Mina, Essie or Ama?

[ElizabethForever]

Possibly Jessmina? Which is your favourite? Surname is polish. Thank you x

AMA

My phone put it into capitals. I also like Essie, but i just think nail varnish. I don't like Mina.

My phone keeps putting it in capitals too which makes me think it’s too much like an acronym.

Love Mina.
Don't like the others.

I like Mina, but the other two feel unfinished.

Is Mina pronounced 'Meena' or 'Miner'?
Essie is pretty
Ama is also nice but a little like initials and also autocorrected to AMA.

My friend is polish and her daughters are Magda and Abigail

I like Essie, is it short for something?

I have a Mina, love the name. Not so keen on Ama and I know Essie as a boys name.

Is Ama pronounced like Amma? Or Ayma?

I have an Essy (same name, different spelling) but she is an Esmerelda. Wouldn't have it as a stand-alone name, personally

Amma and Meena

LOVE Amma @ElizabethForever, it's unique but not unusual if that makes sense

I know a gorgeous little Mina and I love it!
I prefer the spelling Amma to Ama because of the whole autocorrect thing. Saves any confusion.

Essie is lovely but only ones l know it's short for Esther. I would give her the full name and then shorten it. So she has choices later.

I love Mina, or Minna for the Finnish spelling.

All these names sound like a Biff and Kipper teach your child to read book. Awful.

AMA

How do pronounce Ama? What about Amara? I love that. Don’t like Mina, too near to meany meany Mina. Essie seems made up!

Essie only if she has a proper name on the birth certificate. Maybe Esther.

Ama = ask me anything

Mina- slang for ladies bits.

They all sound too nicknamey to me though I quite like Mina- there’s a fab one in Dracula the novel. Wilhelmina with Mina for short?

PersonaNonGarter - Biff, Chip & Kipper! I loved those books 😂

Mina- slang for ladies bits.

Do you mean Gina (as in Gine - a)

I've never heard of Mina used as slag in this way.

Gah typo I meant slang

God dammit mumsnet get an edit button to spare my blushes.

Isn't Essie a nail varnish brand?

Essie, will likely be our girls name. I love it!
(Don’t wear nail varnish so would have no idea if there’s a connection their!) 😂
