Afternoon All,

Our little one has finally arrived but we are stuck on a name for her and would love your thoughts on this one

Out of curiosity, what ethnicity comes to mind when you hear the name Ayana / Ayanna.

Netural. I know lots of Aya's and a few Yarna's.

Just an unusual name to me. Nice name, I like it.

I know an Aya she is Lebanese so I would think it has similar origins

Asian.
Id also wonder how to pronounce it.
Wouldn’t think of it as of particularly English origin

It would be pronounced Ay-yaa-nuh

I've never heard of it so would assume non-white.

I know a few. They are all from white British backgrounds.
