Interesting middle name for Kiana?

Name Advice
1

Helloooo!

[name_f][/name_f]

We are in need of dire help! [name_m]Baby[/name_m] girl will be here in a couple weeks and we still haven’t found her perfect middle name. We are an [name_f]English[/name_f] and Spanish speaking household and need a name that could work in both cultures!

[name_f][/name_f]

We already have an [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Lumira, which we all call her [name_f]Lumi[/name_f]. We want to follow the same pattern and think w have decided on [name_f]Kiana[/name_f] for first name but no middle name with cute nickname.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] two top choices I can’t go with :frowning:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- don’t like the Celi or [name_f]Este[/name_f] as nickname

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- love [name_f]Esme[/name_f] as a nickname but name already taken by family

[name_f][/name_f]

I want something as special as Lumira “Lumi”

[name_f][/name_f]

Please help!!

[name_f]Cece[/name_f] or [name_f]Letti[/name_f] could be a nickname for [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] as well…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eve[/name_f] / [name_f]Evie[/name_f] /Angie/Jill/Lina
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Julie[/name_f] / [name_m]Jules[/name_m] / [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] / [name_m]Jet[/name_m]

[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is pretty! Maybe [name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kacie[/name_f] (KC), [name_f]Kezzie[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Kiki[/name_f], or [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is bold and brilliant [name_f][/name_f]- maybe nn [name_f]Kezzie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmy[/name_f], [name_f]Alda[/name_f], [name_f]Keedie[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f]

Maybe a different nickname for [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Meri[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Mira[/name_f] (I know it means “look,” but people also name girls [name_f]Mia[/name_f], which means “mine” and [name_f]Luna[/name_f], which means “moon.” So it wouldn’t be all that unusual.)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Mila[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Sera[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Reese[/name_f] (a bit stretchier, but the letters are there)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Alma[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

That way you could still use [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f].

[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] Lumira “Lumi” is so lovely!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] would be gorgeous, but I think there’s other nn options for [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] besides Celi or [name_f]Este[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Cece[/name_f] would be my first thought (and [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] and [name_f]Cece[/name_f] is so cute!), but there’s also [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], Tess/Tessie/Tessa?

[name_f][/name_f]

Here’s a few other ideas:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] Arabella/Arabela
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Luz[/name_f] (I knew a [name_f]Luz[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] which I always found so sweet)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Camila[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Cami[/name_f] or [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or even [name_f]Calla[/name_f] would be adorable)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] Dalia/Dahlia
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Noemi[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Florentina[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Julieta[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Estela[/name_f] (Stella is super sweet with Lumi!)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] (maybe nn Izzy/Issy or Rissy or Irie?)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Jacinda[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Mireia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Rosina[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] (not sure [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] is that interesting, but I think the nns Tess/Tessa/Tessie and even [name_f]Reese[/name_f] are super sweet, or even Resa/Reza?)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] (love the nn option of [name_f]Vera[/name_f] here)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Kiana[/name_f] [name_f]Violeta[/name_f] (love the nn option of [name_f]Lola[/name_f] here; though I know [name_f]Viola[/name_f] means something not great in Spanish, so I’m not sure how you would feel about [name_f]Violeta[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] I think [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] or [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] are sweet here though)
