Baby girl due on Friday (CS!): please vote on name!

[lenaleave]

1. Alma White
2. Hana White
3. Livia White

Any thoughts???

(White is the surname)

Livia is a 'proper' name - it was the name.of Emperor Augustus' wife so has been around 2000 years or so! Nowhere near as commonly used as Olivia, but a 'proper' name nonetheless!

Alma.

Livia

Livia

Alma for me 😊

Alma, unless you want her to go through life saying "Hana, with one N and no H at the end" or "Livia, like Olivia but without the O".

I like Hana but wouldn't use this spelling as it will so often get mistaken for Hannnah (unless you have a connection to Japan or other country where it's common). Livia is pretty but I would go for Olivia. Alma Im not keen on personally. They are all nice names though so see which suits her

Livia. It's not related to Olivia at all.

Thanks so much for taking time to comment everyone! Our favourite was Alma but we discovered that the only famous Alma White with a Wikpedia entry all to herself was a white supremacist close to the Ku Klux Klan so that pretty much ended that conversation. I (and DH) share the concern with Livia being too close to Olivia and we don't like Olivia at all. And also understand the issue of misspelling of Hana...So we are now considering Amla (which in my language means sweet) but do you think it would be systematically confused with Alma? The other entry today was Estella...What do you all think?

I vote alma still. I dont think you should be put off by that

I like both Estelle and Stella but not keen on Estella

Alma is so unusual I think amla would be fine. Lydia? Estella will always be the unkind and damaged beauty in Great Expectations for me.

Hana

From your latest post, Estella.

Livia.

I love the name Livia

I don't like any of them at all. If you are going to name your child Hanna just spell it the conventional way and save her a lifetime of correcting people.

Lydia?
