Ok I promise this will be last thread on this 🙈 we have now narrowed down our girls list to Alina and Adriana. I like both but appreciate they are not the most commonly used names so wondered what people’s thoughts were on both. Any associations? Anything I might be missing? I have European background so they work in that respect. Thank you !

I much prefer Alina.

Adriana is very harsh to my ears.

Alina

i like Alina but it is popular. i know lots of Asian and Polish girls called Alina. Beautiful name though.
I prefer Adriana myself.

Alina! It's beautiful.

100% Alina.

Alina, not keen on Adriana, sorry

TeeBee · 06/06/2018 09:11

Alina. Adriana reminds me of Rocky.

Flamingosnbears · 06/06/2018 09:15

Adriana for me but I do prefer Adrienne.

Yayy I’m so glad people like Alina as this was my preferred one too! Struggling a bit for a middle name for it though, our surname is 4 letters and starts with A (rhymes with Ashton) and I actually like alliteration but I’m finding it difficult to come up with a nice sounding middle name. I think it should be either one syllable (like Grace, although I don’t like that particular one) or 3+ syllables but can’t find anything suitable. Any suggestions welcome! Really wanted to use Sofia as a middle name but not sure it works..

Do you recycle your food waste? I only ask because Alina is the name of the leading brand of compostable
Paper Bin liners. Alina bin bags

It’s quite a niche product so I’m sure it’s fine, but it’s the first thing I thought of when I read it. Sorry!

I think both are nice enough, so go for Alina if that's your favourite. I actually quite like the sound of Alina Sofia too, but some other middle name options could be:

Alina Dawn
Alina Belle
Alina Joyce
Alina Jean
Alina Fleur
Alina Kate
Alina Caroline
Alina Katharine
Alina Gabriella
Alina Penelope
Alina Madeleine

SquidgyMcPidgy · 06/06/2018 10:39

Oh I like some of those! Thank you!
So far it’s
Alina Isabel
Alina Florence
Alina May
Alina Rose
Alina Scarlett
Alina Sofia (possibly)
