"Dazli" name for baby girl?

Hello all,

My husband and I are struggling to find a name for our baby girl.
We live in the UK, I am Brazilian and he is Colombian. We want something short, different and that can be pronounced in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yesterday I was watching a movie and the word Dazzling called my attention. So I made up the name "**Dazli".
Apparently it doesn't exist. And it ticks all the boxes.

What do you think of this name?
Please help in case I am missing some weird correlation to the name in English.

Thanks

I know a woman called Helena who has a Portugese background, but I've never come across Halen. How would it be pronounced?

I knew a Nazli too, pretty name. Any good seeing as it's close to your original idea?

No to Nazli. It's too close to Nazi.

I think you are very sensible to ask on here as some names just don't work across different cultures. I like Lara and love Paola.

DH is Portuguese, says he's never heard of Halen, only Helen or Helena. He said it sounds like unique spelling of Helen. It is pronounced 'alen or 'elen. Why not just call her Helen?

Not a fan. There's a stigma faced by people with made up names. Its not fair, but to be honest, if I had a pile of Resumes, and one of them said 'Dazli' ... I would probably favour other applicants, subconsciously or otherwise.

I love Paola
