Final list but not sure about any of them..

[SquidgyMcPidgy]

Please could I have your comments on the baby girl names below? As with our last DC, we are struggling to make a decision and I don't want this to drag on and on... we have an unusual surname too which doesn't help! In no particular order:

Clara (DH not keen)
Thea (DH not keen, I'm unsure of correct pronunciation but love it anyway)
Leonora (feel like it's too unusual and will get misspelt)
Adriana (love it but does it sound a bit harsh or maybe even pretentious?)
Mia (feels a bit weak)
Erin (love this but DS is Ryan so don't know if they sound too similar)
Ava (maybe too popular)
Ella (maybe too popular)

Leonora is lovely

Adriana is a name in my (Dutch) dh's family, they use the nn Ria which is nice. I do think it sounds a bit harsh.
Leonora - I love this and know an adult with this name at it works really well. My only hesitation is that it does sound very like Lenor fabric conditioner.
Looking at your list, how about Thalia?
Ava and Ella are REALLY popular.

Leonora is my favourite

Love Adriana!

Knew a Leonora. Lovely lass.

Like Adriana. Don't think it's harsh at all.

Erin would be fine if you love it. It syncs with Ryan.

Is Mia not popular any more? There are 3 in my DD dance class! Its a lovely name which is why I chose it!

Know an Erin its a lovely name. Leonora will get shortened to Leo

Adriana is gorgeous.

Leonora. Not too unusual at all and a straightforward spelling.

Ella Ava and Mia are too overused.

Adriana or have u thought about Ariana?

I love Clara and Thea, but obvs if DH not keen you have to listen to him too!).
Not keen on Leonora or Adriana.
Love Erin. I think Ryan and Erin sounds fine.
Mia, Ava and Ellie are all v popular around here.

Love Erin. It sounds fine with Ryan.

I like Adriana, Leonora and Erin. I don't think Erin is too similar to Ryan. Adriana defo not harsh. Leonora isn't too hard to spell - you might get Leanor but that's all, and easy to correct as she'll just say "No, le-O-nor-A".

Erin sounds GREAT with Ryan! Gets my vote...

I like Erin, Leonora, Clara, Mia, Ella and Ava in that order. All beautiful names.

Ohh thanks everyone, very positive comments. Sounds like Leonora, Adriana and Erin are leading at the moment. I like Ariana too but it's a brand of beer where I come from so I can't use it..

We have chosen Thea - what about the pronunciation are you unsure of? I don't know if I'm missing something with it now we pronounce 'Thee-ah'

Lifechangesforever, unsure whether people might pronounce it Th-ay-ah instead of Thee-ah?

We are naming our girl Leonora!
Apart from that my fave off your list is Erin.

I do like Ava but it is in the top three names for a few years so there would probably be many Avas in any class she attended which would put me off. Ella may be the same.

Just to add another pronunciation in the mix, dh is dutch and so I would be really tempted to say T -ay -ah for Thea, which is the dutch way, and I think is really pretty!

Love Erin. I've got my heart set on this DC2 is a girl.

I also like Thea but I understand your worry about pronunciation. I'd worry it'd be pronounced Fear.

Love Clara, Thea and Leonora. Clara and Leonie (similar!) were high up on my list... but I went with Sabrina in the end as dh preferred it!

Leonora is wonderful

Erin and Ryan sound ridiculously samey together I'm afraid.

The first four names are all really nice, OP. I probably like Leonora the best as well.

The last four are all fine I guess but a bit bland and nothing-y compared with the first four choices. Except Erin actually, which for a short name, packs a bit more interest in.

Leonora.

Def not Adriana.
