DH is Qatari, I am English. We are expecting our first baby girl, tbc on whether she will be raised mostly in Qatar or mostly in the UK.

We have narrowed down names to Zara, Maya and Leila.

We will be giving her an English middle name
(Either Elisabeth or Maria).

Which name is everyone's favourite? Any other ideas?

I like Zara best, DH really likes Maya and Leila.

Leila, it's a lovely name

Zara would have been my choice if I had a DG! They are all pretty names but prefer Zara and it's not often used.

Zara!

I can't say I like any of them, but I don't dislike them.

Zara seems very popular in the UK
Maya - it seems a bit current and might date. Least favourite
Leila - it's my favourite of the 3, but wouldn't it be 'Laila' (pron. Lyla) in Arabic? I don't like Layla.

I like all 3 names

I like Zara best too, followed by Leila.
Maya is OK but would be my last choice.
