2013 04:19

Chlamydia...wait, no, that doesn't sound right....Grin

snowqu33n · 29/11/2013 04:20
