What do you think of the girls name Nahla?

[AlphaBeta82]

It's an arabic name and we are not arabic at all but I do like the name. Others thoughts?

Lion King

I know 2 dogs called nahla.

Its a no from me.

I love it. I first heard it in the lion king and would have loved to use it for one of my girls but dh was set on very normal names.

Our DS has a very unusual name (but not weird) so we need something to go with it, if baby was a girl that is!!

Also thought of the Lion King.

AlphaBeta82 - what is your DS' name or what other names have you picked out for this baby?

Alan backwards! And the lion king. But it's pretty :)

DS is called Iden

For a boy we like Quinlan nn. Quinn (that is literally the only one we both like!)
Girl - Elodie or as suggested Nahla

P.S. also like Ayra but wonder if it is too close to Iden???

Iden is eye-den?? Or ih-den?? Ayra to rhyme with Myra? I like Quinn

Nahla is a great Arabic name and so is, my personal favourite: Asiya!

Iden is eye-den, yes and Ayra to rhyme with Myra. i think we are sorted if it is a boy as both dh and I like quinlan (quinn)

It sounds very pretty to me!

Lion King

Lion King.

LOVE it. Would defo use it if we didn't have a Noah!

Elodie is very pretty.

Iden & Ayra/Eira sound too alike. Ira is also used as a boys' name.

I find these lists very useful to browse for inspiration.

It's Nala in the Lion King,to be pedantic about it.

Nahla is lovely. I wouldn't worry so much about the Disney references. Arielle,Aurora and Belle are all fairly popular despite their Disney credentials.

like it!

I know a little girl called Quinn, it's not a name I'd have thought of for a girl but she's adorable and it really suits her.

I hear the name and think of Halle Berry lol but nice name. I have never heard of Iden but sounds lovely and goes fab with Nahla.

Iden and Quinlan together looks as if you wanted to call your DS Aiden but spelled Aiden with a cockney accent. Quinlan is too Oirish.

Nahla is nice, as is Ayra. But I would go back to the drawing board for another boy's name.

I can assure you mathanxiety that Iden was a very well choosen name for very specific reasons which related to our our family not a cockney mistake!

I like Nahla ... also like Nuala and Nola

Hmm... No. Too "Lion King".
