Sorry I'm not keen on any.

AnneJeanne · 31/03/2020 23:12

Mila because I like M names, it has an international sound/background, and it’s pretty.

123Dancewithme · 31/03/2020 23:13

Orla

NuffSaidSam · 31/03/2020 23:13

I like Mila best.

Aria is a bit too.....princessy sounding?

Orla I just don't like the sound of.

Ciwirocks · 31/03/2020 23:14

Orla

MadamBatty · 31/03/2020 23:18

where do you live? i know dozens of Orla’s.

LotusClover · 31/03/2020 23:20

Aria is my favourite by far - it's simple, elegant and pretty.

The other two are meh.

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/03/2020 23:20

Love all. favourite is Aria

FluffyEggsontoast · 31/03/2020 23:21

2nd fav is Mila

peajotter · 31/03/2020 23:24

Orla is nice but quite popular. Aria I like.

Mila could easily be mispronounced. Is it Mee-la or M-eye-la? I know both depending on ethnic background. That would rule it out for me personally.

Princess200000 · 31/03/2020 23:24

Thankyou for the responses so far, I was leaning towards orla (orla rose) as I think it’s the most unique ☺️ Although I’m trying to avoid anything too weird as being only 18 I feel like I’ll have enough judgment already x

I actually think they are all nice names so I wouldn't worry about judgement. If pushed Aria would be my least favourite.

DramaAlpaca · 31/03/2020 23:30

I love Orla. Orla Rose is very pretty.

Aria is nice too, but it will date unfortunately.

Mila is my least favourite.

wonderrotunda · 31/03/2020 23:34

Where I grew up there was a clothes shop called Arana...I always thought would make a nice girls name

Astronica · 01/04/2020 00:35

Orla is my favourite and is the most interesting and most timeless of the list.

PippaPegg · 01/04/2020 00:52

Nope.

They will date horribly.

Peachbubble · 01/04/2020 06:36

Orla, although I do like Mila too.

BananaPlant · 01/04/2020 07:07

Orla is nice but every girl has Rose as a middle name right now.

emmathedilemma · 01/04/2020 07:38

Orla
Never sure of pronunciation for Mila - Mile-a or Mill-a? I know both but spelled the same way.
Aria is Disney princess and doesn't stand up to the adult name test for me.

BananaPlant · 01/04/2020 07:53

I don’t like the name Mila, it sounds a bit wet and not really like a proper name, I don’t know why.

Mumma4262 · 01/04/2020 08:16

Much prefer Mila!

CyrilSneer30 · 01/04/2020 08:22

Mila or Orla - we had Orlaith on our list to avoid the ‘oral’ autocorrect Confused

IceKitten · 01/04/2020 08:23

Aria

Wolfgirrl · 01/04/2020 08:28

Mila is lovely. Orla reminds me of killer whales and aria reminds me of areola!

Princess200000 · 01/04/2020 11:05

Wolfgirrl is it strange I kinda like the killer whale reference?😂 I live by the sea so maybe a cute connection? Or maybe I’ve just lost the plot?! Ahha
