Which should I choose?!

Now having 2nd thoughts on names for DD! Which would you choose - Nina or Emilia? DS is called Teddy.

I love Nina but also really like Emilia (possible nn Emmy) but don't want her having to correct people thinking its Amelia her whole life!

I prefer Emilia.

Nina! Lovely name.

Emilia is lovely, not keen on Nina.

Go with your gut. You loved Nina first.

Nina
Also like Lena.

Nina, definitely. Emilia just blends in with all the Amelia, Emily, Emma, Evie, Ava names.

Nina.

I think Emilia is very pretty and sounds nice with Teddy. I'm not fond of Nina. What about Annabel or Caroline?

Neither are my style but I'd go with Nina as there were 2 Emilia's, an Emily and an Emilyn in dds nursery class, so it seems overused

Nina.

Nina. Emilia will get Amelia/Emily and it will be annoying. Nina is classic and beautiful.

Either name, both lovely 😊

I think Emilia Clark is fixing the spelling issue, not sure people would automatically go “Amelia” anymore.

Nina is a gorgeous underused Classic.
The Amelia/Emilia thing would drive me mad!

I do prefer Emilia and like Emmy as a nn. I just think it's prettier whilst Nina is a bit plain to me. Emilia/Amelia is quite common right now though so Nina would be the better choice if you don't want her to share a name with lots of others!

Much prefer Nina. It does sound very different from Teddy. Phoebe would be a better fit in style but I don't it matters that much, just go with the name you like.

Thanks everyone!

Its interesting a few people have said Nina doesn't go with Teddy... I wonder what sort of names do?

I have a Teddy (Edward) with a sister whose name is very similar to Nina (rhymes with it). It's never occurred to me that their names don't 'go together'.

Nina for me. I like Emilia a lot though too.

Personally Emilia is too popular for me but if you love it as a name definitely go for it. My choice of the two would be Nina, I think its really cute. X

What about Nita- I think it fits with Teddy better than Nina.

Emily, Emilia, Emmerline all go with Edward (Teddy) much better than Nina and I much prefer those names. They feel far more feminine and warm in comparison to Nina!

@Pineapple30 I have always thought Emilia is a lovely name & I think it goes well with Teddy.

If it helps I know a sibset with a Teddy (Edward on bc but they have always call him teddy), Imogen (Nn immy) and Scarlett (nn lettie). I think both those options are also lovely and go really well with Teddy 🙂 x

I would go for Nina- in my opinion there are a lot of Amelias about at the moment and so any Emelia would spend their whole time correcting spelling of their name.

Nina is fab, and I think it goes well with Teddy!
