Ahuva, Batsheva and Hadassah are now forever tainted for me because of Ahuva-overdose in this forum.

B"H my community is very mixed so kids' names run the gamut from Fraidy-Frummie-Yentel to Liat-Diva-Tal. We chose first names that sound modern Israeli but are of Biblical origin, with middle names either taken from deceased relatives or chosen because we liked them.
Not till I joined imamother did I ever dream there are so many "things" about naming a child. Why do people feel it necessary to make a religious fixation out of everything?

I love the name Mia! I have other family names that need to come first though.

Todros is a corruption of Theodoros, meaning "gift of G-d," was very popular among early Christians and was the name of many "saints." A lot of "heilige" Yiddish names are corruptions of Greek,Latin and other foreign names. Feivel is a corruption of Phoebus, Greek sun god. Shraga Feivel, Shraga meaning "light" is a very pagan name! Yenta? A corruption of the French Gentille, meaning "gentle." How that morphed into meaning "busybody" is a mystery. But from common use in Jewish communities, these utterly foreign if not downright pagan names acquired a patina of respectability and are considered "very frum" names while Biblical names like Ehud and Eitan are disparaged as "modern" names unfit for a frum person.

I always said if I have another daughter, I’ll call her Nili. Love the way it sounds and love what it’s an acronym for. Well, I never had another daughter. Hopefully one of my kids will choose that name. They know how much I love it😊

The meaning comes from a character with that name.

Ah.
By the same token, though, it could mean, "shuv nolad yeled."

Because a person's name is so much more than just their community. A child will only be a child for so long. How common or uncommon their name is in their school vs the lifetime of meaningfulness their names might carry or the beauty it represents to their parents... it's not even a question in my mind.
I have two children with names that are very uncommon in our circles. They have been the only ones with their names in every school they've gone to. Same for me with my name, by the way. But my kids' names bring me so much joy and they both love them, and I never had any problems having a unique name myself. So I fail to see what the big deal is.
