[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! We are loving [name_f]Helena[/name_f] (Ha-laina) and [name_f]Priya[/name_f] (Pree-ya)! Which is your favorite? What are your favorite middle names for the 2 names? Thanks for your help!:smiley:

I like [name_f]Helena[/name_f] best, though I prefer hell-eh-nuh pronouciation.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] is my favourite - I think it’s stunningly beautiful.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

[name_m]Both[/name_m] are lovely names and I don’t think you can go wrong with either. That said, I prefer [name_f]Helena[/name_f]… to me, it’s the more classic choice.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

See, to me a middle name should bear some significance to the parents, so it’s hard to really give you suggestions. It should either have family significance, or honor a friend or inspiration person in your life… or an idea that’s important to you (religious, moral, lifestyle, etc). That’s my opinion…

I prefer [name_f]Helena[/name_f], though both names are pretty.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f]

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] is probably my favourite from the two, have you got any family names you would maybe like to use for a middle name?

[name_m]Both[/name_m] lovely names. I prefer [name_f]Helena[/name_f].

I adore [name_f]Priya[/name_f], but [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is on my short list, soooo I’m biased. :stuck_out_tongue: [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is very beautiful and elegant.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Priya[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

I also like [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Priya[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any [name_f]Indian[/name_f] heritage? Because if you don’t, using [name_f]Priya[/name_f] is going to be seen as cultural appropriation by a lot of people. [name_m]Just[/name_m] something to be aware of.

I do think it’s a lovely name, though, as is [name_f]Helena[/name_f].

Well, I’m leaning more toward [name_f]Helena[/name_f], it’s a bit more mainstream than [name_f]Priya[/name_f].
