Which do you prefer??! Help. Baby girl day 10 now. I leaned towards Soline, OH Iona, perhaps have to settle on Maeve?x

Which pronunciation of Iona? Eye-o-na or Yonna? The former is more well known.

I haven't encountered Soline before, how is it pronounced? Is the line bit pronounced like line, or leen?

Maeve is probably the most obvious pronunciation wise, unless you're outside of Wales and using the Scottish pronunciation of Iona.

How do you pronounce the O in Soline? Like dog or low?

Iona (unless your surname is a noun!)
I think Maeve is becoming increasingly popular.
Soline is different and I'm not sure I like it.
