Hi girls!
I like the following three names for a baby girl.
Can you tell me what you think, what they evoke (if any) for you?
Thank you 😊😊

MELINA
AMAYA or AMAYAH
LEELA
LILLA

Amaya spelt either way is nice and so is leela ☺️

amylou8 · 31/03/2022 12:38

They're all nice, but my vote is Amaya.

Happenchance · 31/03/2022 12:44

I like Amaya.

Leela and Lilla are too closed in on themselves for my liking. Leela makes me think of Futurama.

emmathedilemma · 31/03/2022 13:01

I'm getting Asian or Arabic vibes off this list? I prefer Amaya or Melina, Leela and Lilla merge into all the other Lila, Lyra, Liliah type names.

LoIa · 31/03/2022 13:04

Not a fan of Leela and Lilla as there are so many around and these spellings look kind of wrong/unusual to me.

Amaya is beautiful! Yes Arabic vibe

My favourite though is Melina - just absolutely beautiful yet underused

ozzyfroggy · 31/03/2022 13:05

Melina by a mile!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/03/2022 13:13

I only like Amaya.

KirstenBlest · 31/03/2022 14:22

MELINA - not sure
AMAYA or AMAYAH - Amaya quite nice but there are lots of similar names like Anaya, Aliyah, Maya/Maia/Mia etc
LEELA - Leila is nice.
LILLA - no

Melina stands out a bit so choose that one. The others are a bit samey

rainbowegg · 31/03/2022 14:23

Melina or Amaya get my vote

ButterRose · 31/03/2022 14:41

My favourite would be Amaya beautiful name, second I would say Melina

ISmellBurnings · 31/03/2022 15:21

Not Melina as it just sounds like Melaena which is a medical term for black poo caused by bleeding.

Prefer Lyla than Lilla or Leela.

Mumofgirls2017 · 31/03/2022 15:23

Don’t love any but Leela is ok. Prefer Lila myself

ThrobbingToothacheOfTheMind · 31/03/2022 17:35

Was going to say Melina sounds like bloody poo. It's not good.

Amayah is nice. I like Leela too.

DogsAndGin · 31/03/2022 17:35

All sound Arabic to me, so, I presume you’re a Muslim family - in which case, I love Amayah!

CPL593H · 31/03/2022 17:39

Amaya(h) is really nice
