Help with baby girl name

[EdgyHedgehog]

So our baby is due very soon, we have a shortlist of names, but still can't pick one, for me nothing seems quite right, but maybe I just need to choose one and get used to it. Our family is also mixed heritage, Arabic, Irish and Turkish so looking for a name that will work across cultures.
So far our shortlist/ long list is

Farah
Lana
Seren
Arel
Zadie
Emel
Tulin

What do you think, and open to ideas. Thank you ☺️

Farah- I think is beautiful
Lana- went to school with one and she was teased because of what it is backwards🙈
Seren- gorgeous
Arel- a bit bland compared to the other beautiful names on your list
Zadie- I like but not as beautiful as Farah or Seren
Emel- not for me
Tulin- not for me

I think Farah is absolutely beautiful and so is Seren. The other names are nice but don’t meet up to these xx

Seren is my favourite from your list

Do you mean Ariel?
I love that. There was a song in the 70s Ariel, now I've got it earworming me.

I love the name Seren from your list. Would Zara work for you?

Ariel is nice, Arel not so much. Farah and Seren are lovely. Tulin is nice

All very pretty names. Seren is my favourite (possibly slightly biased ☺️)

Not sure how important the cultural thing is for you, though. With it being a Welsh name it wouldn’t quite fit with the ones you’ve stated.

Love Farah & Lana, both beautiful names

I love Seren but all of your names are pretty. Personally, I wouldn’t choose Lana because of the potential for teasing.

My daughters are called Maya ( Mya/Mayah/Myah are other spellings ) & Sara
we wanted an Arabic/English name. Farrah is lovely I also like Aliyah x

Without knowing your surname it’s a bit trickier but I like Farah the best - good luck!

Irish Turkish Heritage here as well We were adamant on a chosen name until she was born, that name went out the window 🤣 we chose Reyna. can’t imagine her being anything else and cringe at the original name I’d say wait till she’s here then decide

Lana and Seren are my favourites- both are gorgeous names. Zadie and Farah are also quite nice.

I like Farrah the best from your list. I think the names Yasmin and Sofia are lovely if you wanted a Turkish inspired name that also works in the UK

Thank you so much for all your suggestions and feed back, it's so helpful. Seren is a lovely name, it's meant to be a Turkish name too, but looked it up in a Turkish dictionary and it said it means boom! Haha,
The Welsh name Seren and its meaning are lovely, but we're not Welsh, so maybe a bit more left field, if it's not also Turkish. We really liked Lana but were a bit worried about reverse spelling too
Farah has probably been our front runner so lovely to hear lots of people like it too. Reyna is also lovely 😍

I have a friend whose daughter is Seren and they are Turkish
it’s a nice name

I love Farah and Seren!

I love Seren and Zadie

Farah is the nicest, I also love Lana and Seren.

Have you considered Yasmin/Yasemin/Yasmine? My sons girlfriend is Yasemin and she is half Turkish half English. It's a really lovely name.

Zara and Yasmin are lovely and we also really like Layla, Lena and Nour, but we have all these names already in our family or close friends.

Oh, that's good to know! Do you know what spelling?

Maya and Sarah are beautiful and sound nice together. Yes, looking for something with some crossover. I really like Hannah, but not sure if it's too popular?

I like Zadie from your list.

You've got some really pretty names there, especially Farah. Hannah/Hana is beautiful too and has cross-cultural appeal - it's popular with people from at least three of the religious groups based in the UK. But the suggestion to wait till you meet your little girl is a good one. You might decide on a name, take one look at her and think no, she's Amira or Yasmin (or a variant.)

Lana would have been my first pick our of these until you said that! How have I never noticed that before 🙃
