Fi-day-lia. It reminds of hymn lyrics.....

duchesse · 13/08/2009 20:06

I'd go with option 1 personally. I think I like it.

boodleboot · 13/08/2009 20:08

i thought it would be FID - ay-leah

MrsMattie · 13/08/2009 20:09

Fi-day-lia

MrsKitty · 13/08/2009 20:10

I read it as Fi-DEY-lia

malung · 13/08/2009 20:55

Fid_aay -lia

MummyDragon · 13/08/2009 21:07

Fi-DEY-lia

What a beautiful name

All these lovely names on MN recently are really making me want to try for no.3!!

Fi-day-lia. Makes me think it's the female version of the Beethoven opera Fidelio. That could either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending.

good show - that's fairly unanimous then. I like it too. Am a fan of the 'virtue' names. Thanks to all

It's certainly different. And sounds quite nice. Not sure if it wouldn't make a gal prone to a bit of teasing if she was actually a 'bolter'...
