Aliona?

[Justanothermum1510]

I’m still early on in my pregnancy but I’m loving the name Aliona if the baby is a girl at the moment (we won’t be finding out the gender). What do you think?

Hmm. Not sure. Sounds like a mash up of Alina and Leona.

Love this name, DH vetoed (too Strictly/european)

Lovely but I love all names ending in Ona

It reminds me of aioli, garlic mayo, sorry

How do you pronounce it?

it almost sounds like a mash up of mal aliento as well. Not quite. But i looked at it and thought of bad breath for some reason.

I like Fiona or Leona though.

I like it. I know one. She’s Russian.

I prefer Ilona which is a lovely name

I like it. Pronounced as it's written, Al ee ona.

It reminded me of garlic mayonnaise.

What about Ilona? My Hungarian aunt was Ilona. Pronounced Ee’lon’ah.

It’s a form of Helena.

The garlic mayonnaise is pronounced completely differently Ay olli.

The garlic mayo is pronounced ay-oh-li and the name is pronounced a-lee-oh-na... they're not even that similar 🙈

Love it. I used to work with one, who was lovely.

It's quite pretty.

I prefer Eliana (Elly arna) which is similar.

Its a pretty popular russian name

I like it

In Russian it's short for Elena

Prefer Helena or Elena, more classy.

Garlic mayo!
Ilona is ok though

I like it.

Aliona sounds nothing like aïoli !!!

I like it too. Nothing garlicky about it.

I'm not keen and do prefer Ilona or Iona.

I think it's a gorgeous name.

It sounds like a medical condition, sorry.
