Ada, Nia or Romy?

[emeraldrainbow]

What are people’s preferences on these names?

Is Nia pronounced as
Ny ah
or
Knee ah
?

KNEE-ah. (Not Ny-uh or Nee-uh.)

Ada = Peaky Blinders fan for a parent, better than Khaleesi but not by much
Romy = Romy and Michelle movie, very much a 90’s name.
Nia, can’t say I’ve heard it before.

I love Nia, but I do have a very lovely Welsh friend in her 50s called Nia. Ada is OK, don't really like Romy.

Romy is beautiful and a good international name. Makes me think of Romy and Michele or Romy Schneider! I think Ada is nice enough and I know one who is lovely, but it has become very popular. I’m afraid I dislike Nia.

I dislike Nia. I like the sound of it but I'm Irish and it's the Irish word for nephew, the way nephew is masculine and Nia is used as a girls name always messes with my brain so that's why I don't like it. So if that doesn't bother you, then it is a nice sounding name.

I adore the name Ada. It has become quite popular here recently (so has Èala pronounced Ale-ah, close to Ada). It's a beautiful name.

Not a fan of Romy. I dont like how it sounds or looks, just cant get on board with it. I dont know why!

Not really an 'interesting choice', just a very small snapshot of names of people who I know who have recently become grandparents actually. There are definitely people with those names in their 60s (or older), and there are definitely people who become grandparents in their 50s or even 40s. Likewise, the names you have provided could easily be 'new grandparent' names too. The male names, in particular, are exactly the same style as mine.

My point still stands, whether we use my names or your names. Kids of today are unlikely to have a grandma called Ada. They will see a totally different set of names as being old-fashioned. The names of their actual grandparents.

I love all three!

I probably wouldn’t choose Nia as, while I like it, I HATE Mia. I think it’s one of the ugliest sounds and I worry Nia would be mistaken as Mia.

Nina was a name we were considering.

Also, as others say, Ada and Romy are popular but that’s because they are nice names! I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

are popular but that’s because they are nice
They're popular because they're popular. It's just fashion.

Kids of today are unlikely to have a grandma called Ada. They might have a great-great-grandmother called it. It dropped out of the top 100 in the 1920s.

None, sorry
