Adina.

Anya

Adina.

Anya reminds me of the perfume from the body shop "Ananya" which our biology teacher wore on a field trip for a week and nearly made me sick it was so strong. So, irrelevant to you but might make you laugh!!!

I know a girl called Edana which is similar, I like them.

Anya.

Anya, Adina reminds me of Ab Fab and the woman from Rev who liked the vicar. I have an Anya in my family who is lovely.

0pti0na1 · 18/08/2016 22:40

Anya. Adina reminds me of Ab Fab too.

mathsy · 18/08/2016 22:42

Anya. As a poster above said, Adina reminds me of Ab Fab. And she'll constantly have to tell people it's Adina with an "A" not an "E", or over emphasise the A at the beginning

LeonoraFlorence · 18/08/2016 22:46

Anya definitely :)

LokisUnderpants · 18/08/2016 22:49

Adina. Emphasis on the Ah so Ah dina rather than ab fab EH dina. Totally different names.

It's much more unusual than Anya. It sounds like a mispronunciation of Tanya.

StormyTeaCup · 18/08/2016 22:50

Anya

MrsGsnow18 · 18/08/2016 22:58

Anya.

Ab Fab did not cross my mind once in the weeks I've been considering Adina.
As Lokis said it's pronounced Ah -dina.

Anya is a lovely name.

MamaLazarou · 19/08/2016 15:58

Both lovely! However, I would pronounce Adina with a short 'a' sound, not 'Ah'. It might be annoying to have to keep correcting people. So I would choose Anya!

Adina is a bit different, haven't heard of it before but it sounds both strong & pretty.

Lilacpink40 · 19/08/2016 19:28

Anya

MadameJosephine · 19/08/2016 19:34

Love Anya, not so keen on Adina. I have a friend called Amna which is also beautiful

NapQueen · 19/08/2016 19:35

Anya.

Adina sounds like Edina pronounced wrong.

MoonHare · 19/08/2016 19:36

Anya.
Agree with others about the ab fab connection. She will get 'a dina' rather than 'ah dina' at least on first meeting because people won't realise how it should be pronounced.
