Ada, Nia or Romy?

[emeraldrainbow]

What are people’s preferences on these names?

Love Nia, I don’t care for the others at all, sorry.

Nia is lovely, Ada is nice, Romy is awful

I love Romy

Is Nia pronounced Nee-ah or N-eye-ah? I like Romy

romy

Pronounced Neeah

I like Ada. Dislike Nia and Romy equally.

Romy

I love the name Romy. So much I named my donkey Romy.

Nia for me.

The fridge we had when I was a child was made by Ada!

Nia but I wouldn't use it because I know dozens of them.

I don't like Ada or Romy.

Romy

Only like Ada from your list

I love Romy!

Ada is better by far.

I only like Ada.

Romy is too whimsical for me and Nia would just sound like someone saying 'Near' around here. Near what? Near where? Mia is ok, but I don't like Nia for this reason.

Ada is awful.

Nia and Romy are both lovely.

Appreciate the honest feedback! But can I ask, what is awful about Ada?

I don't like the trend for old fashioned names. I don't think a teenager would thank you for being called Ada.

Maybe not if they had been born in the 80s and were a teenager in the late 90s/early 00s, because they would have stood out for having an old-fashioned name at the time.

Adas born now are in fashion. Whereas a teenager called Jennifer, Claire or Michelle would be considered to have an old fashioned name these days. Times change, fashions change. You may not like the current fashion, and that's your prerogative, but the comment about she won't thank you when she's a teenager is a bit ridiculous given that she'll be a teenager in a class with peers called Elsie, Florence, Mabel, Ivy, Stanley, Arthur etc. They'll all see their names as normal for their age group. Their grandparents will have names like Andy, Louise, Steve and Sarah. Those names will feel 'old' to them. It's all relative.

Ada. I love it

Romy

Ada’s ok

I don’t get Nia, it just sounds like a sneery noise, ny-ya, or knee-a. It’s like the sneery poor relation of Mia.

Rory is lovely.

Of those three, Ada is my favourite (although I prefer Ava). Romy is a bit twee and nicknamey, and I much prefer Mia to Nia.

I prefer Mia to Nia.

Nia sounds negative to me - kind of like a version of "No" in the way that "yeah" is a version of yes, maybe a form of "nah."

"Do you want to come to the movie tonight?"
"Niiiiaa"

Mia seems softer.

Romy is originally short for Rosemarie I think, which I think is quite pretty spelled that way.
