Have three girls names I'm thinking of, all different vibes! And can't decide. Could you rank favourite to least favourite please?

Anna
(love that it's classic, but is it dull?)

Nina
(old lady revival that's just jumped 40 places in the charts, so maybe too popular soon?)

Mila
(very cute, more modern but maybe more dated??)

Help please!

@toastofthetown Vita is also lovely though!!

Maybe I should expand my list a bit, and look at other similar names... I clearly like short, -a endings! 😂

Other suggestions also very welcome.

Another vote for Anna. Classic. Mila was actually on my list as I thought of it as a very international name, however it’s lost now in a sea of similar sounding names. Mia Mya Maia Lily Lila etc. Not keen on Nina, just personal preference but nothing wrong with it.

They're all a bit meh tbh.

Greta

Miranda

Clara

Emma

Iona

I love Nina, closely followed by Anna. Both lovely, classic but not completely overused. Great choices!

Mila is ok but maybe a little faddy?

sarah13xx · 27/04/2021 12:43

Mila all the way

Anna - elegant classic, very international (plus a cool palindrome!). I don't find it dull but if she does, it at least has well known nn options (Anya, Annie), so she can make it her own.

Nina (2nd choice) - to me this is a quirkier Anna. A lovely name, neither especially classic/traditional sounding but not trendy yet either. May be on the rise as people look for alternatives to classic Anna, Eva and Emma though.

Mila - pretty name but I think in the UK this is quite trendy sounding, thanks to it being a celeb name and similar to other popular names (Mia, Maya, Myla).

I love Nina, short, sophisticated and international.
Anna is nice, feels more classic but safe choice. Maybe Anya?
Not keen on Mila, some will pronounce it mee-la and others my-la.

  1. Nina,
  2. Anna,
  3. Mila.

Other suggestions with a endings Lara, Cora, Cara, Clara, Rosa, Eliza?

LaBellina · 27/04/2021 13:21

Anna is my favorite. Nina is pretty too.

Not keen on Mila.
