Girls names ending in 'a'

113 replies

For various reasons we're looking for a girls name ending in a/ah. We have a few options but none feel like the "one" quite yet.

Names that have already been ruled out:
Arabella
Alexandra
Bella (one of us likes, other does not)
Eliza (can't use for various reasons but like)
Matilda
Sarah (one of us likes, other does not)

I like slightly less popular names but DH doesn't like anything too out there. Any suggestions please?

Its dd2s middle name and I sometimes wish I had have been brave enough to use it as her first

There are lots.

Old Roman (linked to the above), like Julia, Claudia, Antonia.
Jewish/Old Testament classics like Rebecca, Jemima etc.
Arabic, like Leila.
