Baby is due in February. Going to wait until baby is here to officially decide which name if its a girl (a boy's name is 99% set) but just wondering if there was a clear favourite as I swing back and forth daily between the two girls names we like. Both sound great with the surname.

Which do you prefer?
Ffion or Nia

skyyequake · 28/10/2016 14:19

Personally I prefer Nia it's very pretty!

Chinlo · 28/10/2016 14:20

I've got a ffion so I am biased I think it's beautiful

AndNowItsSeven · 28/10/2016 14:20

Nia by miles.

Leviticus · 28/10/2016 14:21

Auto bloody correct.

Nia

Sorry for swearing on a baby name thread.

I love Nia. I wanted to call my daughter it but my husband wasn't having any of it.

Nia is lovely. I don't think I ever met a Nia the whole time I worked on a postnatal ward.

RedLemonade · 28/10/2016 14:37

Nia. Beautiful. I have a FiadhSmile

weegiemum · 28/10/2016 14:39

Ffion, sounds lovely

Tryanythingonce16 · 28/10/2016 14:41

Nia

GinAndOnIt · 28/10/2016 14:42

I love them both, especially Ffion, but I have known many people to get so confused over the name outside of Wales. Nia may be easier to travel with when she's older

Honeybee79 · 28/10/2016 14:51

Both lovely but on balance I would go with Nia.

MalbecAndLindt · 28/10/2016 14:56

Wow, Nia already seems to be a clear favourite. My one concern with it is that people would confuse it with Mia...?

Nia.

stonygreysoil · 28/10/2016 14:59

Ffion gets my vote.

SpotTheDuck · 28/10/2016 15:20

Nia seems pretty popular now so don't think it should get confused with Mia. You will get a lot of confusion about whether it's nee-a or nye-a though

I like ffion but few people outside wales know how to say it (George w bush thought William hagues wife was called "Evian" apparentlu

AndNowItsSeven · 28/10/2016 16:04

I would say Feon tuning with he on. Is that right spot?

AndNowItsSeven · 28/10/2016 16:04

Ahh rhyming not turning!

GinAndOnIt · 28/10/2016 16:10

Yes And - FEE-on

TaggieRR · 28/10/2016 16:51

I like Nia

RiverTam · 28/10/2016 16:52

I prefer Nia but I do think you'd have a lifetime of telling people it's N for November...

SausageSoda · 28/10/2016 16:54

Ffion.

Really don't like Nia - just don't like how it looks or sounds.

Barefootcontessa84 · 28/10/2016 17:09

Vote for Ffion here! Nia could be confused with Mia - I also think it's more of a sound than a name Blush but ignore me!
