Can’t decide!

[JosieK8]

We have a short list and now hubby says I can pick anything from that but I can’t decide…
please can you help by telling me which you prefer and why and what connotations the names have.
-Aida
-Hannah/Hana
-Lily
-Lina
-Maya
-Talia

thanks x

Talia (although I think I’d spell it Thalia) or Hannah

I like Hannah but it was my DGM's name so I might be biased

Aida - I really like Ada. I don't like Aida, despite loving the opera, because I think most people will pronounce it like Ada instead of eye-EE-duh and she will constantly be correcting people.
-Hannah/Hana - nice. A bit dull but nice enough
-Lily - pretty
-Lina - is it Leena or Line-uh? That confusion would put me off
-Maya - this one also has pronunciation issues but I like it more than the others
-Talia - it's ok

I would go for Ada if it was an option. Otherwise Lily or Maya.

Agree with Ada over Aida (is that eye-ee-da)?

Hannah is nice too and I quite like Maya, although I used to work with a really cheeky one (in a secondary school)

Hannah and Lily are my preferences

Aida - ok
Hannah/Hana - lovely classic name
Lily - pretty but very popular if that bothers you
Lina - it's the name of the most annoying person I ever worked with so has negative connotations for me, I'd prefer Selina
Maya - love this name

I thought that Talia was pronounced TAR - lee -uh (rhyming with Narnia) and Thalia was THAIL-ee - uh (rhyming with failure).
That's how everyone I know pronounces them...

Aida - I prefer the spelling Ada.
But my pick would be Hannah or Lily.

Hannah for sure, very classic and lovely sounding

Talia is beautiful

It is as a short form of Italia.
Pronounced Tal-ya, with an almost silent and soft "ee" before the soft ya ending.

Hannah

Hannah is by far the best

-Aida - a bit hard and overused popular - it’s usually Ada so this spelling will be annoying

-Hannah/Hana - Hannah if you do, it’s a solid name

-Lily - overused and wet

-Lina - nothingy

-Maya - overused and 3 pronunciations

-Talia - Meh

Talia is a lovely name

Aida or Talia imo

I like names to be a bit unusual

No, the 'Th' in Thalia is just pronounced as 'T'. Like in Thomas.

Aida - beautiful but don't like nn 'aid'
-Hannah/Hana - too many
-Lily - too many
-Lina - Lena yes, Lina no
-Maya - mayonnaise
-Talia - lovely don't like nn 'tal'

Hannah

Aida - first aider
Hannah/Hana - Hannah
Lily - nice but has been very popular for ages
Lina - Lena is better but there are lots of popular short L names
Maya - not keen, Lots of Mia and May type names popular
Talia - not sure

Aida is lovely
(Ada is old fashioned )
Talia is lovely

Hannah and Lily. I don’t think it’s ‘unusual’ now to have an ‘unusual’ name to the end that it’s become common to have something no one has heard of/known one of. A classic is always a classic in my view.

Hannah or Anna
