Taking myself away from current terrible situation, which name is your favourite, I am leaning towards to Amara it means grace I'm my language. Alexandra whilst a lovely name means defender of men which I may be childish but not too keen on men right now.

Yes I just checked it's apparently a derivative of Mary so also means bitter. I guess it means different things in different languages.

Amara Christina is beautiful.

Alexandra is the nicest of the names you have chosen but none are terrible!

Amara is my favourite and Amara Christina is lovely

The only Amara I know is a boy.

Amara Christina is super pretty, love that.
Would you use a nickname, like Mara, Marie, Mary or Amy?

I wouldn't let the Italian meaning put you off! A quick google told me it means comfort in Mongolian- also positive. That said I don't think name meanings matter all that much.

My favourites are Amara and Salome they are both lovely.

I wouldn't personally use Amara Alexandra, Amara Christina is nicer and as Christina is your grandmother's name it has an extra meaning to it.

Good selection of names OP!

Have them all, as in the thread title. My heart was strangely warmed when I saw it.

Alexander means defender of mankind.

So in my book that means Alexandra means defender of womankind.

I like Amara, Alexandra and Grace
