Anya

We're one and done at this point, but this is the name of an adorable Indian girl at our gym playcare. The name is pronounced ON-ya. I realize the potential teasing possible in the near future. It's a Sanskrit and Russian name as well. Thoughts?

I have a feeling this name might pick up in popularity this year because of the girl named Anya on Project Runway. Its a pretty name.

I think Anya is precious! My oldest sister's youngest daughter's name is Anya Elise. Big Smile

I like this name, but it immediately makes me think of Degrassi and I'm not sure I'd want my kids to be named after anyone on that show.

I like the Anya but pronounced An-yah.

Love it! It's my cousin's wife's name- I think she's Ukranian? But she might be Russian. Anyway, love it!

I can't figure out the source for teasing...

Love it! A coworker of mine has a daughter named Aine (same pronunciation- Irish spelling).

I like it, I have heard it a lot in Eastern Europe

I love the name, but it means mom in Hungarian which is what my in-laws speak. So we hear it all the time in reference to mothers in general and it's what my SO calls his mom, so it's out for us.
