Not keen on any of them to be honest. Aurora, if I had to choose one.

Bellaposey · 22/07/2019 21:53

Luna is the only one I like I'm sorry. The others sound either unnecessarily fussy (Liliana) or I think would cause you problems with pronunciation.

SlimGin · 22/07/2019 21:55

Love: Ines, Anais, and Valentina. However I don't think Valentina could suit many girls.

Frith2013 · 22/07/2019 21:59

Liliana - no
-Savannah - no
-Ines - no
-Alaïa (ala-EE-ah) - sounds like yodelling
-Anais (an-I-is) - meh
-Aurora - ok
-Amalia (am-ah-lee-ah) - ok
-Amor — awful
-Valentina - ok
-Viviana - awful
-Luna

Love Liliana

MollyHuaCha · 22/07/2019 22:10

-Liliana - a bit fussy
-Savannah - same bracket as Chardonnay
-Ines - love this
-Alaïa - a lifetime of mis-pronunciation
-Anais - love this
-Aurora - ok
-Amalia - ok
-Amor - not ok
-Valentina - too frilly
-Viviana - again, too frilly
-Luna - I hear Loony

We are choosing Spanish names, we are having triplets and know that one is a boy (mateo) but we aren’t sure what the other two are, my mum is Spanish so some of these names are family names but others are ones we just like.

I like Liliana, Aurora, Amalia and Valentina.

Astronica · 23/07/2019 03:32

I like Anais, Aurora and Ines.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 23/07/2019 04:15

Spanish names! Mateo, Marianna, Marisol

Don't give a name that has to be phonetically spelled to pronounce properly. Poor kid will spend her whole life doing it.

Icklepup · 23/07/2019 04:42

Don't like any

gracepoolesrum · 23/07/2019 04:43

I like Ines, Viviana, Amor and Valentina. For a set I'd go Ines and Valentina or Amor and Valentina.

Lilyannarose · 23/07/2019 09:46

I think my favourite is Liliana.
Also really like Amalia but may need constant correcting if people misread as Amelia. Very pretty though.

Twisique · 23/07/2019 10:45

Ines is lovely!

Twisique · 23/07/2019 10:47

I would go with Ines and Liliana (Ana).

SoftBlocks · 23/07/2019 10:48

A sis or Ines. None of the others I’m afraid.

SoftBlocks · 23/07/2019 10:48

Sorry Anais.

TeaAddict235 · 23/07/2019 11:08

They are all lovely apart from Luna, which isn't a respectable/ sensible adult name.

You are probably realising op that on MN lots of people seem to gravitate towards boring English names like Catherine, Emily, Anna, Elizabeth and Charlotte and so will not like any deviation from the ideology of something wholly english. Choose your cultural name with pride and forget what others think (me included).

TatianaLarina · 23/07/2019 11:19

Inés
Anaïs
Aurora
Valentina

Lovely names OP.

userabcname · 23/07/2019 11:23

Love Anaïs and Viviana

anon812 · 23/07/2019 11:43

Honestly, I don't like any of them. If I had to pick, Valentina

anon812 · 23/07/2019 11:43

Also doesn't Luna mean moon in Spanish? She might be teased?

SleepingStandingUp · 23/07/2019 11:46

-Liliana - on my list
-Savannah - lovely
-Ines - meh
-Alaïa (ala-EE-ah) - if you need to do phonetics for pronunciation, then it's a no
-Anais (an-I-is) - see above
-Aurora - on my name list
-Amalia (am-ah-lee-ah) - not keen. Amaya is prettier
-Amor - no no no no no
-Valentin a - no and hate Val or Tina even more
-Vivian a - no
-Luna - realllly sweet, not on my list as my friend has one

Bobbiepin · 23/07/2019 11:50

Anais is typically pronounced Ah-nay is the UK so be prepared for that to be mistaken.

I would also look at Alaïa and think Ah-lie-yah (which is very pretty but not what you want). Liliana is pretty if you are ok with nn Lily.

Agree with PP if you need phonetics you're setting these girls up for a life time of mispronounciation.

FindaPenny · 23/07/2019 12:15

Liliana.... Its nice but more than likely will be shortened to lily

-Savannah..... Not keen

-Ines.... Will it be pronounced eye-nez or ee-nez.... I prefer the ee pronunciation, but still not keen
-Alaïa... Don't like it
-Ana is.... Don't like it
-Aurora..... A bit too fairytale
-Amalia.... Really don't like it
-Amor..... Really don't like it
-Valentina.... Like it, unusual and pretty
-Viviana.... Nice, but hate viv
-Luna.... Nice but very popular
