Girls names dilemma

Hi, I don't know whether I'm having a boy or a girl yet but for some reason I am absolutely convinced I'm having a girl. All I seem to do it search girls names and always refer my bump as she.. anyway, I was wondering which is the favourite on the below names

Ayda Florence
Trudy Florence
Mila Florence

I'm pretty certain on the middle name as we have a 1 syllable surname think it works really well. I really like old school short names if anyone has any other suggestions?! ThanksSmile

Ayda but spelled Ada. Ada Florence would be lovely.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/08/2017 18:55

Ada Florence, as above. 😄

Blossomdeary · 04/08/2017 19:14

Ditch silly spellings!

Notbleedinglikely · 04/08/2017 19:15

I like Florence best.

BertrandRussell · 04/08/2017 19:15

Why Ayda?

igotyoubabe · 04/08/2017 20:14

Not a silly spelling, just the Arabic variation.. and I just prefer this spelling as it is phonetically more accurate.

But that's just daft. Everyone knows how to say Ada but will ask about Ayda......

Chaffinch4 · 04/08/2017 20:25

Would you pronounce Ayda as Eye-da? If not I think Ada is a prettier spelling and would be less prone to misprononciation and having to correct the spelling (if that bothers you).

Ada Florence is beautiful.

Trudy slightly feels like it's short for something...

I've never heard Mila before - mee-la, my-la?

igotyoubabe · 04/08/2017 20:27

You really don't like Ayda do you! Lol. Just personal preference.

igotyoubabe · 04/08/2017 20:29

Mila would be pronounced mee-la and I'm pretty sure Trudy is short for Prudence but I don't like the full name.

Will be reconsidering the ADA spelling now though after the bashing of Ayda! Thanks Smile

I pronounce Ayda as Eye-da. Sonquite different front Ada. I like Ada. If it's old school youblike then spell it Ada.

I also like:
Iris
Ava
Nina
Ruby
Lois

Trudy is short for Gertrude. Prudence is shortened to Prue.

Chaffinch4 · 04/08/2017 21:53

Gertrude and Prudence. Love them both (realise I'll be in a minority!).

SuperBeagle · 04/08/2017 22:04

Ada Florence.

But Ava Florence is even nicer. I find Ada quite harsh.

Don't like Mila, and really don't like Trudy.

ScaramangasThirdNipple · 04/08/2017 22:07

Gertrude and Prudence. Love them both (realise I'll be in a minority!).

Hopefully!

IntegritasAdSalutemVocat · 04/08/2017 22:24

Love the middle name Florence! I like Ada and Mila but Trudy is my dog's name so I won't recommend that lol Grin

ThinkOfTheHorses · 04/08/2017 22:54

I like milk

ThinkOfTheHorses · 04/08/2017 22:54

Mila* Hmm I am sensitive to lactose so certainly do not like milk

marmitecrumpets · 04/08/2017 22:59

Mila Florence

Ohmyfuck · 04/08/2017 23:10

Ayda Florence. I like it! :-)

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/08/2017 08:12

I like Ada alot but not Ayda it butcher's a beautiful name

Mila is ok but not my style

Trudy is lovely actually and with the rise in Ada's recently along with the popularity of similar names such as Eva and Eva I think I'd go with Trudy. Beautiful but unusual
