Thoughts on this name.

[Mamato4girls]

Still deciding on names here (4th girl) My OH loves Aya (pronounced eye-a)

Do you like it? Please don't be rude BTW- I'm just asking from one mum to a next.

I like it, and it makes a change from Ava, Eva, etc. Nothing wrong with those, but lots of them around!

I don't love it.

Sounds like 'hiya' so I'm not a fan. What about Isla or Ayla?

Sounds like how some people greet each other .

I would pronounce it ay a if I saw it written down. I think eye a sounds incomplete in some way.

It sounds like “hiya” to me in Yorkshire! Also I think written may get mixed for Ava at a glance? I’m not keen but if you love it as much as your DH then that’s what matters.

I like it but you’ll constantly be correcting the pronunciation/ spelling which would put me off

Tbh I'm not keen but cant really grasp why. Aria, Ava, Anya, Orla and Isla are all names that are a bit similar and I think are lovely?

I think it just seems unfinished to me maybe?

I know an adult Aija prn eye-a, she's Latvian. I think its a lovely sounding name.

I don’t dislike it but there are lots of names short and heavy with vowels so it does fit into the current trend if that’s something you’d care about. Personally I like stronger longer names.

Hmm yes. I actually agree with everything above. Thanks!! Maybe I'll just call her Mary. 4th time around is a real struggle

It sounds made up to me - like a lot of those names that contain "ya" in them.

No, sounds likeva spanish exasperation, "aye yai yai" (por Diòs)

Actually Mary would be really refreshing these days.

If you tell us your other daughters' names, perhaps we can suggest something to suit?

If you have to ask , you’re not convinced , if you’re not convinced , don’t do it

So true Mary would be refreshing. Lol.

I have three girls at home - Willow, Sage and India. They are 5, 3 and 2.

I'd go Mary!

Beautiful names!
How about clover, olive, peony or Wren to continue a nature theme?
Four girls! Congratulations

Willow, Sage and India are lovely.

I don't like Aya.

Isla?

Enya?

Ailsa?

I LOVE Wren but we can't use it because our surname bascially starts with Wren. Otherwise it would have top of the list. I actually love Bonnie too but I feel like it's just so different than the girls name

Gorgeous names. I don’t think Aya fits with them.
Poppy
Rowan

I had a childhood friend with this name, spelled differently. Her last name had 3 syllables and it sounded nice together. She was actually an Olympian too.

I think Bonnie is good with the other names

I think Aya fits in quite well! Love those names!

What about Anna or Alma?
