HELP! Second name for our girl?!

Hi everyone,

My husband is Turkish and I'm Dutch/Italian, and we've finally settled on a first name for our daughter. Now we're both overthinking the middle name. Our mothers are being named as the 3rd/4th name, just for the sake of it.

So we really want to use the middle name. Her name will be NIYA (pronounced: Nieja)

Option 1 is: NIYA DUA

What do you all think about this?

Do you have any ideas, suggestions for a middle name? Preferably NOT names like Sophie, Anne, Marie etc. Lou, Lynn and Liv, Luna, Mae, Lina, Liva, Sara.. these don't fit us

Thanks in advance for your help! X

    Not that there's anything wrong with it. I just think it's a bit hard to pronounce, not easy to say.
    Maybe: Niya Abi, Niya Elvan, Niya Luan.

    I think it sounds nice like that. Congratulations! And if not:
    Niya Nori
    Niya Sua
    Niya Loa
    Niya Bowie
    Niya Lea
    Niya Febe
    Niya Thirza
    Niya Safa
    Niya Loua

    I like Niya, Dua is a bit weird, it seems too much like duo to me and I don't know it as a name anyway.
    Why have an extra name besides the mother's? (Just curious).

    Because it's not my choice to name the mothers. That's what my partner wants, so if we name after his mother, my mother can't be left out. So she'll be Niya, and then his mother gets the second name. I want a middle name that's hers, personal. Then the two mothers,

    Aha. I already saw Niya as a first name.
    Maybe
    Niya Anissa
    Niya Aïcha
