[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I currently have 3 names on my shortlist: [name_f]Livia[/name_f], [name_f]Yara[/name_f], and [name_f]Diana[/name_f]. I would love to hear your opinion: Which one do you like best? Which second names would go with them? Which names give a similar vibe?
Thanks! 
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] is sweet and bright and lively - though it might get muddled with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] if that’s popular where you are.
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] is distinctive, gorgeous, and international.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] is sharp and strong with a regal vibe. I do find it a bit harsh, however.
If I were to suggest middle names:
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] - [name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - [name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] - [name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Romy[/name_f] - [name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - [name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Celine[/name_f] - [name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - [name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] - [name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] - [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] - [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] - [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

I like all three. [name_f]Livia[/name_f] is vibrant and familiar; [name_f]Yara[/name_f] has a beautiful simplicity and lovely meanings; [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is glittery and strong! If I have to pick a favourite it is [name_f]Yara[/name_f].
Here’s some ideas for middles -
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Fallon[/name_f]
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Katrin[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
All lovely, my least favourite is [name_f]Livia[/name_f] because [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is sooo over used.
Of these I would probably choose [name_f]Yara[/name_f] but [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is nice too.

Ooh, I really like both [name_f]Yara[/name_f] and [name_f]Diana[/name_f]. [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is imo the ultimate feminist name - the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] counterpart to [name_f]Artemis[/name_f], goddess of childbirth, the wilderness, the hunt, the moon, protectress of women and girls. I love the sleekness of [name_f]Yara[/name_f].
I ultimately probably wouldn’t choose [name_f]Diana[/name_f] as a first because I wouldn’t want the nickname [name_f]Di[/name_f] which i find unattractive for obvious reasons. It would defs be a strong contender for a middle for me.
So I’m going to go with [name_f]Yara[/name_f].
For a middle, I’d probably go with something longer which doesn’t end in an -a. [name_f]Yara[/name_f] [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] was first to come to mind although admittedly the vowel running into a vowel doesn’t work the best. But something with a similar structure perhaps, I’m feeling an -ine or perhaps an -ette.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] is my favorite! It’s international, timeless, elegant and beautiful. [name_f]Diana[/name_f] has a magnificent meaning.
[name_f]My[/name_f] second favorite is [name_f]Livia[/name_f]. It’s a lovely alternative to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I adore the nicknames [name_f]Liv[/name_f] and [name_f]Via[/name_f].
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] is sweet and delicate. It has really nice meaning in Arabic and Tupi.
