DC1 is 5 days old and we can't quite decide between Orla, Iona (pronounced the Welsh way Yona), Nia (pronounced Knee-ah). Any suggestions for middle names that go with any of these 3

I am Orla Louise - go for it!

I've always loved my name and it's been fab to have for the last 32 years (and counting.........)

Orla and iona lovely.

Nia very odd. Sounds incomplete. Short for narnia!

burgatroyd · 14/11/2014 09:38

Agree Nia sounds unfinished.

I also like Niah as an alternative spelling

Love Orla, it's on our shortlist. You could also spell it the Iris way Orlaith but I prefer Orla :)
If we do have a girl her middle name will be Ann after my mum
