Myra/Mira, Maya or Ava

Janouk en GielGuest ·
We're expecting our first baby girl. We'd like a name that sounds good in the Netherlands, but also works well abroad (e.g., in English). We currently have three names on our list: Myra/Mira, Maya, and Ava. Which one do you like best? Other suggestions are also welcome. Thanks so much! Best, Janouk and Giel.

    I think Myra/Mira and Ava are the prettiest. Maya isn't bad either, but as a mom, I'd think of Maya the Bee. I feel Myra/Mira is more timeless, while Ava feels more trendy. Ava is a bit cooler (especially when pronounced in Dutch), while Mira/Myra feels softer. I'd go with the spelling Myra, I think that's more common outside the Netherlands.

    A bit earlier than expected, our beautiful, healthy daughter was born on October 29. She bears the name:
    Myra Lieze Solveig
