Bosnian girls name that work in English?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! My bf and I are thinking about having a baby soon. And since we both have a son already wed love a girl as our first together. And naturally we have already started talking names. Language and culture differences make finding a name we both like kinda hard. We’r open to American/international names as a first name but since we both wish to honor his culture I’m stuck! I can’t finde a Bosnian girls name is like. I was all over the Croatian name mirela but turns out it means mother in law? In Bosnian so that was a no go :stuck_out_tongue: any ideas ladies? Also open for boys options if you got em :wink: the future older brothers are [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and [name_m]Elmir[/name_m], last one has a Bosnian name, it doesn’t need to match tho…

I’m not very familiar with Bosnian names, but I did find this list on Behind the Name.

Some suggestions:
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
Almina
Amela
[name_f]Amina[/name_f]
Azra
[name_f]Emina[/name_f]
Ilhana
[name_f]Iman[/name_f]
[name_f]Melina[/name_f]
Minela (it’s quite close to Mirela)

I also like Lamija, Lejla and Sumeja, but they’d probably be best spelled with a Y instead of a J in an English-speaking country.

I’m borrowing from the same list. :slight_smile: I found these which seem pretty usable in the US (and also gorgeous!):

[name_f]Sara[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Esma[/name_f]
[name_f]Amina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f] (although [name_f]Ana[/name_f] and [name_f]Mia[/name_f] don’t feel distinctively Bosnian, they still could definitely work!)
[name_f]Iva[/name_f] (I assume how most Americans say [name_f]Eva[/name_f]–EE-vah)
Lucija (probably said like [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], I would assume?)
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
Azra
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Matea[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadja[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
Hena
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]

I especially love [name_f]Sara[/name_f], [name_f]Esma[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f]/[name_f]Iva[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]/[name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Lorena[/name_f], Lucija, and Azra!

Good luck!
