BFF baby name dilemma

[RivieraKid]

Hello!

My bestie is having a girl, due in Feb, and is completely torn between Magda and Greta, like, absolutely cannot decide. I thought I'd ask the MN crew because I think she's going to go with a majority opinion and you guys know about baby names like no one else!

So, which one do you like best?

Greta, I think its prettier both spoken & written :)

Greta

Magda sounds quite harsh to my ear.

Out of both Id say magda.

Very different names Iv never heard mind but magda id go for xx

Magda

Margaret and then she could call her Magda or Greta? I know Magda really comes from Magdalena but you could stretch it a bit :)

Madga.

I did try and suggest Margaret but she thinks it's too old-fashioned for her, as is Magdalena. It's Magda or Greta as full names, not nicknames, if you know what I mean.

The thing is, I'm useless her because I love both of them! They both sound mysterious and fairytale-like to me, the kind of girls you might meet in a forest carrying suspiciously red apples!

I like both, but I think I slightly prefer Greta.

I love Magda, and the nickname potential is better.

Greta

Greta, beautiful!

Is greta gree-ter or grett-er? Eeeee or eh!

Magda seems 'unfinished' but I like Magdalena.

Greta, but same question as PP

Greta was the name of the smallest girl in The Sound of Music (I think), so I would go for that :)

I think it's Grett-er (in a British accent), possibly Gree-ter in the US (?)

It's Grett-ah in my "British" accent.

The smallest girl in the sound of music was Gretel.

Greta - lovely, underused name

Greta as in 'eh' yes :)

Greta. Such a cute name!

I like Magda but as a nickname for Magdalena.

So I would say Greta. I know a teenage Greta and it suits her really well.
