I have 2 daughters whose names are M’kaela (nn Kaeli) and Alyza (nn [name]Aly[/name])
If we have a boy his name would be Beniah to match and we just love the name. However if we have a girl???
So here is my challenge to Nameberry fans. If we have another girl I would like to use the initials JDC just like mom and dads, but I also want a unique name to match the other two girls. Can you give me a small list(no more than 5 names) of girls First and Middle Names.
First name has to start with J an end in an -ah sound and Middle name has to start with D.
[and for all fairness I hate the name [name]Jessica[/name] and [name]Dawn[/name] or [name]Daniela[/name]. We’re also trying not to repeat initials M, K or A if you feel some other unique first name is just that good and would fit. I would be willing to hear it if it doesn’t start with J]
J______a D_______
[name]Janessa[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Jardena[/name] [name]Dominique[/name]
[name]Jeneva[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Johannah[/name] [name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Jorja[/name] [name]Damaris[/name]
Are you looking for truly unique names (Beniah) or unique spellings of popular names (like your girls’ names)?
My first idea was [name]Julia[/name], which I think is gorgeous, and fits quite well in the style of [name]Michaela[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] (which is how I assume your daughters’ names are pronounced?)–I can’t really think of an alternate spelling that “fits” with M’kaela and Alyza, but I do think it’s lovely and has a plethora of lovely nns (Juju, [name]Lia[/name], [name]Lili[/name], [name]Lulu[/name]!), or even [name]Julietta[/name], which would also have the added options of [name]Jet[/name], [name]Lettie[/name], and [name]Etta[/name]. Something like [name]Julia[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] or [name]Julietta[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] would be gorgeous, imo!
[name]Jada[/name] [name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name] [name]Darlene[/name]
[name]Jamila[/name] [name]Day[/name]
Jeovanna [name]Diane[/name]
[name]Jordana[/name] [name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Jacinda[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Josefina[/name] [name]Dulcie[/name]
My friends name is [name]Jacinta[/name] and i always thought it was lovely- its similar in sounding to the name of a purple flowing tree- [name]Jacaranda[/name]
[name]Jemma[/name] is another one- usual spelling is with a G but both work.
and [name]Jayda[/name]
[name]Jacinta[/name] [name]Danae[/name]
[name]Jemma[/name] [name]Day[/name]
[name]Jayda[/name] [name]Dru[/name]
[name]How[/name] about these?
[name]Justina[/name] [name]Dove[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name] [name]Devon[/name]
[name]Jacinta[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Jetta[/name] [name]Dagny[/name]
[name]Jamaica[/name] [name]Dee[/name]
[name]Jezebela[/name] [name]Denise[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name] [name]Diamond[/name]
[name]Jenna[/name] [name]Desiree[/name]
[name]Jayla[/name] [name]Denali[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name] is typically male, but I think a feminine middle name could cancel that out and make it cute for a girl. [name]Denali[/name] is also listed as a male name on this site, but I think it sounds pretty unisex. [name]Desiree[/name] is pronounced [name]DES[/name]-uh-ray.
Good luck!
Edited to add: Not sure if you’re looking to continue the theme of nicknames that end in the -ee sound…but if you are, the names above can be nicknamed [name]Jamie[/name], [name]Jessie[/name], [name]Jonie[/name], [name]Jenny[/name], and [name]Jaylee[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] you find what you’re looking for!
Some slightly off the beaten track suggestions:
Jadzia [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Jazmina[/name] [name]Dixie[/name]
[name]Juliska[/name] [name]Dale[/name]
Junissa [name]Dove[/name]
Jaina [name]Domino[/name]
So M’kaela is pronounced just like the common name [name]Mikayla[/name]. And Alyza is like [name]Aliza[/name] I guess. We try to make sure its has that very [name]Ah[/name] sound in the front instead of the ee sound. I do think the names [name]Julia[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] are very pretty but I thought it would be too common. We have had that problem with M’kaela there’s too many of them and her nn Kaeli doesn’t help either. Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll add a few of them to my list and see what my hubby thinks. If you have more keep’m coming. I haven’t seen one that really pops out yet.

Where does Beniah come from? [name]How[/name] is it pronounced?
Thanks for Jadzia how is that pronounced? I like the way it looks but not sure how it rolls off the tongue. I was thinking Jadzia [name]Denali[/name]? ?
And Beniah also spelled Benaiah is a biblical name and just like it looks [name]BEN[/name]-I-ah. He was one of [name]David[/name]'s might men only mentioned once. [name]Just[/name] waiting for the boy to use it. I can’t talk my husband into just naming a girl that. We love it so please don’t make it popular we are holding out for our boy. 
Beniah is very popular in the bible belt I’m surprised its not in nameberry data.
[name]Jaliyah[/name] [name]Denali[/name] - I like the flow, it feels very exotic. [name]Jaliyah[/name] seems quite similar in style to your daughters’ names. The meaning is debated, theories include Arabic for “lofty”, Arabic for “precious/valuable” and Hebrew for “ascent” or “God’s ascent.”
[name]Jerusha[/name] [name]Day[/name] - Bit of a wild card. [name]Jerusha[/name] is one of my favorite obscure Biblical names. I love the soft sound and the “inheritance” meaning. Spunky middle name [name]Day[/name] perks up the combo, as do nickname options [name]Jerri[/name] and [name]Rue[/name].
[name]Jaya[/name] [name]Delaney[/name] - Totally modern look, but this name has a long established history! Sanskrit, meaning “victorious”, [name]Jaya[/name] is the name of a fierce Hindu warrior goddess. Pro: great alternative to the popular [name]Maya[/name]/[name]Maia[/name]. [name]Con[/name]: [name]Jaya[/name] and Beniah could be a little rhyme-y, depending on how you pronounce them.
[name]Jalila[/name] [name]Dove[/name] - [name]Dove[/name] may not be exactly your taste, but I wanted something softer with luminous [name]Jalila[/name], and [name]Dove[/name] is a such a universal symbol of peace and hope. [name]Jalila[/name] is another name that can hang with today’s modern “made-up” favorites, and yet she’s an established Arabic name, all richness and beauty. I cannot get over the meaning: “illustrious.” Swoon!
Jahzara [name]Delise[/name] - Jahzara, according to modern sources, is an Ethiopian name meaning “blessed princess.” I couldn’t verify this with a source I consider highly reputable like behindthename.com, so take it with a grain of salt 
I’ve paired it with [name]Delise[/name], which is a Latin variant meaning “delight.”
Good luck on your naming journey!!
Sleepysessha thanks for the wonderful descriptions I love [name]Delise[/name] that’s been the hardest for me. Because I don’t like repeated names and D’s are so common. Its beautiful and I’m adding it to the list with a star. The J’s are very unique as well just not quite right for me.
