Turkish baby names

Hello

My partner is Turkish and I am Welsh, I am currently pregnant with our daughter, my partner desperately wants her to have a Turkish name - he has suggested ‘Dilara’ - the meaning is pretty but will inevitably be shortened to ‘Lara’ over here…

What does everyone think?

The Turkish name Esra was high on my list. We had a boy :)

Dilara is a sweet name, I prefer Dil as a nn.

Lovely name! Is your little boy Turkish/half Turkish? Trying to find some families to interact with :) I live in a small town and don’t know any other mixed Turkish families! X

@Lizzie67384 I actually live overseas right now. My husband is half Arabic, half Hispanic. We had a lot of names to choose from!

I like it but prefer Safiye - my friends daughter's name - always been known as Safi
Congratulations 💐

Dilara is gorgeous. Dilly is a great nickname.
