I am 35 weeks pregnant and still don't know what to name my daughter
She is half white and half Jamaican the only name I kind of like so far is kihanna or kianna, kiyanna, keyana lots of ways to spell it. But my sister said that's it's weird

I really love Kianna, this spelling is nicest though!

DramaAlpaca · 29/10/2020 00:22

It's pretty. Kianna is probably the best way to spell it if you want people to know how to pronounce it without checking with you first.

Oh, and your sister's opinion doesn't matter. It's your baby, not hers.

Oh its nice. I like the Keyana spelling the most.

I think Kiyanna could be mispronounced as Ky-anna rather than Kee-ana.

It’s nice! Is it to rhyme with Rihanna? Or more Key-Ar-Na?

imjustbxx · 29/10/2020 00:32

@ARoseInHarlem I kind of like both but I don't know which I like more 😅

It’s tricky! Like Rihanna and, well, you think of her. Like Key-Ar-Na and you think of Keanu. Maybe you could explain it as the female version of Keanu Grin

Kianna is my favourite, it's a lovely name.

DramaAlpaca is spot on. Kianna is pretty.

I don't usually say this but I would avoid Kihanna and Kianna spellings due to unfortunate associations.
I think these spellings are best:

Keana - is Hawaiian and will be best understood as female version of Keanu
Kiana - is a Persian name and English spelling of Cíana
Cíana - is Irish although this spelling being widely pronounced See-anna so you might want to keep the K.

Other lovely ki names
Kyria - Greek for Glory
Kezia - means cinnamon
Kiera (there's a thread for this one)
Keelan
