Nina or Zoe

[namechange5575]

Hi all. We have one daughter already, called Sasha. I had been thinking of calling this one born today (squishy goodness!) Nina, but I'm a bit concerned that Sasha and Nina are too samey, especially as my name in Anna. Sounds a bit like three Russian sisters (we aren't Russian at all).

I also like names with an oh-ee sound, probably because my sister is called Sophie, and Zoe has kind of jumped into the ring as a contender. It's more popular than I'd like, but seems to be decreasing in popularity and Nina is rising. Collective mumsnet wisdom please!

I like both. Chose the one you like better. Congratulations!

Congrats, I like Zoe

Nina! It's so cute. Zoe sounds dull to me. Congratulations :)

Like both but prefer Nina.

Zoe is much nicer, IMO!

Zoe

Nina

Pretty evenly split. We've gone with... Nina!

I still like them both fairly equally but had to make a choice. To the poster who mentioned it might sound like a siren - that's actually one of the things I like about the name, Neenor as a nickname

Love Nina. Not keen on zoe because of Zoe ball.

Congratulations and great choice. Just remembered Nina nanar from the 10 o'clock news

Zoe

Nina. Personally not a fan of Zoe.

Good choice, I am a Nina and love my name Congratulations!

Nina is what I'd have gone for.

Congratulations!

I have a Nina who's 3 and absolutely love it, and get lots of admiration for it, she's also the only little Nina I've met so far so I'm happy with that.
Her older sisters call her Neenie and just so you know I've never had her compared to an ambulance sound!!
