Baby Names for My Daughter

I'm thinking of a first name of either Daphne or Aria. With the middle name Aurelia or Rosalia. But I couldn't choose from Daphne or Aria. Would it be too much if the name is Daphne Aria, or Aria Daphne?

Not at all they sound lovely.

AnyaMoondial · 04/06/2018 16:47

I love Daphne, it's a beautiful name. Aria is a good middle too.

bridgetreilly · 04/06/2018 17:37

I'm not a fan of Aria.

Daphne Aurelia would be my choice.

LadyPug · 04/06/2018 17:50

Another vote for Daphne Aurelia, sounds beautiful and not as overused

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 04/06/2018 17:50

I think Daphne is a beautiful name. Not keen at all on Aria to be honest.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/06/2018 18:18

Daphne Aurelia is very nice.

MikeUniformMike · 04/06/2018 18:27

I like Rosalind but not Rosalia. Is it Ros-Ahl-ya?
I don't much like Aria. It's on here a lot and is probably going to be very popular for a few years then be dated. It will have pronunciation issues - Ahr-ya Ar-ee-ah Ahr-ee-a.
Daphne's nice. I also like Hebe.

LastNightsMakeUp · 04/06/2018 18:37

I really like Daphne Aurelia - it has a beautiful ring to it

Sophronia · 04/06/2018 19:22

Daphne Aurelia is lovely. Not keen on Aria.

DarthArts · 04/06/2018 19:37

Another vote for Daphne Aurelia

Jj2431 · 04/06/2018 19:59

Daphne Rosalia

HairyToity · 04/06/2018 20:19

I love Aria.

TatianaLarina · 04/06/2018 20:35

Daphne is a sort of joke name. Remiscient of jolly hockey sticks and thick glasses.

Aurelia is lovely. Aria’s ok - better than Daphne. I prefer Rosalie to Rosalia.

Patal · 04/06/2018 22:40

Aria Daphne is lovely

OakIsBetterTho · 04/06/2018 22:43

Daphne Aurelia is a beautiful name 😍

Jammycustard · 04/06/2018 22:44

Daphne is nicest. Not getting the current love for Aria. I guess it’s the. Extra step along from Eve/Ada etc.

I second this, Daphne is so dated and sounds very nasally (not nice).

Aria on the other hand sounds very pretty and elegant. Plus, Aria Rosalia sounds lovely. You could also go for longer versions such as Azaria or Ariana. :)

Aria doesn't sound good to my ears. Aurelia is nice, prefer it to Daphne.

bixquert · 05/06/2018 07:58

Aria is a very ‘of the moment’ name and will date badly. I would use it as a middle name but not a first.

Daphne Aria gets my vote (or Daphne Rosalie)

I know a older Daphne when I was a child, so she would be in her 50's now. They used to call her Daft and Dafty which doesn't sound nice at all. Always sound like she was being made fun of.
