Last one!! Sorry I know I’ve posted two threads already, I took all the advice given in the past comments on board, you were all so helpful! and now I’m considering these names, hoping that there won’t be any weird associations to these ones, let me know if they sound like anything odd. Also, which one sounds the nicest to you? Thanks!

Maheen: moon-like (radiant/ beautiful like the moon)
Mehreen: affectionate/ loving or bright like the sun. Mehr has two meanings, love & Sun

I prefer Mehreen. I don't think it would get mixed up with Maureen at all.

HelpMeHiveMind · 21/01/2022 15:12

I think both may get mistaken for Maureen by some people! Personally I like Mehreen better

Ha! Yes, I bet some people will mistake it for Maureen. Baby Maureen Grin

Another reason to go for Maheen.

Thank you! So glad that the feedback is a lot more positive this time :)
Does Mehreen look/ sound too similar to Maureen (people might get confused if it does).

I prefer Maheen. I prefer the oomph that the H gives it when you say it aloud.

Mehreen is nice too but might sound like marine? Not a particularly problematic word though.

I love Mehreen

I love Mehreen, so beautiful.

LouLouLou37 · 21/01/2022 14:43

I love the name Mehreen

TakeMe2Insanity · 21/01/2022 14:26

Both fantastic names. In my wider family they are sisters! Personally I prefer Mehreen f9r the meaning.
