Girls name shortlist...

[Chocolateyescakeyes]

Indigo
Piper
Novah
Nevah
Caia.
Which do you prefer and why?

Nova with no 'H' at the end. It's a bit unusual. Bit retro, almost.

Then Indigo. Good shortening potential to 'Indie'. But maybe consider India? Blue if there's a colour theme going.

Not fussed about the others and not keen an adding extra consonants to be unique.

Nova, spelt this way.

I don't like any of the others although Indigo is passable I suppose.

I'm afraid the only one I like is Nova but spelled properly (ie without the -h).

Not keen on any of them to be honest but Indigo is quite unusual. Indie would be a cute nickname. Caia would be better spelt Kaia. Piper is ok but I don’t find it very feminine. Novah and Nevah are very trendy spellings. What about Niamh/Neve instead?

Thank you for the replys. I didn't realise the 'h's were the 'trendier' spellings, so yeah I can see why you wouldn't like those. I do like Niamh/Neve but have a new addition to the family with that name and so it would cause too much confusion.

Another vote for Neva

Indigo.

Nova.

Piper or Neva.

How do you feel about Tova? It's Hebrew and means "good". Has a similar vibe to some of the names on your list.

Nova, Neva & Kaia (those spellings) are OK. I'm not keen on the other two.

Indigo, but prefer India. Like both because of nn Indie.

Indigo. I like India too.

Vita?

Indigo and Nova

Indigo- it's different but pretty.

Are these even names?

Not another Vauxhall Nova.

Don't like any tbh.

Indigo and Piper mostly because I prefer the sound/look of them to the others but partly because the others would be difficult for others to know how to spell/pronounce imo

Piper.

is Neva pronounced Nee-va or Never?

I only don't dislike Indigo (but prefer India)

I prefer Indigo out of your list and I do actually like it, though it's not the sort of name I would go for myself. It's miles better than India, which has horrid connotations of the British Raj and colonialism. I don't like the others. I've not heard of Novah, Nevah or Caia before. Novah makes me think of Nova, the car. Nevah might be better as Niamh, or it sounds a bit like Never. Caia is OK, but might cause pronunciation problems. I don't like surnames or jobs as a name, so I wouldn't be keen on Piper.

Indigo or Piper. If I'm honest I don't like the rest of the names on the list.
Indigo is good and Indie is a cool nickname.

Piper is quite a cool name, not too popular or too out-there.

Nova is nice without the h on the end.

Really dislike piper. It's so unfeminine and just reminds me of a person who plays the bagpipes.

I like indigo.

Never heard of nevah (pronounced neev-ah?) or caia?

I don't like any of them to be honest. Nevah?? Is that even a name? Please don't call them that. The poor child would be the subject of endless micky taking. Indigo sounds so try hard and not really a name. Sorry I don't mean to be harsh but I want to be honest. If I had to choose one it would be Caia.

I prefer Indigo because I like the nn Indie. It makes me think of the colour though.
