Lente or Mare

EmmaGuest ·
Hi there! Our second daughter is due in May. Which name do you like best? MARE or LENTE? Or maybe neither, which is also possible. Other options are welcome too. We'd like a summery/spring-like name, because of her birth month. This can be in terms of sound or meaning. Our big sister is Nieve, which we chose because of its wintery meaning, and she was born in January. So something in that vein. Hence Mare (of the sea) and Lente (obviously, spring season). Thanks! Best, Emma and Tibor.

    I think both look great with Nieve, but I think Lente is a bit nicer because N and M look so similar. Maybe Solveig is an option too? I think it's really beautiful!

    I think they're both lovely. Veerle, I thought maybe?

    Nieve and Lente are nice together.

    If you want spring to be a bit less visible, Vesna is also an option.

    Lente!
    Mare is terrible. Mitsen and maren. Nothing to maren. And Maren is a city.
    All so boring and negative. Lente is sweet and cheerful.

    Lente has been popular so far, thanks for your opinions!
    The full name would be:
    Lente Neveah Amée Nazarski
    or
    Mare Neveah Amée Nazarski
    (Nazarski = last name)
    What do you think?

    Lente is nice.
    Amee is nice if you write it as Aimee. The pronunciation is indeed Amee. But if you write it as Amee, it looks ugly and comes across as if you haven't thought about the spelling. It's a French name. Aimee is beautiful and chic.
    Neaveh; how is it pronounced?
    It's a Slavic name. Pronunciation: Niev-ja.

    But I don't find a nice name for the above reasons.
    Lente isn't my taste, but otherwise a great name. Looks nice with her big sister!

    I think Aimée is also beautiful, but then you should pronounce it as eh-mee. So if you want people to say a-mee, you should probably write Amée, I think I don't like Neveah so much, but I suspect that seeing the surname, you have (partly?) foreign origins?

    I do know Nevaeh, but it's basically the other way around; it's the reverse of "heaven."
