Alira's sister needs a name

I found my daughter’s name on Nameberry when I was looking for a middle name to fit with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I found Alira [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and ended up dropping [name_f]Violet[/name_f] completely and using Alira [name_f]Jolene[/name_f]. I am 35 weeks pregnant with my second daughter. I can not find a name that I can commit to. I love how unique her name is and I want something that is out of the top 300. Names I love are [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f], [name_f]Camille[/name_f], Zylie, [name_f]Aziza[/name_f], and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]. I just don’t feel like any of these are her name. The pressure is really on because Alira was born at 36 weeks so I am feeling she will be here soon and I will end up settling for something I don’t feel connected to.

Alira is very pretty! [name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bijou[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Alira [name_f]Jolene[/name_f] is quite nice.

Here are my thoughts on your short/not too sure about list:

[name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]-This is not my style personally, but it’s sort of refreshing.

[name_f]Camille[/name_f]-This is nice. Smart & feminine. Well know enough, but not terribly over done.

Zylie-This seems a little out of left field. It seems sort of made-up, & way too cutesy.

[name_f]Aziza[/name_f]-This is really cool & unique. It’s a tad matchy w/Alira, but I wouldn’t let that stop you if you did love it.

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]-Same as above. But I like this more, because it’s a pretty flower name w/out being too frilly.

Suggestions:

[name_f]Aviva[/name_f]

[name_f]Anais[/name_f]

[name_f]Annis[/name_f]

[name_f]Anita[/name_f]

[name_f]Bronte[/name_f]

[name_f]Callista[/name_f]

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]

[name_f]Esme[/name_f]

[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u]

[name_f]Junia[/name_f]

[name_f]Katia[/name_f]

[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]

[name_u]Vida[/name_u]

[name_f]Zella[/name_f]

[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]

I love that [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] has been suggested a couple times. It has been on and off my list. I met a [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] that played a huge (but temporary) role in my life. She was so kind and absolutely adorable so it has such a positive association but the looks I get when I mentioned it as an option worries me that she would grow up not liking her name.

I also live [name_f]Esme[/name_f], I think it is beautiful and elegant but I’m not a huge fan of Twilight but worry that it would be the major association with the name.

I like the suggestion of [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] too because I like [name_f]Viv[/name_f] as a nickname but my name is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and I feel like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], Alira, and [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] are giving them different versions of my name if that makes sense.

I don’t think that [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. Especially if you go by [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. If you typically go by [name_f]Liv[/name_f], it may be a little matchy to have a daughter called [name_f]Viv[/name_f]. And for [name_f]Esme[/name_f], I totally forgot about the dumb Twilight thing. Is that still popular? I fell in love w/[name_f]Esme[/name_f] when I read it in a JD [name_m]Salinger[/name_m] short story while in college (before Twilight). That’s a more classic association, but honestly I don’t think a lot of people think much about either.
