Seraphina - would choose a name that doesn't end with a
Iris - no, too similar sounding
Ottilia - see seraphina
Annabel - same first initial may be confusing with the post
Clara - yes
Lysha - no
Lila - no, too similar sounding

I like Annabel and Iris best, but agree with PP about initials on post!

I love it when someone asks for an opinion on a list of names and people just write their own list of names instead 😁

My favourite to go with Aria from your list is Iris

Pelleas · 18/10/2020 10:49

Ottilia is my favourite. You could have 'Ottilie' if you wanted to avoid both names ending in A.

Noelle
Penelope
Harper
Miriam

Aria is such a beautiful name. I’m due later this year and this our name if we have a little girl. Do you get many compliments about it?

I think out of your list, Iris sounds best with Aria. Also, to add a new one, Erin is lovely too.

Creamteafatty · 18/10/2020 11:06

Erin does sound lovely with Aria.

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 18/10/2020 11:39

I really want to say Sanza Grin

But I like Iris from your list.

Wotsitone · 18/10/2020 11:52

Thanks for your opinions and suggestions. Also I don’t mind if they both end in a my husband is From a Latin speaking country where every girls name ends in a and Ottilia and Seraphina are common names.

I like Iris best.

TicTacTwo · 18/10/2020 12:32

I think Iris sounds best as it's also short and not popular like Lila which has the issue of whether it's pronounced like lilac without the c or Lee-la

I've hear of Ottilie but not Ottilia and would avoid Annabel because if you have #3 and their name doesn't start with A people will annoy you by suggesting A names in pregnancy

Seraphina - a bit too frilly for my taste
Iris - ok
Ottilia - Makes me thinkof Reptilia
Annabel - nice
Clara - don't like
Lysha - is it Leesha or Lie-sha? Don't like the spelling
Lila - makes me think of a lilo.

Enko · 18/10/2020 14:03

Seraphina love it was on our shortlist for dd3 but she didn't feel like a Seraphina

Iris pretty but nowhere near the league of Aria IMO

Ottilia I like it but unusual in the UK that Asia is not if that matters?

Annabel pretty but may become Anna and Anna and Aria are very similar in sound

Clara pretty

Lysha not keen on this

Lila pretty and goes well w Aria

Wotsitone · 18/10/2020 14:36

Thank you. I have ruled out a few based on this and the front runners are
Aria and Iris
Aria and Seraphina
And maybe Aria and Ottilie ? Instead of Ottilia

My Aria’s middle name is Eve
Can you think of any good middle names for Seraphina, Iris or Ottilie? Also what do you think of the name Noa? Does that work? Aria and Noa? Thanks!!

OP says they pronounce it Ari-er. Otherwise Cadence also came to mind.
Oneandabean · 18/10/2020 16:20

Noa Olivia sounds a bit like no Olivia.
Not a fan of seraphina, it sounds like a brand or shop name.
I love iris, unfortunately can’t use it as I know someone who has recently. I think iris annabel is lovely.
