Lara, Elin or Niamh?

[daheedsgirl]

10 weeks to go and I'm stuck for names! What do people think of the above. :-) any other suggestions gratefully received. X

P.s middle name is likely to be Frances x

Elin, Lara, Niamh in that order ??

Lara is my favourite but like Elin and Niamh too

Lara is my fave but I think Niamh Frances sounds good

Lara

Elin, Niamh, Lara.

But I would probably choose Ellen, as I think Elin might be spelled as Ellen regardless.

Lara.

Niamh is ok but too popular for me, don't know if popularity bothers you?

Katarina

Lara is my favourite.

I don't normally like Lara (knew a pretty bitchy one at uni) but Lara Frances sounds lovely.

Is Elin a local spelling of Ellen or different? I love Ellen but can see that some folk might think you'd just spelled it wrong. Elaine is similar as well, I love it.

Elin the Welsh and Scandinavian variant of Helen.

Ok, thanks that's interesting. The Scottish/Gaelic equivalent would be Eilidh (ay-Lee).

Niamh is my favourite but I like both Lara and Elin too, all lovely names.

Elin, Niamh, Lara

I am not sure how to pronounce Elin - e.g. "Ellen, "Eeelin" or "Aylin"?

We are in Wales so it's as paddington says, the welsh variant of Helen. I've always pronounced it with emphasis on the i. So E-lin :-)
Thanks for all your replies x

Please don't go for Elin. Too many mispronounced to on issues. Elin becomes Erin, Ellen, Helen...

Lara is lively.

Also love weegie suggestion of Elaine.

How about...

Eleni?
Eleri?
Elora?
Nola?
Noula?

As well as weegiemum's Elaine, there is also the Scottish Alayne.

I know a couple of really nice people with that name.

All (along with Ellen, Eilidh etc) are versions of Helen.

Elin is lovely and if your in wales I can't see why you will have any issues.
