Hello

My partner is Turkish and I am Welsh, I am currently pregnant with our daughter, my partner desperately wants her to have a Turkish name - he has suggested ‘Dilara’ - the meaning is pretty but will inevitably be shortened to ‘Lara’ over here…

What does everyone think?

I think Dilara is lovely and I also love Lara. I don't know any other Turkish female names (I only seem to know Turkish men!). Are there any other names you like? I'll have a Google.

Give your daughter your surname.

I think that's a beautiful name and I'd have happily gone with it for my daughter in your circumstances.
Although I'd have probably shortened it to Dil and then ended up nicknaming her Pickle but our family is a bit odd like that.

Shortened by whom? If that happens, repeat her name each, and every time. They will soon get the message.
