We don't know what we're having yet as we want it to be a surprise. My husband is Polish and we would love a name that works here as well as in Poland and Germany, where my relatives are from.

This is our list:

Aniela (sounds like ahn-yell-a)
Malina (mah-lee-na)
Liliana
Lilia
Kalina (kah-lee-na)
Pola
Andżelika (we would be willing to spell this Angelica as it would be easier)
Jásmina (we might change this to Yasmina)
Apolonia
Kaja (we might spell this Kaya, pr. kah-ya)
Oliwia (only like the Polish/German pronunciation so might take this off the list)

Comments appreciated!

Ooh Apolonia and Aniela are more unusual/not like well-used English names (eg Lily has been very popular for a number of years).

I also like Agata

I really like Kalina and Apolonia

Aniela would be my choice, it's gorgeous. I've come across a few over the years and no one ever seems to struggle saying it although sometimes they struggle with the spelling but I wouldn't let that put you off.

Love Liliana, so nice & Lily will work well with both cultures? Favourite name is Sofia which might also work?
