Greta

[Clownfish123]

Is Greta a nice name? Would it seem odd on a child with no European links?
I just think it has such a cool, vintage vibe and I like Ettie for a nickname. I also am liking Ada at the moment, which is perhaps a bit more in keeping with current trends.

I like Etta too but think I prefer Greta. It could be shortened to Etta if she preferred that though which gives options.

I know a little Greta! No “European” links, beyond the fact she’s British...😂. Scottish surname, sound good together.

I don’t think Greta needs Margaret as a BC name at all, and I’m bemused why you’d “Shorten” it to

It’s a lovely name, I much prefer it to Ada!

Greta is a truly beautiful name. There is a small but though.... to me it is a very delicate woman with exquisite porcelain bones. So I wouldn’t have risked it on mine Incase she was lumpen!

I love Greta. I would go for it.

Merename Greh-uh you mean?

Clapham 😂 wondered when someone would pick me up on Britain being in Europe. I know I know, i just didn't know how else to put it. Certain names just sound very 'un-British' and I didn't want her constantly being met with surprise... 'oh, interesting, what's your background?' Etc. But I can see it's not an issue with Greta from this thread. I like the fact it works internationally.
In terms of delicate and porcelain, hmm I am small and petite but my DH is 6'4, so who knows!
She is likely to have light blonde ringlets if DS is anything to to by, if that sways anyone!

I like it a lot.
I have a little cousin Greta in Italy, she's 6 or 7. Margherita is a family name with the younger generations having variations of it (I might use Margot myself)

I don't know any siblings where 1st and 2nd child have the same colouring/hair type (although obviously in some racial backgrounds there will perhaps be a little less variety and more subtle differences than in the general gene soup of the uk/europe). Identical twins excepted! :o
