[Opinions] Venla
I just came across Venla after looking at some popularity charts. Apparently it's quite popular in Finland. What do you think of Venla?Would it work as a sister for Elva?

I think its pretty, but not a good match for a sister named Elva. They feel similar, like anagrams.

Where I live, it's like saying, "Come the ..."In Spanish.

It's not horrible, but I don't personally think it's that pretty. Maybe it reminds me of the word vent or something? If you like it, you could use it with Elva, but I think a name that contrasted more phonetically would make a better looking sibset on paper. :)

I like it.Venla and Elva might be a mouthful if you tried to say them both quickly.

I find Venla just OK: I think I would like it more if it wasn't as popular as it's currently here in Finland. I also think Venla is too close to Elva.

I like it! It does sound very Nordic, but that’s not a bad thing. The meaning isn’t bad, either (it isn’t really good, though — just neutral). Yes, it would definitely make sense as a sibling for Elva. The styles are exactly the same.

Hi !!!!Elva and Venla is a bad sibset imo. They are too similar.I don't like these two names but I heard a variant of Venla that is Vendela. I prefer it to Venla...Venla has something unfinished that makes it like a nickname in my mind.

I really like Elva.This is sort of weird, but my first thought about Venla is that it sounds like the name of an app. Maybe I'm associating it with Venmo. I don't like it as much as I like Elva.

I think it's alright, but way too close to Elva.
