I really like Eliana Rose
or Amalia

I used to wish my name was Anya, so I like that as well.

But I think they would all be lovely.

I like in no particular order:
Miriam, Maia (how are you going to pronounce this one - I know 3 Maia's who all pronouce it differently (My-a, etc), Evelina, Amalia, Eleanor, Eliana, Lily and Slyvia.

Don't like Stella - I think of the Woody Allen? line "STELLA" when I read/hear it - I think it was from God.

But with any of the names - if you want it said a particular way and not another be forewarned that teachers/etc don't always get it if that matters.

I like Lily especially teamed with Rose. I like Amalia second

Beth said...

so Irene - are you stealing the names of Daniel's weasels?

Irene said...

It's very possible :-) Right now Annika is leading, closely followed by Maia, Amalia, and Miriam. But I've changed my mind about several names that were near the top previously, and probably will a few more times. Also, I won't commit to a name until I get a chance to see her.

Beth said...

that's probably a very good idea.

How is Vlad's list changing?
