What would your choice be between these two names? ;D Oh and I'd like to add, she would grow up to look pretty foreigner-ish here. She's American-born-Chinese

Go with Mary then!

namechangeforthisposst · 04/11/2018 11:12

Hahaha yeah any name has connotations @OatsBeansBarley Mary's at school were constantly asked if they were Virgins

Malia, like Barack Obama’s daughter.

Much nicer than Melia.

MrsStrowman · 04/11/2018 12:50

@GoodJanet Malia, like the infamous 18-30s resort? ....

Mira, pron. Me-rah
Could be short for Miranda or Mirabelle.

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 04/11/2018 14:07

Milena?

RavenWings · 04/11/2018 16:01

Mira, no contest. As I said on the other thread Melia just blends into Amelia, which is dull as fuck.

LeeMiller · 04/11/2018 18:34

Mei and Mei-li are both much nicer than Melia or Mira (which aren't great in the UK for the reasons mentioned).

Other m names:
Melissa, May, Mirella, Mia, Maya, Mina, Minerva, Amelia, Emily, Mary, Mirabelle, Mabel, Maya.

Or if you like the meaning
of beauty/attractiveness then a name with the same meaning? Like Belle/bella...

Mila?

Ginger1982 · 04/11/2018 22:54

Mia?

Kokeshi123 · 05/11/2018 00:41

Mira. But I wouldn't pick either if I wanted a name that was unusual. I know neither name has lots of people called that, but both names sound very similar to a lot of names that are common at the moment, like Amelia, Amelie, Mia, Milly....

RebeccaWrongDaily · 05/11/2018 00:44

they both sound like the brand name of the IUD I have fitted.

percheron67 · 05/11/2018 01:23

Mira is a brand name for a shower.

Hisaishi · 05/11/2018 06:51

Mira means mummy (as in Egyptian mummy) in a few east Asian languages, not sure about in Chinese but we tried to avoid anything like that for our daughter.

chicagolil · 05/11/2018 06:58

Mela is a name.

Mira is a shower or too close to Myra Hindley
