Saffia?

[Thebunk]

Do you like it?

bump

Have never heard of it before. What does it meaan?

I am assuming a girls name?

It has quite a pretty name to it- - a bit like Saffron.

Have seen it spelt Saffiyah
I don't mind it, but don't like Saffy as a nickname

Its a girls name, it means friend, pure

Yup, I know a Safia in RL (diff spelling obviously). Muslim name though - are you Muslim?

I know a Polish girl called Zaphia. I quite like it.

No not Muslim

I know a Safia and her family are Muslim.

i know a safia - half scottish half bangladehsi - very nice.

quite a pretty name, but someone went into big brother with that name last night, may put me off a little if babies birth is very soon

I'm not pregnant yet, we are TTC and I am starting to think about names and not a lot else

bumping for the weekend crowd

It's pretty - I know a Safiya.

There's a little Muslim girl in ds's nursery called Safia. Pretty name!

Do you think it will matter that we are not muslim?

Yeah, personally I think it will. If you're not, people will assume they have mis-heard and she's Sophia.

Noor is one of my all-time favourite names but as we're both snowy-white Celts it would have been ridiculous.

Have you been watching Big Brother by any chance I don't think you need the two ff's tbh. There are a couple of pretty 'Muslim' spellings above which look a lot nicer. Just claim a close Muslim friend or distant relation by marriage if you like it

How about Sophia as an alternative?

I know of one too. Family not muslim though. Her elder sister has a name that sounds Prussian or something (?) too. I didn't know the origin of the name. I just thought 'very unusual'.

Prefer Sophia

I would have liked it (I like Saffia, Saffron, Sienna..) until that mouthy, interrupty so & so appeared on BB (which I swore I wasn't going to watch this year.. )

One of the BB contestants this year - not sure how she spells it. This would put me off.

My 2nd dd is Saskia which sounds similar.Was also a BB contestant the year after I had her.Did get a few is she named after her off BB?
The good news is it hasn't been said in last few years .As we all know BB housemates are soon forgotten .
