Thea

ThursdayLast · 06/12/2013 21:46

Thea.
If I could pronounce my 'th's properly any future DD of mine would be Althea

TheSatsumaConsumer · 06/12/2013 21:47

Thea (I am biased though!)

LittleRedDinosaur · 06/12/2013 21:47

All lovely! Thea is my favourite

Yama · 06/12/2013 21:50

Hard one as I love, love, love Anya and Thea.

Ava is nice too but not a patch on Anya and Thea.

Anya is prettier than the others (IMO)

TobyLerone · 06/12/2013 23:01

Anya.

I think Thea is ugly and every second girl seems to be called Ava currently.

justhayley · 06/12/2013 23:53

Anya

BettyBi0 · 07/12/2013 07:36

Anya

comedaygoday · 07/12/2013 07:37

Thea. Ava is v. v. widely used.

Misfitless · 07/12/2013 07:40

Ava is very popular at the moment. I'm the only one so far who isn't keen on Thea, and they'll always be someone who can't say it - I know two teachers and quite a few adults with lisps, not to mention several children.

cheesypastaplease · 07/12/2013 07:41

Ava.

I am biased though as I have a lovely 5 year old one, and we are yet to meet another Ava!

WhosLookingAfterCourtney · 07/12/2013 07:43

I love Anya.

Thea sounds like fear to me!

Ava is everywhere at the moment.

TwerkingNineToFive · 07/12/2013 07:51

I have an Ava and we haven't met another one either. Lots of Eves and Evie's though.

Slothlorien · 07/12/2013 08:22

Anya! Is gorgeous.
Thea sounds too much like 'fear'
And Ava is too popular at the mo.
IMO

manicinsomniac · 07/12/2013 10:12

Tricky. I love them all.

Order of preference would probably be Anya, Thea, Ava but they are all beautiful.

southerngirl25599 · 07/12/2013 10:17

I love the name Anya. Ava is to popular atm and don't like Thea

ToffeeJungle · 07/12/2013 11:02

All lovely!

In order of preference:
Anya
Thea
Ava

Theonlyoneiknow · 07/12/2013 11:12

They are all great, I prefer Thea and Anya I think. Also love Aria

Tikkamasala · 07/12/2013 12:50

Ava is nicest but popularity maybe a concern, so I would probably go for Thea which I think is a close second and also very lovely

Definitely Thea Grin

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 07/12/2013 17:05

Thea. Would have used it if there hadn't been an awkward rhyming issue.

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 07/12/2013 17:06

I like the others as well, mind you. But Ava is very very very very popular at the moment.
