Which name do you prefer and why? Baby will have an Arab & English background :)

Amira

Amira it's beautiful 😍

Serena. Amira is fine but more ordinary. Serena is not related to the Sirens of mythology and doesn’t sound the same.

I really like both but think that Amira has a more obvious link to Arabic culture.

I really like both! And I like Amina which is somewhere in between not that it helps

Samina is nice too.

Amira

bridgetreilly · 11/05/2020 17:13

How about Samira?

Bubbletrouble43 · 11/05/2020 17:15

They're both lovely names. Serena has the edge for me, very pretty.

Lyricallie · 11/05/2020 17:19

Oh I really like both. Maybe Serena as you don't hear it as often.

sibbys · 11/05/2020 17:43

Amira because of the arab background - really don't like Serena

Ingridla · 12/05/2020 10:01

They're both beautiful but Amira just edges it!

Amira is gorgeous. I hate the name Serena it's so harsh.
