Who know a nice girls name!???
[name]Milan[/name] is my son, [name]Si[/name]”nna my daughter.
I’m Dutch and am curious about your ideas!!!
[name_u]Milan[/name_u] is a male name of south Slavic origin (Serbian (e.g. [name_u]Milan[/name_u] the [name_m]King[/name_m] of Serbia (1882–1889)), Croatian, Slovenian). At the beginning of the 20th century this name started to be used by Czechs and Slovaks (i.e. west Slavic nations who lived together with the above mentioned ones in the Austrian Empire). During the 20th century this name has almost replaced the ancient Miloslav (which has the same meaning) in the Czechlands and Slovakia. Nowadays the name [name_u]Milan[/name_u] is widespread in Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic (more than 2% of men are named [name_u]Milan[/name_u]) and Slovakia. It has no connection with the Latin name Aemilius etc. (which is [name_m]Emil[/name_m] in Slavic languages) or even the Italian city [name_u]Milan[/name_u] (whose name is derived from its Latin name Mediolanum (which means the town in the middle of plain)). Its only correct female form is [name_f]Milana[/name_f] (or [name_f]Milena[/name_f]). It is not only a custom, but it relates with the creation of words in Slavic languages. The female names have the extension ‘a’ ([name_u]Milan[/name_u] - [name_f]Milana[/name_f], Miloslav - Miloslava, [name_u]Jan[/name_u] - [name_f]Jana[/name_f] …). Compare that with the formation of Latin names ([name_m]Julius[/name_m] - [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_m]Gaius[/name_m] - [name_f]Gaia[/name_f], [name_m]Octavius[/name_m] - [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], …). The grammar of Slavic languages is complicated and very sensitive to genders, declension and conjugation (and it’s performed just by extensions). That in the recent times the name [name_u]Milan[/name_u] is used too for girls in the US, cannot change this fact (and for Europeans it is not imaginable to name their baby after the city). Please, use only the correct female version for girls, i.e. [name_f]Milana[/name_f] (and you can pronounce it as you want)! But the correct Slavic pronunciation is Mi-lan (Mi-la-na) with ‘i’ as ‘i’ in the word nick and ‘a’ as ‘u’ in the word bus, i.e. all syllables shortly.
@milans, the original poster said that her [name_m]SON[/name_m] is called [name_u]Milan[/name_u] and daughter is [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] and looking for a new girls name.
[name_u]Milan[/name_u] and [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] are really nice together, maybe you should carry on the [name_f]Italy[/name_f] city theme and use [name_f]Florence[/name_f]? If not, how about:
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
