Dora, Mila, Nina, Kara, Thea or Willa

[WhatTheDickensian]

This is our shortlist. What do people prefer? How would you rank each name?

Dora, Mila, Nina, Kara, Thea, Willa

In order of preference I like
1 Nina
2Kara
3 Willa
4Mila
5Dora
6 Thea. I have an irrational hatered for this name. It makes me think of thawed out food.
Yes I am a very strange person

I like Nina and Thea best.
What about Vita too?

Nina
Mila
Kara
Thea
Dora
Willa

I like Mila and Thea

I love Thea, think it's a beautiful name.

I'd go:
Thea
Willa
Mila
Kara
Nina
Dora

Though I'm really not fond of Dora at all. The others are all pretty.

Nina or Mila for me OP

My favourite is Nina.

Mila is unusual and pretty, and Kara is nice too.

Not keen on the others.

all nice but less keen on Willa

I have a Thea so I'm biased. I love it as it is easy to spell for her and short and sweet. Downside is that people (very) occasino ally pronounce it 'Taya' or 'tia'.
I love all your other choices - we clearly have similar taste!! Kara would be my least fave though as people will think it's after cara delevigne or tointon maybe?!
This is the best bit i think!

I really dislike most of those names tbh.

I'll give each one a rating out of 10, with 10 being love and 0 being hate:

Kara - 3/10
Mila - 2/10
Nina - 1/10
Thea - 1/10
Dora - 0/10
Willa - 0/10

Is Mila pronounced Meela or Milla? I know one the latter, constantly pronounced the former.

1. Thea
2. Nina

1. Dora (the explorer) if you must.

If I did like the name Dora. The Dora the explora connection would not be a deal breaker for me, after all. There are plenty of
Thomas, Edwards, Henrys, Tobys and Emilys. To mention just a few, running around. All Thomas and Friend Characters.
People have not been put off by these names.

Nina or Willa

I only like Cara.

Love Dora

Also like Willa and Cara with a C.

Lara?

Apart from Thea, all horrible

1. Mila or Nina are both gorgeous.

1. Kara, like this.
2. Dora is quite nice, a little bit Victorian doll, or 'the Explorer' though.
3. Thea is OK, but maybe a bit meh.

1. Willa - don't like that at all.

Again, how is Mila pronounced? Meela is pretty, not so much pronounced as Millar.
Willa? Never heard of that but not keen.
Nina is ok.
Dora, everyone will think of Dora the Explorer I think.
Thea is Ok.
Kara, sorry sounds a bit chav? But would prefer Cara as the spelling.
You seem to like names with an ending 'a'. How about Lula? Sounds pretty to me?!

Wills, Thea and Dora are awful in my mind, really horrible names, especially willa. Sorry.

The others are ok, none of them really stand out to me but I guess kara or Nina. Mila would subject her to a lifetime of is it mee-la or my-la?

Other names that sound like you might like are

Luna, Emma, Laura, Cora, Isla, Mia, Priya,

Oh yes, Isla is beautiful.

Like Nina and Mila a lot. Not keen on the others - although I like Cara with a C.

Cara (with a C to avoid Kardashian association as a PP said!) and a Nina.

Would've liked Thea but I knew someone horrible with that name.

Don't like Mila 'cause it reminds me of 'milia', those little zit things.

Mila would be pronounced Meela.

I take the point about Kara being nicer with a C.

We already have an Anna so cannot have Emma although I love Emma.

Another possibility is Stella which I love but DH is not so sure about. He likes Isla but I think it's too popular at the moment.
