Maheen or Mehreen?

[Babynamespring]

Last one!! Sorry I know I’ve posted two threads already, I took all the advice given in the past comments on board, you were all so helpful! and now I’m considering these names, hoping that there won’t be any weird associations to these ones, let me know if they sound like anything odd. Also, which one sounds the nicest to you? Thanks!

Maheen: moon-like (radiant/ beautiful like the moon)
Mehreen: affectionate/ loving or bright like the sun. Mehr has two meanings, love & Sun

I don't think either should be too hard to pronounce, the 'h' will be included in Maheen by most English speakers (unless they know Urdu too). Other than that, I think they're pretty close to how they're spelt from how you say you would pronounce them.

I love the meaning of Maheen and the sound of Mehreen so in your position would be tossing a coin!

I have a good friend named Mehreen. She goes by Meena at work, she truly is a ray of sunshine and certainly loved. Love that name and what it means.

Mehreen

Thank you for all these responses!! Just to clarify, Maheen is pronounced like Maa-heen, the “a” is like the a in Aria for example.

For girls? They do remind of Maureen TBH, which is not a lovely name.

Are you the lady who had a list including Farimah? That’s lovely, I think.

@Luredbyapomegranate Yep for girls! I did, Farimah is lovely but I’m not too keen on it anymore for some reason.

I know a Mehreen. And I pronounce it Meh-heh-reen

Would pronounce as meh- reeen (meh as in not great ) do would go with Mahreen ...both beautiful meanings though

Depends on how important the 'h' pronunciation is in Mehreen. My friend has a son called Mihran and everyone pronounces it mirren as in Helen Mirren.
