Need some help with girls names.

[Hoodie]

We have finally got a short list of 2, and need some opinions to help decide. We want something a bit unusual, so what do you think?

Ailsa
Zena

Thanks

[SoupDragon]

I prefer Ailsa. Don't really like Zena (or Xena) at all.

[MrsBadger]

I prefer Ailsa too

Zena is just too wannabe-different/warrior-princessy for me

[mavornia]

Of the two I prefer Ailsa but I'm not dying about it (also makes me think of Alf Stewart's wife in Home and Away years ago...)

I prefer Isla or Alicia which have a similar feel - or Skye if you're going for an island theme

[hw2004]

Hmmm, think i prefer Ailsa but again i'm not mad about it. Like previous poster i prefer Isla which sounds sort of similar.

Ailsa

Thanks ladies, interesting as we were edging more towards Zena. Even more undecided now, umph

[nickeldime]

I think Xena is nicer, but to have it sound less 'warrior-princess-like', I'd prefer Xenia. There are some other forms here: Xenia girl name

[reethi96]

My mum is Zena.

[Anna8888]

I don't like either, I'm afraid.

[BroodyBroodyBroody]

Ailsa is the better of the two names IMO

[norkmaiden]

not keen on either sorry Hoodie

Zara is similar to Zena, but nicer imo?

[redinthehead]

Ailsa def the better one. Zena makes me think zany.

[Heated]

Not keen on either, sorry.

Prefer Elsa/Alissa tbh than Ailsa.

[AbbeyA]

I don't like either but Ailsa is the better of the two.

Hi Hoodie, what did you go for? My little girl is Zena. It's an Arabic name that means beautiful. I'm not limited by the trashy TV connotations as I tend not to watch it! There are many inspiring Zenas to look up to!

[horatia]

I like both, but prefer Zena.
