[Opinions] Gia and Grace
Recent BA: Grace IvyGia has been on my mind for a while. WDYT?
I'm not "in love" with any girls names at the moment. Some names I quite like:Winona (love the name but won't use it due to cultural appropriation)
Gia
Rosa
Julia
Susanna
Fay (can't use, belongs to a niece)
Heather
Vanessa (can't use)
Emilia (too popular)
Sophia (too popular)
Amy
Irene
Francesca
Gloria (partner hates it)
Maria
Laura (can't use)
Carmen
Natalia
Carina (can't use)

I think Gia is cute and fun, but I like it best as a nickname. I like Grace as well. From your list, I particularly like Natalia, Carmen, Laura, Maria, Irene, Sophia (though I agree about popularity. Safiya or Sonia could be alternatives?), Heather, Susanna, Julia and Rosa. If you are uncomfortable with Winona, an alternative could be Fiona. Great list overall!

I like Winona, Julia, Carmen, Natalia the best from your list. However, Heather could be fun to bring back.
I find Gia tacky, sorry. What about Pia?ETA: From your list, I'm fond of Winona, Rosa, Susanna, Irene, and Gloria.

One problem with Pia is the teasing potential
Any name can cause teasing, and any child can be teased about anything. It's a non-issue.
I love AmyGia is ok, but prefer Grace
I like Julia, Susanna, Heather, Natalia
How is Winona cultural appropriation?
It’s Native American.
Okay, in any case, I like Gia. It sounds modern
