Names that sounds the softest & most feminine on my list

[canwetalk]

Ahana
Suhani
Lila
Selina
Alisha

Forgot to add, which ones also sound refined and elegant? Bit concerned about Suhani / Ahana/ Alisha.

For me, Selina by miles.

To me the 'ha' sound in Ahana and Suhani sounds a little harsher. Lila does sound soft and feminine to me but it's also very overused at the moment and therefore to me more 'common' than elegant. Alisha sounds nice but it would confuse me whether it is spelled Alicia and pronounced in the American way.

I love Suhani. Can't stand Selina -- always sounds slithery to me. Lila, Ahana, and Alisha are nice but they all seem commonplace somehow.... So many similar names out there.

The more Indian-sounding names actually seem more refined/elegant to me. But I'm biased.

Lila is my favourite from your list, I don't like Alisha or Selina.

Ahana sounds like a whisper I absolutely love it!

Lila only one i like personally

Refined and elegant - Suhani and Ahana

I’d ditch Alisha and Lila as they’re quite common names.

Selina’s ok but I prefer Serena.

Suhani is lovely, both feminine and elegant .

I know a Suhani and love the name!

How does Avani/ Avni sound? Forgot to add it to the list!!

I think Selina is the most elegant. Alisha the least.

Alisha no. Hard no!
Love Suhani.
The others are nice.

I’ve never heard Suhani before but I think it sounds beautiful.

Avni is quite nice! Not as nice as Suhani, though.

Just out of interest, what is the origin of these names?

Ahana is lovely. As is Lila. I don't like Selina at all. Sounds like semolina

Thanks everyone! Ruled out Alisha because I’ve been very half hearted about it all along but DH was keen so kept trying to force myself to like it, he’s thankfully gone off it now!
@itssquidstella These are mostly Indian names. Selina / Alisha are quite popular international names used within the Indian community but I’m not sure if they have any roots in Sanskrit or Hindi.
You’re all starting to convince me that Suhani is a good option! I had my doubts initially but it’s growing on me!

I like Suhani and Avni from your suggestions.

Lila - beautiful

Love Lila

Lila sounds like a sanitary pad to me and Selina reminds me of semolina. I do like the others though.

They all sound soft and feminine to me.

I don't think Alisha or Lila sound particularly refined or elegant, but the others do.

I like Suhani best, it's beautiful.

I like Avani/Avni too, but it's got less of a soft sound than the others.

Selena is my favourite. Very pretty.

Selena

Thanks everyone!
