HelpRe: New names on my list
in reply to a message by EMB
Ada - I expect this to keep jumping in popularity, as parents look for alternatives to Emma, Eva, Ava and the like. I do like Ada though and I find it's simplicity charming. It's always a feat when you find a name that sounds and looks complete using only 2 or 3 letters. I do prefer it as a nickname, given teh option though. And I really like Adelina you mentioned. We just put Adilet at the very top of our list - so I think Ada mightw ork there too (esp. if I change the spelling to Adalet).
Alida - I know and Aleida and I kinda prefer that version, just because it makes the pronunciation easier to figure out. Alida is a decent name, but nothing I would be crazy excited about. Mostly because I keep seeing "lid" when I read it, and the sound is rather boring without any frills. Just nms, sorry.
Aloisia- Now, I know people pronounce this with a couple of variations, but I LOVE this name. I personally prefer Allo-wish-ah, but I don't mind the Italian Allo-ee-tzee-ah either. It's interesting to look at and just lovely to say. A very pretty name packed into fewer letters than you would guess. I would love to use it myself, but it's a bit too far out of teh box culturally to fit my family.
Theda - It's strong, yet has a softness that makes it great for a girl. I like it. I would likely assume that it was a nickname at first glance, but it is fine on it's own. This would also be a great protagonist name in a novel.
Thora - all I can think of is Thora Birch (where has she been anyway?). I gotta say that I haven't every seen it besides her name, and I like it. It's totally simple, yet unique and recognizable. I wonder why this isn't more popular.
Ulla - Not bad. I prefer the similar Oona though. Too bad it's not spelled Uula... that would be a really spunky name!
