  I like Nadia, but only if you don't live in an area with a large Spanish-speaking population.

  Sounds kind of similar to "nadie," which means "nobody."

  DH speaks Spanish and he's ok with it, so I am! I speak Spanish as a second language and that didn't come to mind but thanks for pointing it out!

  I do not think "Spanish" when I hear the name Nadia -- isn't it Russian? I love the name, BTW ...

  It's Russian and Arabic. I'm loving it too! I think it will be among our top choices.

  I knew a Nadia - a woman - and she came from Czechoslovakia - I know it's no longer Czechoslovakia, but I don't want to do any Googling.

  I like Nadia.  I think it is a strong, feminine name for a girl.

  Not in my opinion.  Too much "ia".

  I never said it was Spanish. I just pointed out what Spanish speakers would think in case the OP lives in a Spanish-speaking area. The association with "nobody" is a comment a friend of mine named Nadia gets all the time in NYC.

  I know a Puerto Rican girl named Nadia, so I wouldn't think it's a problem.

  I always thought the sound difference was "nah-dee-uh" and "nah-dee-A" 

  Seriously, name your kid whatever you love. Nadia is a beautiful name.

  Yes the "a" makes it go together nicely.

  Nadia isn't my favorite, but its a fine name and goes well with Sophia.

  I definitely like Nadia better than Dania!

  And the reason it DOES go with Sophia is b/c the emphasis is on a different syllable.

  I have an Italian friend named Nadia (but she actually went by Anna until high school/college...IDK why)  I think it's a beautiful name.

  Well I have a friend who married a spanish man and they have a daughter Nadia, we live in Northern NJ which is very heavily populated by spanish speakers.
