Baby Names
Niene, Malin, Riva, or Nele
LoesGuest ·
Hi! I'm 31 weeks along now and time is starting to run out. What names do you think are nice for our first baby? What associations do you have with them? The last name starts with a T. I'm making two polls since we don't know the gender yet. Other options are, of course, still welcome. Thanks!

Congratulations!!
I really like Riva and Malin.
I’m not a big fan of names ending in an 'e' sound, but that’s super personal, of course. -

And Riva is, of course, a restaurant... I don't know if you'd mind that. You could also consider Reva. -

Malin is the most fun.
I think Rivka is nicer than Riva. -

Niene and Malin are the cutest!
I don't think the other two are as nice. -

If I had to pick my own name from this list, I’d go with Riva. Feminine, clear, and catchy.
I think Niene and Nele are a bit old-fashioned.
Malin is also beautiful. I find Maylinn more appealing and interesting, but judging by your other names, that’s probably not your style.
Other options could be Runa, Maren, Nevah, Eden, Reia, Lovée, Elin, Jinte, Thirza, Reva. -

Congratulations!
It's up to you, but I'd never choose Malin. It means 'malicious' in French, look it up. In Dutch, the term 'maligne' is also commonly used, like in 'malignant tumor'. That's really my first association, and I think it would be the same for other French speakers like me.
Of the other names, I think Riva is the prettiest!
Niene and Nele are also nice, but I find Niene too 'cute' for an older woman, and Nele a bit 'old-fashioned' for a baby.
