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

TappyGilmore · Yesterday 01:31

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.

MississippiCroc · Yesterday 10:51

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

Crikeyomalley · Yesterday 11:03

Love Romy and Ada like Nia

NamingNoNames · Yesterday 11:18

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
