So i've posted a few times about choosing a name, i've decided on Raven. Her surname will be Octavia. I am stuck between two middle names, Kaida or Lila. I would really appreciate if you could let me know which one you think is better.

Lila, definitely - well-known and quite a 'pretty' name, which she can use if she feels that Raven is a bit much

Lila at a push, but that depends if you like the repeated 'a' sounds at the end of two consecutive names

The repeated 'a' at the end is not good. I'd go for something like Juno or Nancy.

I did think about the double a. I don't think it would really be a problem though since middle names barely get mentioned

Lila.

I think Lila would go best

I don’t think you should ask a group of strangers. You might hate our children’s names. Are you insecure?

Try to believe in your own judgement more.

I never ask anyone what they think anymore.

subbysammiexoxo · 25/05/2021 02:14

if anything I would go Lila 'raven' octavia instead but upto you

Whitewolf2 · 25/05/2021 11:37

To me Raven Kaida feels quite difficult to say, I prefer Lila, to me it flows better.

If I wasn't choosing a middle name with meaning I'm not sure I'd bother with one. What's the point?

Tuckedinbelly · 25/05/2021 11:54

And I mean personal meaning to you - a family name, your wedding flower, a friends name, your favourite artist, your favourite place. Whatever
