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 Grin?

Reminds me of character by that name in Star Trek NG (but good connotation)

Love it - it made the final 3 when we were choosing names for DD. Decided it was a bit too ‘New Age’ for us in the end, but I still think it’s beautiful.

Ford used to have a Gaia spec for their cars!
That was Ghia, the posh spec! Tape deck and padded steering wheel.

I don't know why I remember these useless bits of information, but I remember when Emma Thompson's daughter Gaia was born that Stephen Fry said it sounded like the name of an internet start up company.
