Hi, we have started thinking about names for baby number 3 and have pretty much settled on a boys name but struggling for girls name. We like short names and would prefer it to start with an A. So far we have:
Anya
Adette
Analia - I know this isn’t short but we love it and she would possible go by Ana (my sisters name though) or Lia

We like names that aren’t too common but not unheard of either

TIA

Analia? Are you sure OP? I immediately winced at the anal bit in it. Sorry! Blush

whatausername · 06/06/2020 17:43

I really wouldn't want to be a teen girl with the name Analia. Otoh when she hits her 20s she'll sure get a lot of hits on the 2040s version of Tinder Sad

TimeWastingButFun · 06/06/2020 17:50

I've always liked Ana. Eve, Jade (got a bit spoiled by overuse though) Rose, Lei,

eatsleepbreastfeedrepeat · 06/06/2020 17:54

missmouse101 I hadn’t really thought of that, I think it’s because I heard it before I saw it so don’t really think of it when I say it.

I like Anna/Ana too but not possible as it’s my sisters name unless it’s a nn.

Should have mentioned my niece is Avery so even though I love it that’s also out

Annie...def not Analia.

missmouse101 · 06/06/2020 18:23

I do think it sounds rather unattractive too. Like a-gnarlier. Gnarly is an ugly adjective. Anya is sweet OP, or Aspen, Amy, Amara?

Tootletum · 06/06/2020 18:24

Am I the only one with a dirty mind? Not Analia. What about Rita?
