This is our 2nd Baby Girl and we cannot agree on the name. The baby is now 2 weeks old and is still nameless!!!. We just can't seem to agree. Our 1st girl was lot easier as we both agreed from early on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kaya pronounced k-eye-a

VerBot · 24/01/2016 20:12

Nyla(h).

lljkk · 24/01/2016 19:52

Problem with Kia is the car name (and I happen to hate them).
Keesha is pretty.
I like Nyla, knew one about 30 yrs ago.

Sophronia · 24/01/2016 19:36

Neither. Kaia / Kaya would be nice though.

temporarilyjerry · 24/01/2016 18:50

I know a Kiyah, spelled Kaya. I'd go for that.

CrystalMcPistol · 24/01/2016 17:48
Hmm
almapudden · 24/01/2016 17:48

Neither, they're chavvy

CrystalMcPistol · 24/01/2016 17:36

Nyla is an actual name.

Borninthe60s · 24/01/2016 17:33

Neither

AuntieStella · 24/01/2016 17:32

Of the two, I'd go for Nylah (because I can see at least two ways to pronounce Kiyah, and I wouldn't want to be forever correcting people. But perhaps you re nicer and more patient than me).

LineyReborn · 24/01/2016 17:29

Kyla

Nula

Not Ki-Ora.

YakTriangle · 24/01/2016 17:27

Nylah written down looks like the noise someone might make whilst jeering and sticking their tongue out. How is Kiyah pronounced?

ProfGrammaticus · 24/01/2016 17:26

Choose an actual name, there are loads of lovely ones.

IoraRua · 24/01/2016 17:24

Nylah looks like nylon.
Kiyah....I just think Kia cars.

What about Kyra, Kayla, Lara, Cara, Sara, Maia, Lyra, Myra?

MamaLazarou · 24/01/2016 16:10

I don't like either of them, sorry.

How about Lila?

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 24/01/2016 15:47

Neither. Both awful.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 24/01/2016 15:38

Oh god neither
I suppose spelt Nyla and Kaya they might be ok but as they are - ick

WanderingTrolley1 · 24/01/2016 14:45

Neither. Are they made-up?

DanyellasDonkey · 24/01/2016 14:44

Don't like either and no idea how to pronounce them.

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 24/01/2016 14:40

I like Kiyah but I'd spell it Kiah (although there is then uncertainty as to whether it's key-ah or kye-ah?)

Finola1step · 24/01/2016 14:26

Nylah but spell it Nyla.

NHKX2 · 24/01/2016 14:25

I knew a Nylah growing up (she was my mother's friend). It's unusual but not super exciting. Not a fan of Kiyah at all...looks made up even if it is an actual name.

These might be along a similar line:
Nadia
Lydia
Kiera
Nora
Eleanor
Cara/Kara
Clara/Klara

LizzieMacQueen · 24/01/2016 14:04

I wouldn't be able to tell if the child was male or female - that was my first thought.

Pigwitch · 24/01/2016 14:03

I don't like either of them sorry.
