Please help me decide on a name! I think I have gotten to the point where I have looked at so many baby names I am beginning to overthink them all!

Please help me decide!

Lumi - meaning snow in Finnish, I do love this name and baby is due in dec so the meaning fits well but research suggests it also means prostitute in Spanish :/ also the name of a nappy brand - Pampers.Would they get called loony argh!

Rumi - japanese meaning beauty, flow, lapis lazuli.

I love this name and I actually think it sounds nicer than Lumi, but people just say it as in roomy. I hear it differently I guess, short, fresh, cute.

Remi - also nice but a little too common for me.

Enya - meaning little fire - many people associate with the singer.

Romy - not mad on the meaning.

Aiya?

Kiana?

Or suggestions with names similar to the above?

Thanks

Definitely, connotations can be made for all names, you just have to look for them.

Kiana I think is lovely but I am still leaning towards Lumi or Rumi - Enya or at the rate I'm going the baby with no name!

She’s 11 and it’s a good mix of unusual but not too out there. Only know of one other locally but fits in due to other similar sounding popular names.

How about Romiley?

ikeakia · 18/12/2019 14:25

I have a Kiana!

I think you'll be able to find a "bad" connotation about literally any name.

No one goes on about Willy for William or whatever. And that's way more obvious than the tenuous connections people are mentioning here

I've just looked it up, that's the worst connotation I've heard yet aha! Rheumy eyes

Rumi makes me think of rheumy eyes

diddlediddle · 18/12/2019 13:26

Rumi is lovely! Lovely meaning, sounds fresh. Really like it. Definitely the best option.

SyntheticPumpkin · 18/12/2019 13:15

I like Rumi, although would probably go for Rumer and use Rumi as a nickname.

Eira (means ‘snow’ in Welsh), Ayala or Ayla as alternatives?

ilovemykids5 · 18/12/2019 13:08

I like Lumi and kiana
How about romily?

LochJessMonster · 18/12/2019 11:55

I like Lumi, Rumi, Enya and Romy. My favourite for you is the lovely Lumi with its sweet sounds and meaning.

FleetwoodMacMummy · 18/12/2019 11:34

For my personal taste my favourite from your list is definitely Enya or possibly Romy. I'm really not too keen on Lumi and Rumi.

Are you looking for a girls or boys name , not heard of most of the names you’ve listed so don’t want to presume
