Wow Ruth that's a lot of names you like - how on earth did you decide on nina!
I like cherry on your list x
Aw I had written a lot of stuff there. Lost it! Argh. Ok.. Here I go again.

Nina's name is a long story and the list of names I had when naming Nina was totally different to the list I have above.

Nina being named Nina is a long story. Our cat who died last year, darling boy Charlie was a kitten from a friends cats litter. My friends daughter was very young, about 3 when they had the litter. In the early weeks Charlie was thought to be a girl and was named Nina from Nina and the Neurons (?I think that's it, by friends daughter - cute really :)). Anyway when Charlie was discovered to be a boy, we loved him anyway and he was named Charles Nina. We wanted to keep Nina in his name as a tribute to his first naming by friends little daughter. So in memory of little Charlie, Nina got her sweet name. It's a lovely name and means little girl in spanish. It sounds cute when you say it and Nina suits it so so well, you can't help talk to her in a baby voice with her sweet name and nature. So that's it really. It just fits.

Lola's name is also spanish origin. We love Spain. The meaning of Lola has contradictions/different meanings. Somewhere between "sorrows" and "strong woman" - this fits Lola well too as she didn't have a great start in life with her breeder but she's my little survivor. :D

Wow sorry for that. I think meaningful names are important. :)
