My hubby and I are having a hard time choosing a name for our baby girl. He loves [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] and wants to call her kiki, which is a nickname that I don’t care for. I love [name_f]Amara[/name_f] but he thinks it is not a very pretty name. I am wondering what people think about these two names? We are thinking [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]? Are these boring? Which one seems more classy? We have been unable to find any other names that we both like. I tend to like more exotic and unusual names. He likes more traditional names and ([name_f]Kiara[/name_f] was a stretch for him) but I am not in love with it. I have african roots and he has slavic roots. Open to other suggestions? Thank you so much!
I personally prefer [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]. If you don’t like the nickname [name_f]Kiki[/name_f], maybe that could just be his special nickname for her. [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] and [name_f]Amara[/name_f] have the same ending, so maybe you could come to an agreement about another -ara or -ra name, such as [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Astra[/name_f], [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f], Inara, Magara, [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Elora[/name_f], [name_u]Sierra[/name_u], or even just [name_u]Ara[/name_u].
I much prefer [name_f]Amara[/name_f].
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] sounds more elegant to me but I find both [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] overused as middles, and kind of boring
Like a pp said you dont have to call her [name_f]Kiki[/name_f] just because he does, and another -ara name could be good
You could also use another nickname like [name_f]Kia[/name_f], [name_u]Ira[/name_u] etc
Both are pretty names, but I like [name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] the most.
The middle names are a little boring because they are common, but they are not bad names. You should use them if you like them.
You might like [name_f]Liana[/name_f]. It has a similar flow to [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] and [name_f]Amara[/name_f], but it feels more traditional to me which might appeal to your husband
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is lovely! It definitely has an elegant vibe.
Ugh, this is imposible! I love both [name_f]Amara[/name_f] and [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] very much. They’re both so pretty!
Some suggestions (most of these will be Slavic, since I’m Slavic as well):
[name_f]Iva[/name_f] -> this is pronounced like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and is apparently a variation of [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] -> mee-lah
[name_f]Teodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Uma[/name_f]
[name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
Good luck and congrats!
Thanks for your response. I was thinking maybe we could try another name all together since neither of these two are working for both of us. I love, love, love [name_f]Zara[/name_f]! I suggested it before but he wasn’t on board. I will try some of your other suggestions.
I do love both [name_f]Amara[/name_f] and [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] too! I prefer [name_f]Amara[/name_f] just by a little bit. They are both beautiful.
Some similar suggestions I thought of that I don’t think have been suggested- [name_f]Kira[/name_f] (ky rah) and [name_f]Aria[/name_f]. Maybe [name_f]Elora[/name_f] or [name_f]Elara[/name_f]?
I do think [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is lovely too. Best of luck!
I also love the slavic suggestions. In particular [name_f]Lia[/name_f]. We have an older boy named [name_f]Sai[/name_f] and I think [name_f]Sai[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f] would sound nice together. Although may look funny together now that I see them written out?
I love [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]! So gorgeous. I think she could have a lot of different nicknames other than [name_f]Kiki[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Kia[/name_f] or K ([name_u]Kay[/name_u])? I like [name_f]Amara[/name_f] too, both are solid choices. Also love [name_f]Lia[/name_f]!
What about [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]? From the names you’ve mentioned I like [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and [name_f]Lia[/name_f] best.
