Hi !!

I Like Greta, very pretty. In fact the more I look at it, the more I love it!!

I'm thinking that as you had to put how to pronounce the others may have indicate problems with others pronouncing and spelling the name later in life - ie register at school, every time they are asked their name they'll have to say "Spelt ....."

I'd go with Greta!!

DH has now vetoed Greta as he says it's too harsh sounding

I know a girl of 12 called Aneira, she gets very upset as people either can't say her name or spell it wrongly.

does she hate her name for that reason fimbo?

I was just thinking, for Aneira, if potential DD would find it a PITA she could go by Annie as a NN?

Yes.

I actually think her mum regrets her choice.

My own name has a "t" in the middle which is frequently dropped and makes my name sound really awful. My mother regrets calling me it for this reason.
