4th girl name

I give birth to my 4th baby girl last week. All the others were named within a week but we just cant seem to get our heads rounds a name for this one! I have a Mya, Alicia and Isla at home and my DH loves the name Layla but i think it is a bit too similar to Isla? We both like the 'a' ending and I'd like to avoid children with the same initials. The one thing we have decided on is the middle name which will be Charlotte so we aren't looking for anything too long for a first name. I'd love something quite unusual but not spelled to differently that would be difficult for anyone to pronounce...Suggestions welcome!

Freya sprang to mind

Clara would also be good

Safia
Eva
Esther (which I know doesn't technically have an 'a' at the end but kind of sounds like it does).

Freya was the first name that I thought of too! Grin

MyBigFatGreekYoghurt · 09/02/2016 13:33

Is it A-LISS-ia or A-LEESH-a?

I think I agree that Layla and Isla are too similar.

How about:
Bella, Bianca, Cassia, Dana, Delia, Elina, Erica, Joanna, Julia, Kezia, Lara, Lola, Livia, Nia, Nadia, Nina, Olivia, Pippa, Rhianna, Rosa, Sara, Sofia, Saskia, Sienna, Thea, Una, Viola, Wanda, Xenia, Zara, Zia
