I'm 39 weeks and I still haven't decided on a name yet, we have a shortlist and I thought I would post it here to see what people think. We're mostly looking at arabic names

Layla/Leila
Lila
Amara
Ava
Nahla

Amara is beautiful
Leila a close second

947EliseChalotte · 27/07/2020 20:35

Nahla is best out of those, not keen on the others sorry x

chunkyrun · 27/07/2020 20:36

Amara is beautiful

TimeWastingButFun · 27/07/2020 20:36

I like Nahla best but not keen on the H as I can see the word Nah. So maybe Nala?

Moonflower12 · 27/07/2020 20:36

Amara definitely.

Gobb · 27/07/2020 20:37

I like amara best

PintOfGin · 27/07/2020 20:52

Amara

Spied · 27/07/2020 20:54

Layla

NameChange84 · 27/07/2020 20:55

Nahla reminds me of The Lion King so I’m not keen.

Amara or Leila are much nicer.

sarahc336 · 27/07/2020 21:05

Amara

MrsGilly1 · 27/07/2020 21:06

Hi,

I prefer Lana X

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 27/07/2020 21:22

I really like Amara- never heard it before

Changedname81 · 27/07/2020 21:24

Love them all apart from amara 😍

Bananalanacake · 27/07/2020 21:35

Yes, definitely Lana.

NameChange84 · 27/07/2020 21:40

Where did she mention LANA?

It’s not even an Arabic name! Confused

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 27/07/2020 21:42

Amara- my niece is Amara, never met another. It’s unusual without being wacky or out there. Stunning name imo

MadamMooch · 27/07/2020 21:42

Amara is beautiful. Love Lila too, but you will get people confused about whether it’s Lee-la, Lie-la or Lilla.

M0mmyneedswine · 27/07/2020 21:46

Amara or nahla

Tinamou · 27/07/2020 21:46

I love Lila (pronounced lie-la) and Amara.

Babymabel · 27/07/2020 21:48

Nahla is lovely

Megan2018 · 27/07/2020 21:49

My hairdresser is an Amara, lovely name.

Ava and Lila are nice too.

Dislike the others

Spidey66 · 27/07/2020 21:52

Leila's lovely
Amara and Ava are my next favourites from your list.
Not keen on the others.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 27/07/2020 21:57

Ava and Leyla are just too popular for my taste

totallyyesno · 27/07/2020 22:00

Ava - because I've always wanted a palindrome name!

Doubtingmustafa · 27/07/2020 22:09

My favourite is Lila (short for Delilah which is also Arabic).
