Marks out of 10 for these 5 girls names please!

[pinktimesone]

Really like 'ia' ending names for DD as I think they sound feminine. Can you put a comment next to each, I don't want anything too popular, including any potential nicknames, but as it's my first, I don't know what is. I know different names sounds better depending on where you live, I'm in SW London. Thanks!

Sophia
Olivia
Alicia
Natalia
Claudia

Sophia & Olivia 5 (pretty names but extremely popular these days and will surely mark these girls as produce of late 2000s.)

Alicia 6 (OK, but not terribly interesting)

Natalia 7 (nice)

Claudia 8 (very pretty)

Sophia...8/10 like, prefer Sophie though
Olivia...7/10...like but VERY popular here
Alicia....6/10....OK
Natalia...Don't like 1/10
Claudia ...1/10 also don't like

Sophia: beautiful but too popular: 6
Olivia: 5
Alicia: 4
Natalia: it's the name of my favourite writer and it is beautiful: 8 (what would the English pronounciation be?)
Claudia: 7

Sophia 9/10
Olivia 6/10
Alicia 5/10
Natalia 3/10
Claudia 4/10

Hi

Sophia - 8/10 beautiful and classic
Olivia - 7/10 pretty but popular
Alicia - 7/10 not bad but prefer Alice
Natalia - 4/10 not sure
Claudia - 2/10 I find this a harsh name

Sophia 7/10 (I would prefer Sophie)
Olivia 8/10 (under-used these days - a nice name)
Alicia 3/10 (I think it's a bit pretentious)
Natalia 7/10 (but prefer Natalie)
Claudia 2/10 (harsh sounding)

Sophia 7/10 is nice but i prefer Sophie

Olivia 8/10 popular name but nice my favourite from your list.

Alicia 6/10 sounds nice but i think its becoming more popular and people are spelling it so many different ways and pronouncing it differently.

Natalia 4/10 dont really like

Claudia 3/10 really dont like also confusion over how its pronounced some people say clau-de-ah some people say clou-de-ah.

Sophia - 9/10

Claudia - 2/10

Am in SE London and would say that know more Olivias than any of your other choices.

Only know a few Sophias.

Wow lots of replies! Thanks ladies, it's such a great help in deciding.

Tigerschick - yes I did think of Amelia or Emilia, but I think if we did choose one, people would always spell it the other way.

It seems that Sophia and Olivia are very popular at the moment. I know it shouldn't but I think it would bother me if there were too many others at DD's nursery or school, as my name was very popular when I was at school and I didn't like that.

Sophia - 5
Olivia - 3
Alicia - 2
Natalia - 2
Claudia - 5

Sophia 7/10
Olivia 6/10
Rest 3/10

Sophia 8.5
Olivia 6
Alicia 5
Natalia 7 or 9 for a Christmas baby
Claudia 9.5 It was the meaning which stopped me naming DD Claudia.

Have you thought of;

Anastasia

Saskia

Ophelia

out of your names I'd go for Olivia or Sophia - not sure about marks out of 10, maybe 6 or 7 for both

Sophia - 9/10 (popular at the moment but not too common, on our list)
Olivia - 6/10 (I don't like Liv or Livvy so it would not work for me. Its in the top 3 at the mo).
Alicia 2/10 (just don't like it)
Natalia 6/10 (pretty, very Russian sounding)
Claudia 7/10 (pretty, but don't like Claude as a nn.

What about Lucia (as in "Lu-chee-a"
I like Octavia as well.

LynetteScavo and pooka, thanks for the new name suggestions. I don't particularly dislike any of them but don't like them enough to add to my list.

Alicia is definitely off my list now, I still really like the other 4, even though I see they're not all to everyone's liking!

artichokes - thanks for your comments. I'm not a big fan of shortening names but understand that names do get shortened, especially at school, so that's something I need to consider on all the names.

See, in Olivia's favour (to me) is the fact that it can be shortened in different ways. So I know a Livvy and a Liv (but they are both also known as Olivia).

Another "ia" name that is lovely is Lydia. And only know two (one 7 yr old and 1 5 yr old) in my neck of the woods.
