Please help me choose one of these names?

[EllenMaxx]

Hi, I'm persian and I want to choose a girl name that can be pronounced well and sound cute both in persian and other languages.

This is my list, so please help me choose one, or rate them, or tell me the worst ones. Thanks!

▪Tina

▪Hiva (Hee-va, like Eva)

▪Nila/Nyla/Nela (Nee-la)

▪Dina (Dee-na)

▪Kimia (Kim+Mia)

▪Mahya (kinda like Maya)

▪Mahsa

▪Laia (or Laya)

▪Nili (Nee-lee)

▪Nadia

▪Vida (Vee-da)

▪Shiva

▪Katayun (could be nicknamed Katie)

▪Sara

▪Nina

▪Nora

▪Farine (Fa-reen)

▪Ferial (Fe-ree-al)

▪Lea (Lee-uh)

I really like Kimia

▪Tina - old fashioned in a bad way
▪Hiva (Hee-va, like Eva) lifetime of misproninciation
▪Nila/Nyla/Nela (Nee-la) - like it but I'd def go with the e for the ee sound, otherwise it'll be pronounced Niy-la
▪Dina (Dee-na) meh
▪Kimia (Kim+Mia) cute
▪Mahya (kinda like Maya) lovely
▪Mahsa- nope
▪Laia (or Laya)nice, def Laia spelkinh
▪Nili (Nee-lee) no
▪Nadia meh
▪Vida (Vee-da) no
▪Shiva no
▪Katayun (could be nicknamed Katie) not sure on pronunciation but works esp with nn
▪Sara -fine
▪Nina meh
▪Nora old fashioned but lovely
▪Farine (Fa-reen)I like
▪Ferial (Fe-ree-al) nope,

▪Lea (Lee-uh)

Love Nela, Mahya or Nora.
I'd avoid Hiva (sounds like heefer and kids are bound to jump on that) and I'd avoid Mahsa - someone I used to work with was forever correcting people who called her Masha instead.

Kimia or Neela are gorgeous

Love Nila. Could be nn Nili. Also like Vida.

I’d avoid Farine - French for flour, Ferial is too close to English feral, and Hiva Brick is an old joke.

Nyla but pronounced n-eye-la

I really like a lot of those names. Neither dina nor Tina are to my taste (although I think Nina is beautiful!) and I think that ferial is too similar sounding to "for real". I also really like Shiva

Another one who loves nela!

Would avoid mahya because I know a maya and she says people are forever pronouncing and spelling it wrong and it's tiring to constantly correct!

I'm not Persian.
Tina - ok
Hiva (Hee-va, like Eva) - Heave for short?
Nila/Nyla/Nela (Nee-la) - nice but kneeler
Dina (Dee-na) - yes.
Kimia (Kim+Mia) - ok. nn Kim?
Mahya (kinda like Maya) - ok but don't like Maya
Mahsa - not for me
Laia (or Laya) - liar or layer?
Nili (Nee-lee) - no
Nadia - ok
Vida (Vee-da) - ok
Shiva - shiver
Katayun (could be nicknamed Katie) - ok
Sara- ok
Nina - yes
Nora - no
Farine (Fa-reen) - french for flour I think
Ferial (Fe-ree-al) - for real or feral?
Lea (Lee-uh) - It's pronounced Lee in the uk

I love Nora. Could also spell Norah.

I like Nina or Lea best

Nela is lovely

I like Lea a lot but in English it’s spelled Leah and Lea is pronounced Lee.
Shiva is a male Hindu god.

I like Nadia

Sara is lovely - ( pronounced as sa-ruh, I presume)
Dina would be my scond choice.

▪Tina - no, too eastenders for me.

▪Hiva (Hee-va, like Eva)- not for me.

▪Nila/Nyla/Nela (Nee-la) - I like this but spelt Nela she'd be forever called Ne-la as in the princess knight.

▪Dina (Dee-na)- not for me, first thought was Deena Lady off Gigglebiz

▪Kimia (Kim+Mia)- no

▪Mahya (kinda like Maya)- yes but there are loads of Maya's around

▪Mahsa- not for me.

▪Laia (or Laya)- love this and would suit a grown woman too.

▪Nili (Nee-lee)- not for me

▪Nadia- love it, timeless and suits into adulthood.

▪Vida (Vee-da)- not a fan.

▪Shiva- I like this.

▪Katayun (could be nicknamed Katie)- not a fan

▪Sara- love it! Also Saura?

▪Nina- love it

▪Nora- love it but prefer Sara and Nina

▪Farine (Fa-reen)- not a fan.

▪Ferial (Fe-ree-al)- no.

▪Lea (Lee-uh)- I like it.

Spanning cultures is really difficult so you may need to choose one you love & accept it’s not always going to be pronounced or spelled correctly.... but my views

▪Tina - sounds not great to me - what about Nina?

▪Hiva (Hee-va, like Eva) This sounds like an insult to me ‘she’s a heaver’ ‘She’s heaving’ (being sick) sorry !

▪Nila/Nyla/Nela (Nee-la) Really pretty name as long as you don’t mind not everyone succeeding with saying & spelling it right

▪Dina (Dee-na) quite nice although likely to be pronounced incorrectly

▪Kimia (Kim+Mia) not a fan

▪Mahya (kinda like Maya) Pretty name again if you don’t mind people not always getting it right

▪Mahsa - not a fan

▪Laia (or Laya) pronounced like Liar?

▪Nili (Nee-lee)

▪Nadia - ok

▪Vida (Vee-da) really nice

▪Shiva - ok

▪Katayun (could be nicknamed Katie) could be quite versatile

▪Sara - beautiful name in the top 100 so easy for people to say & spell - gorgeous classic

▪Nina - nice

▪Nora - really love this name

▪Farine (Fa-reen) don’t like

▪Ferial (Fe-ree-al) this sounds like feral so I really wouldn’t

▪Lea (Lee-uh) ok

Agree with heavier.

I know of lovely girl called Persia.

Kimia is gorgeous.

My best friend is Persian and lives in the UK, she used Sara for her daughter. I think that’s a good choice.

Nadia is the standout for me - lovely! I also like Katayun.

Love Nina!

Agree with PP to be aware than Farine means flour in french.

I love Laia!

My daughter is of Persian lineage so I gave her the middle name Soraya.

I don't really many from your list personally. If I had to pick one I'd go for Vida.
