Choosing between three baby girl names

Hi, I'm pregnant with a baby girl and my husband and I have narrowed it down to three names but we can't decide which one to pick, as we like them all in different ways so I thought I'd ask for opinions.

The names are: Melody, Keira and Annabella.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you.

I like melody then Keira and Annabella I’m not keen on

Keira is lovely

I don't like either of the other two, sorry (my own name is very similar to one of them and I dislike that too)

Annabella!
I find Melody actually kind of ugly and Mel is horrible.
Keira is just ok.

@stickygotstuck I think you have got mixed up. Ciara is Irish and pronounced the same as Keira. Chiara is Italian and pronounced key-ah-ra.

@AppleBottomRats
Ah, yes, you're right, I forgot about the 'h'. And I really shouldn't - I know at least one of each of those! 😬

Sorry, OP, as you were if you are going for Keira.

Melody - love it
Keira - like it but could cause spelling confusion
Annabella - definitely not but if your leaning that way go with Annabelle

Melody.

Can I just point out, Keira and Ciara are two totally different names (Ciara being an Italian name). They are also pronounced very differently.

Yes I was confused about that. I didn't know it was Italian but I always knew Ciara as a completely different name to Keira, pronounced 'see-ar-ah' with three syllables like the singer while Keira was pronounced 'keer-ah' with two syllables.

Oh I just saw @AppleBottomRats comment about Ciara pronounced Keira being Irish.

Keira then Melody. Annabella not as nice as Isabella.

A580Hojas · 19/08/2022 05:16

I prefer Keira by a long way. I've only ever met one Keira although she is Irish so it is Ciara. But it's lovely.

Annabella is really nice :)

Melody
