Ada, Nia or Romy?

[emeraldrainbow]

What are people’s preferences on these names?

I love Nia its my one I didnt get to use as dh doesnt like it. Unlike poster above I do not think Mia is softer that just reminds me of cats screeching and due to me mia is harsh and screechy.

For me Nia is soft and beautiful.

I am not a fan of Romy and while I like Ada ita nowhere near as much as I like Nia

I love Romy, don’t mind Ada, and really am not keen on Nia - I’ve never heard that name before. (I like Nina though which is what my phone tried to correct it to.)

Romy

Can’t stand Ada. I wouldn’t use either of the others due to people I know with those names but both are nice enough.

I like Nia best, then Ada, really not keen on Romy.

I love Ada but I'm biased as I have a DD called Ada. Then Nia, then Romy- I associate it with boys to be honest. Met lots of boy Romys but never a girl.

All three names are acceptable.
None meet with my personal adoration.

My order of preference is
Ada 8
Nia 7
Romy 6

Others to consider ..
Adele 10
Rosemary 9
Amy 9
Ida 9
Niamh 9
Ngaire 8
Niesha 8
Ayesha 8

I have a teen Ada it doesn’t seem to be considered old lady ish with her peers, it sort of sits with all the Ava/Eva/Isla’s etc

Obviously I love the name but I like Romy too

Nia is a beautiful name.

Romy 💯

what is awful about Ada?
Sounds like first aider. I can't see any appeal in it or Ava.

I really don't like Rosemarie. It looks like a twee spelling of Rosemary, which is a boring name.

I don't like Mia because it is overused and sounds like mere.

Rosemarie is the traditional French and German spelling. I think it's prettier.

It is prettier but Rosemary isn't pretty at all so it's not saying much.

I don’t like Ada at all, but I don’t like old lady names regardless of if they’re back on trend or not.

I like Nia.

Nia is a Welsh name. All Nia's I know are over the age of 20 now. I like it though.

Ada is horrible

Romy is okay

Love Romy and Ada like Nia

Nia is a Welsh name. It's the Welsh equivalent of Niamh.

All Nia's I know are over the age of 20 now. There are lots of them in the 50-65 age group.

I really like it but the Mia trend puts me off it for now and as pp I know too many to use it. There were at least 2 in my class at school, it was the name of two of my friends at school etc.

Ada

My order of preference would be
Romy
Ada

Nia

Def Ada!! It's lovely. Pronounced Aid-ah where I am from. Not 'duh' sound. Yes its old school, which is basically all the names at the moment, but beautiful and suits all ages and professions IMO. Top 50 in the UK so it is obviously well liked, and I'd go by that rather than those commenting on mumsnet. Not so fond of Nia or Romy as dont think they would age well.

Love Nia

love Nia x

Ada is originally short for Adelaide after Queen Adelaide. Or you could use Adeline. Much nicer to have the full name. Nia? Not for me. Romy I really like. I’d put it with Adelaide!

Interesting choices of grandparent names. Assuming grandparents are in their 60s the popular names would be Sharon, Tracey, Debbie, Karen, Beverly, Gary, Simon ... more than the names you quote

I love the name Nia, have known a fair few around my own age over the years (late 30’s now).

I like Ada and know one in her teens who is an absolutely wonderful human being, which may well influence how I view the name overall.

Can’t stand Romy.
