Help! Girl's name

Hi everyone!

I need your help again! We don’t know if we’re having a boy or a girl. We thought we’d gone for a girl name, but I’m starting to doubt it again. The second and third names are for our mothers, and they both end in an 'a' and start with 'D' and 'M'.

We wouldn’t want to name our first child after someone directly, but I feel like I really want to honor my grandma. Doing four names feels like too much though. Her name is Johanna Anna Maria. I was also thinking about using something with Anna or her mother’s name, which is Helena.

I was thinking of something like Leanna or Leena myself.

The names on our list without this naming consideration include things like: Isa, Emma, Elisa, Daphne, Dyana, Diyenne. So you get a bit of our taste.

Does anyone have an idea for a nice name? Thanks in advance!

    Anna-Lena is my niece
    I think it's a special and beautiful name, and maybe you do too

    The names you've listed without a dedication are nice.
    Maybe something like Lianne? Leanne is pretty nice too, by the way.

    Hannah, Leanna is also beautiful
  4. Deejay #5

    Danisha, Lisanna, Luca, Felina... just a few names that come to mind.
    Daphne is also beautiful! That's actually my name. I've always been very happy with my name, and even now you don't hear it that often.
    (My username is Deejay because my initials are D.J. (Daphne José). That's why "intimates" often called me Deejay.)

    Good luck with searching and choosing!

    Thanks everyone for the replies!
    We're torn between Leena and Thessa (Thessa would be named after my grandpa).
    I'll start a new thread so maybe people can help us with this choice.

    What do you think of Tessa, Jesika, or the name Mikeela? Or Mariena? Good luck with your choice!

    Daphne is a beautiful name haha that's what I call:-)
    But I think they're all really beautiful actually quite difficult. I like that you want to include your grandma in it but that makes it even more difficult obviously. Go with your gut feeling girl!!
    Love Daphne

    Have you tried the baby name search tool on the site yet? You enter a few names you like, and it gives you a list of names that you’d probably also like. Really ideal, definitely a recommendation!
