I would like to name my future daughter after my grandmother who was very dear to me.
Any of the above names would honor her name with their spelling and/or meaning.
Middle name would be [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Adele[/name] or [name]Elinor[/name] depending on the first name.
My honest opinion is [name]Aya[/name]. I think it is a perfect vowel name, very flowy and the A beginning will mean a lot as she reaches the school years. [name]Aya[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] would be perfect for a little girl/young lady. [name]Zora[/name] seems a little bit harsh and [name]Faye[/name] is too plain. My honest opinion. Best wishes to you and your little one!
I think [name]Faye[/name] [name]Elinor[/name] or [name]Zora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] would be lovely. [name]Aya[/name] is a little too short for me. Some people may think that it’s [name]Maya[/name] with the m chopped off.
[name]Favorite[/name] is [name]Zora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]. [name]Love[/name] [name]Zora[/name]. [name]Zora[/name] [name]Neale[/name] Hurston- great namesake too.
I like [name]Faye[/name] [name]Elinor[/name] too, but it’s a bit fairylike…
[name]Aya[/name] is so airy. Also there’s the word ayah, meaning an [name]Indian[/name] nanny hired by a European family (like in The [name]Secret[/name] Garden)
Thanks for your feedback so far!! [name]Aya[/name] is my favorite of the three. Another name I’ve thought about is [name]Zia[/name]. Any thoughts on that one?
My favorite of your list are [name]Faye[/name] [name]Elinor[/name] and [name]Zora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]. (I think [name]Zia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] would work as well).
I’d also really like [name]Zipporah[/name] [name]Adele[/name].
[name]Faye[/name] is my decided favorite for the first name, and agree with other [name]Faye[/name] lovers that [name]Elinor[/name] works best with it in the middle.
I agree with [name]Pam[/name]-- [name]Faye[/name] [name]Elinor[/name] is a great name! My second favorite is [name]Zora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]-- although would you consider [name]Zora[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] or [name]Zora[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] (since they mean [name]Pearl[/name])?
I quite like [name]Aya[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Zora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]. [name]Faye[/name] [name]Elinor[/name] would be my third pick. Would you consider [name]Freya[/name] [name]Elinor[/name]? [name]Zia[/name] seems more like a nn.
