Zaira :)

MinaPaws · 14/10/2018 17:11

Love Zaira, next Amira. Less keen on Lamaisah

Bobbybobbins · 14/10/2018 17:13

Like Amira best!

Oysterbabe · 14/10/2018 17:30

I like Amira. Lamaisah sounds like nipple cream.

Karachii · 14/10/2018 17:44

Zaria or Amira. Lovely namesSmile

NotANotMan · 14/10/2018 17:45

Zaira, nice and strong

SoupDragon · 14/10/2018 17:47

Zaira and Amira are both lovely, I’m not keen on Lamaisah

AliceRR · 14/10/2018 17:49

I work with an Amarah and I think that’s lovely. Amira reminds me of that.

Normandy144 · 14/10/2018 17:50

Prefer Zaira and then Amira. I've not heard of Lamaisah and am not sure how it should be pronounced. I'm guessing it is La-May-Suh and if so then not keen.

gigira · 14/10/2018 17:51

We would pronounce it la-my-sah.

Think zaira is my fave too.

Is Maisa also an option? I used to know a Maisa....

Amira is a good one as it's fairly obvious how to spell/pronounce it Grin also, might you like Lamia?

TallulahBetty · 14/10/2018 17:52

All nice but yes Lamaisah definitely reminds me of Lansinoh Grin

Glumglowworm · 14/10/2018 18:13

Amira is lovely

gigira · 14/10/2018 18:19

Maisa is lovely 😍

Amira is really pretty but Zaira is gorgeous!

Cottonia · 14/10/2018 19:17

I love Zaira - it’s like Zara, so not a completely unknown equarion, only a little more unusual and glamorous!

Amira is also beautiful.

I’m not so keen on Lamaisah, and I imagine she’d constantly be having to correct people on the pronunciation!

Shadow1234 · 14/10/2018 20:27

Amira - lovely name

LeeMiller · 14/10/2018 20:34

Amira is lovely. Zaira is nice.

I also think nipple cream when I see Lamaisah.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 14/10/2018 20:37

Zaria is my fave.
Have you considered Cyra too?

Sophronia · 14/10/2018 21:26

Zaira

Sungura · 15/10/2018 02:34

Zaira.

Argeles · 15/10/2018 02:45

Lamaisah is absolutely gorgeous. Amira is lovely too.

Argeles · 15/10/2018 02:56

I don’t get the Lamaisah and Lansinoh connection mentioned on here, I would’ve never thought of that.

If you like the name, go for it. I think it’s stunning.

Since I’ve had children, I’m amazed at how forthright, and sometimes a little immature people can be about names. When we told my family our second Daughter’s middle name, a close family member laughed and said, ‘you’re not serious are you, it sounds like a bloody chemical!’ Yes, I am serious, it’s on her birth certificate, so get over it!
