Heard a new girls name today....

[SherbertLemons]

Heard a name I'd never heard before and I think it's really stunning. What do you think....

Gaia (pronounced "GUY-a")

Apparently, it means "Earth/Mother Earth".

What do you think. Beautiful or am I hormonal ?

Very common Italian name, I know a few in the Uk too. I like it.

Love it

The actors Emma Thompson and Greg Wise have a daughter called Gaia. It's a beautiful name.

@FiloPasty another reason I really like it; my dad's Italian :)
I saw it was in the top 20 in Italy!

It looks beautiful written down, but in my accent it sounds quite ugly.

Friend’s daughter is called Gaia. Another’s is called Thea.

Had never heard either until they chose them, think they’re both stunning.

It makes me think of the Gaia Hypothesis (James Lovelock)

Very bizarrely. I heard this name for the first time today too.

It was on a 5min video that auto played to me on FB this morning...about a starving cow rescued from an abusive lifestyle and nursed back to health.

Gaia was the name of the cow.

@OublietteBravo that's what my DP said; but in a good way

@OublietteBravo FAB username btw!

@Goatinthegarden it is a good Cow name lol

One if the 'houses' at my secondary school is Gaia

I know a Gaia, she must be in her 50's, a lovely lady, very stylish. It's a lovely name, really elegant.

My rotty is called Gaia!! She loves to sleep under my bed. It's an awesome name.

@Nobloat21

It looks beautiful written down, but in my accent it sounds quite ugly.

Agree, gayah, guyuh neither sounds great. But looks beautiful

I know a few Greek women named Gaia, it’s a gorgeous name

I’ve loved this name since I read the Fearless books as a pre-teen. Such a cool name

I know a Deia which I also think is beautiful.

@fantastaballs she is beautiful!

As a woman who is far far removed from earth mother I am afraid it doesn't float my boat. Reminds me of Gaius in Merlin therefore a bit "one foot in the grave" dour and miserable. Can't think of the actor's name.

I like it. Looks pretty, I like the sound and love the meaning.

I've always loved Gaia. I think it's gradually becoming more popular now though in the UK as people look for the new Maya/Maia.

I don't like the sound of it.

I think it sounds a bit medical.

It looks pretty written down though.

I know one who is 16.

Gaia was few goddess of the Earth in Greek mythology.

I love it!

I seriously considered it for my first child but it doesn't fit with our last name unfortunately.
