I like strong punchy girls' names.

So:

Rosa
Nina
Nancy
Aphra
Frieda
Margaret

I think I like Margaret the best now that you've explained the personal connection! I like the names Nina and Rosa too.

If you'd like some more inspiration, these are some other names I like that are inspired by strong women:

Maya (Angelou)
Emmy (Noesser)
Ada (Lovelace)
Jocelyn (Bell Burnell)
Simone (de Beauvoir, Weil)
Hannah (Arendt)

I'm thankful sirens no longer go neeee-nah. That old UK two tone siren has mainly been replaced with the US wail style siren. kids now in primary schools hear that instead so I doubt it would be an issue for a little Nina.

I just asked my four year to make a siren sound and it was definitely more of a wail sound that he made.

I just did the same with my 2.5yo, who said "nee-naw-nee-naw"! It wouldn't put me off the name, if I liked it though. It's hardly the worst association.

Astrid (Ass- turd), Benedict (bendy dick) and Bella (bellend) are potentially worse, but people still have those names without a problem.

Fwiw Margaret is my favourite. I like Maggie and Peggy as nns.

Nina

Nina or Nancy

Nina or Nancy. Rosa is okay too.

Definitely not Frieda sorry.

Nina

Nina. then Rosa

1. Nancy
2. Rosa
3. Nina

Rosa!

Rosa by far!

I also think Nora/h is an amazing and strong and punchy name, but can't think of a famous one for you to use as a namesake (other than Jones obviously).

Good list! I like Frieda best a we're considering this name too

Frieda

Nina

Nancy

Rosa

Aphra is lovely, and unusual.

Nancy is awesome. I think of The Craft (fave movie of my teens)

Frieda

Rosa and Nancy x

I'd never describe Nina, Nancy or Rosa as strong and puncy! Rather wet to be honest. Frieda is strong and punchy, the only one that I like.

None sorry! I do like Rose instead of Rosa.
Not a criticism op we obviously have very different tastes. I just can't imagine a little baby with any of those names.

Nina would love to meet a girl with this name.

Rosa

Aphra

Rosa

Nina, then Nancy.

But they are all nice. I would go for Nina Margaret to honour your fabulous grandmother.
