Hello,
I originally didn’t want to make a thread because I get confused. But I’m still confused so now need your help!

The backstory is that both me and my husband are of Italian origin and have moved to the UK.

We have a daughter who is 4 called Sofia.

We are expecting another daughter and like the name Giada. But we have realised it is not very compatible for the English tongue.

We are now inbetween Liliana and Camilla.

Which one?

(Also we know in Italian Camilla is pronounced cam-meel-la and in the UK it’s a difference pronunciation but we don’t mind that)

Also please no other name suggestions because it is between these two.

Thanks

Maria

I much prefer Camilla. Liliana sounds too fussy for my taste.

Liliana is beautiful!

Liliana, but then, I'm biased. My daughter is called Liliana

Camilla

I would assume you were Polish or Roumanian all the Lilianas I know are if that's an issue.

Camilla, love it.

Giada pronounced the Italian way is very similar the the water borne disease giardia is pronounced in English.
If you pronounce Camilla the Italian way you may find people have difficulty spelling it correctly — may attempt to spell it as it sounds.
Liliana should not present the same problem and is a very pretty name.
