What do you think of this girls name?

[Tuxmittens]

We are making a shortlist of names, our top girls name right now is Liliana Mabel Rose (Last name Gale). What do you think? How could it improve? We know its long, but I don't mind!

My other top pick was Valencia, but my partner hates it!

Pronounced lily-Anna or lily-arna?

I like it.

It's lovely

Still deciding. What do you prefer? I naturally think of it in my head as Lily-Arna...

It's absolutely beautiful OP !

Thats a good strong name i like it

I would say Lily-Arna too.

Liliana Gale is a good name.
The middle names being long are neither here nor there, as they will rarely see the light of day.

Valencia Gale sounds like high winds at a Spanish airport.

Where does the r come into it? Ana is just Anna isn’t it?

Anna isn't pronounced as Arna, though. 🤔

Right. 🤓

"The "Arna" Perception: In certain non-rhotic accents or casual speech, speakers hearing or producing an elongated or broad AH-nuh may add a slight vocalic glide or perceive an "r"-like quality in the open vowel, equating it to Arna. In many European and Scandinavian languages, the AH-nuh variant is the standard way to say Anna, which can sound distinct from the clipped English ANN-uh."

Liliana is lovely. If you want an Anna sound then spell it Lilianna.

I love it. Very pretty and the length is fine. I do prefer Anna to Arna though.

Maybe not technically, but i know plenty of people with such names pronounced 'arna'!

Lily Ahrna to me. I don’t mind it but you’ll get lily all the time.

Liliana (arna) was out first girls pick if we'd not have twin boys instead! alongside Ariella. The whole name is lovely op.

don't like Valencia

I like it. With the middle names it's got a sweet, vintage sort of feel.

The Lilyanna /Lilyahhna distinction will mostly depend on who is saying the name. Those with an accent that uses a short 'a' in the likes of 'bath' will say Anna. Those with a long 'a' will say 'ahhna'. So, if you're hoping for Lilyahhna you're likely buggered if you live in northern England or Scotland.

I'm sorry but the forst thing I think of is Lillets when I hear it.

What about Leonora?

I love Liliana. IME the main question about pronunciation is whether it is four syllables (lil-ee-AH-nah) or three (lil-YAH-nah). If you live somewhere with strong non-rhotic accents people may put an 'r' in it but that's the accent, not the pronunciation. (For me, that might be a strike against the name, but it's purely subjective.)

The middle names are OK; they probably won't be used much so just pick the ones you love and/or that have meaning to you.

I don’t think it matters too much how it’s pronounced because everyone will call her Lily or Lil.

I like the names separately, but not together. I think it's having 2 flower names.

Luckily we are in the south east!

Lovely

It’s a bit of a mouthful but middle names don’t matter so much, have you considered Lilith? Still different but in the realms of what you seem to like

We did consider it but my partner is not keen
