Girls names we are mulling over

[PickledSprout]

Anja
Petra
Pia
Etta

Etta is my fave of those.

Etta - not a name I've heard but is absolutely beautiful. Very pretty but very strong. Congratulations.

Etta from me too. (It's sometimes shortened from Henrietta)

Etta, gorgeous. Next Pia.

Etta

petra

Thanks for the replies. DH and I could only agree on one name for DD1 so was starting to panic that the next child would be nameless but we suddenly seen to have a short list which is a surprise and a relief!

Anja, are you pronouncing it an-ya?

If so definately anja

Anja (if pronounced Anya) for me too. Gorgeous name

Yes pronounced like that. I think there is a variation in spelling depending on country. I think!

If Anja pronounced Anya, love it.

Not so keen on Pia unless you are religious or living abroad as here she will be teased that she is Pee-er. Quite like Petra, though sounds like the blue peter sheep dog of years gone by. prefer Peta or Petrova.

Etta nice as shortened form of Henrietta.

Pia, I knew a lovely Danish lady called Pia. Beautiful name.

I like them all except for Petra.

Maybe Anja or Etta best?

Lovely names! Congratulations!

I like Anja and Petra.

Not keen on Etta.

Don't like pia at all. Sorry.

I really like Anja and Etta

Petra is okay. Not keen on Pia

I really like Anya.

Others ok.

I like, in order from most to least:
Petra
Anja
Etta

Pia

Etta
I know only one; Etta Joy. Think it's lovely!

I like Anja too .

I like Etta and Anja, though prefer the 'Ania' spelling.

Etta is lovely

I LOVE Petra, gorgeous name. It was the name of DD's best friend at crèche, but we moved and they haven't been able to get in touch since, but she was a lovely girl.

Love Anja, my lo is Alanya!

Etta is lovely, but it makes me think of ETA. And also maybe it wouldn't be suitable for a fat child, where I'm from the past tense of 'eat' is pronounced 'ett', as in "she etta pie".

Etta or Anya
