Hi everyone! I'm Jette, together with Frank, and we're expecting our first baby in April. These four names are currently on our shortlist. Which one do you think is the prettiest?

Pronunciation:
Gaia/Chaja: which sounds better, Ghaa-jaa or Gaa-jaa, with or without a hard G...
Mara: Maa-raa
Juna: Juu-naa
Lune: Luu-ne or Loe-ne, we both like that!

The middle name will be Elizabeth, and the last name will be Versteegh.

Thanks for the help!

    Except for Gaia, I like them all.
    Is Chava still an option for you? (Pronounced gaa-vaa)

    I like both Mara and Juna!
    Juna just a little bit more!

    Lune: I think the pronunciation "Luune" sounds better than "Loene". But actually, I think Luna (pronounced luuna, not loena) sounds even nicer.

    And Gaia/Chaja, I find that name a bit less appealing. Maybe because the name isn't so familiar to me. I guess I find Gaia nicer.

    I really like Mara, Juna, and Lune.
    Lune pronounced as Luune.
    Out of these three names, I’d go with Mara.
    Mara Elizabeth Versteeg sounds the most beautiful to me.
    Gaia isn’t really my taste.

    Thanks for your replies! Good to know that Gaia isn't very well received, but the other three are. We'll think about it for a bit!

    All are nice, but Mara is the cutest. I also think Mare is cool!

    Gaia is super cute! But that's also at the top of my name list?? That's how I ended up on the forum too.

    I like the name Lune (pronounced with a long 'u'.
