Oh, um, it does a bit OIRS

littlewoman · 14/07/2008 11:27

But the more I say it, the more I like them together.

Littlewoman, whats OIRS mean? (sorry, new here!)

I think it you say it quickly then any name always sounds a bit strange. I have a Maya Owens and that can roll into one if I'm not careful!

I think we can get away with it, its not awful together.

I ran it past my mum, she loves it! That's the most important person sorted then!

What middle name would go with Anya? I already have Elisabeth and Rose as middle names for my DDs.

It's short for Oh I really Shouldn't. I was replying to you

Durrr!

Something ending in a y or a longer name (like Elizabeth, but not that).

Sophie, Poppy, Lilly, Jasmine, Violet, Frances, Rachel, Megan, Caroline, Emily, Ruby, Kitty.....

"Anya" could also be "Aine"- which is Irish- meaning "splendor, radiance, brilliance." Fairly common in Ireland and pronounced the same way as Anya. I think it's lovely.

I love the name Anya

It's a lovely name, basically a Russian form of Anna (which is kind of dated). Anya is getting popular in the last decade: baby name Anya

I know an Anya, noone calls her Anna

ProfYaffle · 16/07/2008 07:29

I know an Anya, doesn't get called Anna but always makes me think of potatoes I think it's a lovely name though.
