Plz help.... which name for my baby girl??

[Nixx101]

Hi. Im due on the 7th Feb with a girl and had a name picked out, but ive now found another i love and me and my dh cant pick between them? Plz help, what do u think.... its between TIA and ASHA. Which do u prefer and Do u think either of them are a bit chavvy? Thanks ladies. x

Ooh love Talia too! My best friend called her little girl that.

Not overly keen on Tia but have a Sri Lankan friend who is called Asha. Have a Finnish friend called Pia.

Thea is lovely as well

i really like the name Siri

No to Tia and Asha - a bit chavvy.

Thalia (prefer that spelling) is a LOT nicer, and not at all chavvy.

What about Thea, Aster, Aphra? They are quite similar.

Talia is v.pretty. Will have to get DH to read this thread and see what he thinks.

Thanks hatrick, you never know you could use in for number 5

The reason we opted for Talia was in part because it was the easiest spelling, I'm sure she would have got Th-ah-lia with the TH sound in it as silent letters really phase some people. She has also been called Tay-lia. And we were accused of making it up.

People eh? Just goes to show you have to chose a name YOU like and sod everyone else.

I have a name that is a brand of cake and the number of idiots people when they first here it say "oh like the cake ha ha ha ha" like they are the first people to make the connection and I haven't heard it 1000 times before, drives me mad. That's why I think whilst Tia is a pretty name that I wouldn't use it.

i cnat think of a brand of cake....

yes you can two names both v popular in the 1970's, mine are hyphenated together, kind of like a certain cbeebies presenter

theres tonnes of clues

I bloody hate those cakes

Also know someone who names their son after their favourite drink, why?

Mister-Kipling?

I like Asha and it means hope

sara-lee?

Why when I say Sara-Lee do I say it in a really stupid Southern Belle 'well ah do declayer' accent, then laugh at myself.

I really am an idiot

yes you got it notjustmom - whoops I really have outed myself on MN now

I grew up with loads of Sharons, Tracys, Angelas, Michelles etc and hated my name.

Maybe if you called your DD Sharon nowadays they would be all exotic at school surrounded by Evies, Emilys, Chloes, Chantelles etc

What about Tasha Nixx - combine the two?

Hatrick - as a fellow Thea-owner, I must urge you to STOP suggesting it on name threads .

I do like Thalia but think Asha and Tia are slightly chavvy!

Sweetkitty

I was really hoping for mister-kipling

Oh yes indeed, hatrick.

Tia is cute. I love this site because it has name surveys - people who are actually called the name answer questions about whether they like it, whether they were bullied etc. 90% of people who answered (that's 90% of 92 people!) said they liked being called Tia 'a lot'. 80% would advise parents to name their child Tia. Just a thought x

Thank u, will check that site out.x

Hi I love the name Tia, although slightly biased as have a little girl with that name in the family and as an affectionate nickname (usually when she has been naughty instead of being shouted at!!) she gets called Tia Maria She suits it, its very cute and girly as she is!!!
