Names I've been thinking about lately... WDYT?

Ledia (lay-dee-ah)
Helicia
Clea (clay-ah)
Catriona
Nerina
Theonie
Abri
Cassia
Athaliah
Atalya

I'm not having another baby any time soon, but I love thinking about it. If I have another girl down the line, I'm pretty sure I'd go with Thessaly. I'm not sure if it's too close to my daughter, Cressa, though. WDYT?

Comments

I feel like commenting on all of them 8)

Ledia (lay-dee-ah): It's ok. Makes me think of Lady a little too much.
Helicia: I actually like this. Strange!
Clea (clay-ah): Love.
Catriona: No...I don't like the trion-part. I don't know why.
Nerina: Not my style at all.
Theonie: Nonono. It's crazy, IMO. Like Theo & Leonie together.
Abri: Hm. I prefer Aubrey.
Cassia: Really pretty!
Athaliah: Indifferent =)
Atalya: Kinda pretty =)!

LOVE Helicia - never heard it before though, so is it a hard or a soft "c"? Also, do you know what it means? (Is it something to do with Greece, ie. Hellenic)
Clea (although I would have pronounced it CLEE-ah) and Catriona are also nice.

It is a soft "c". Like Elise. It's Greek for Sunshine.

That's the way I was hoping it was pronounced, and it has such a great meaning too!

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love it. It goes well with my daughter's name meaning too, hers means golden.

Thessaly in full doesn't sound too close to Cressa, though it might be if you were to use Thessa for short. I love the name, though, so I'd say go for it. You could always shorten it to Aly instead, or just never shorten it.

A Ledia would get teased--it sounds like a certain part of the female anatomy.

I like Nerina and Cassia a lot. Cassia sounds nice with Cressa--not too close, but like they go together.

I like Aly as a nickname. Thessa obviously wouldn't work. I would hope it wouldn't be shortened at all.

I realized that when I posted it, it totally is like labia...

Mm, I don't really like any of them. Ledia seems like a kr8yv version of Lydia. I knew a Clea who pronounced it like Clee-uh, and I like it better that way.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Ledia is the Spannish form of Leda which is Greek. Clea is also Greek and is a variation of Cleanthe and I'm pretty sure the variation Clia is pronounced "clee-uh".

The name Ledia with the "lay-dee-ah" pronunciation makes me think of Kate Hudson on Almost Famous who goes by Pennylane because her mom named her Lady and she hates it. lol.
