Matis
Lina and Kamile.

I like them but not fussed on the others sorry.

Chipsatsunset · 25/11/2023 23:18

I love all your girl choices. I think Moze I’ll be pronounced wrong and if you’re in the UK you/he will be correcting people a lot when they first meet him. On that basis I’d go with Matis.

what about Linas, Elijah, Fabius, Lukas, Darius.

Other girl ideas: Annike, Daina, Justina.

I don't like any of them maybe Mila at a push but then I think names are such a personal taste

SkaneTos · 25/11/2023 23:14

All those names are nice!
Lina is my favourite among the girl names.

I like the name Katya, I know a very nice woman from Ukraine with that name. She is in her 50's, I don't know how common it is among children nowadays.

Lovely names OP. I like Matis and Kamile. And Nina from your reply.

Also ignore the ignorant posters who can't fathom that not everyone here is English or wants to choose a plain English name.

OuiOuiMonAmiJeMappelleLafayette · 25/11/2023 23:00

Lina is lovely. Reminds me of a friend I had when I was 11. 30 years ago ish.

Maya is nice too.

ActDottie · 25/11/2023 22:56

Maya and Mila are ok.

The others are awful.

I really like Matis, Lina, and Mila.

I live in an area with a good few Baltic, Russian, Ukrainian, and Eastern European immigrants in the US so the names are not unfamiliar. I think the three I mention are appealing in an Anglophone society.

A touch too “out there” for my taste, but nice fresh sounds and ideas.

For a boy I would drop Moze and use either Matteo or Matthias.

For a girl I would do:
Camille as PP suggested (or Celine?)
Nina or Mina instead of Lina or Mila
If you like the unusual (nowadays) K beginning, I like Kerensa.

I do like Celine and Nina. Thank you.

Do you have Lithuanian heritage? I like Matis and Maya, but I thought Kamile was a boy's name, so slightly confused here.

Yes, I'm Lithuanian and DH is Russian and Ukrainian. Kamilė is a girls name. Thank you for your feedback.

Mila or Maya are nice…. The others are not to my taste.

Is Moze pronounced like ‘mosey on down’?

Swearwolf · 25/11/2023 22:43

I like Moze! I've only seen it spelt as Mose though.

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/11/2023 22:36

Oh jeez. Ok. Spell Matiz differently, like suggested upthread and it’s probably ok. Girls names are ok, but please don’t spell Camille with a -K.
Moze gives Balonz a run for its money..😉

Oh dear 🫣

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 25/11/2023 22:20

I’m not a fan of the boys names. I like Maya and Mila is okay.

Matis & Kamile

Mirrormeback · 25/11/2023 22:15

Maya is ok

Jessbow · 25/11/2023 22:14

All 'off the wall'
Maya & Kamile are best of the bunch, but please spell it Camille
