Aliana

[badkitty]

Finding it v difficult to find girls' names me and DH agree on but we both like this - any thoughts? We are not trying to be different - we are quite conventional with names really but just think this has a nice sound and can be shortened to Ally, which is also nice.

sounds a bit made up but go with sopmething you both like.What about alice?

I have not heard of Aliana. I prefer Ariana which is Greek in origin. It could be shortened to Anna.

My DD is Alana which I love, not sure about the extra 'i'.

It is not made up (at least not by us): this is from Babynames.com:

The meaning of the name Aliana is Noble & Gracious

The origin of the name Aliana is Latin

From the names Alia and Anne

Maybe it is used in the US. We got it from a character in a book.

Alice can be shortened to Ally too...

Sounds like a company that makes feminine hygiene products.

knew a gorgeous little girl who was called Allianna she was lovely. Always really liked the name but dh would never go for it.

hanaflower, that is exactly who I was thinking of - it is quite a long time since I read the book so obviously remembered the spelling wrong!

I'm not keen on Alice really - could think about Alicia.

I think its lovely

eerrr how do u pronounce it?

i like Alanis.

hm...not sure about Aliana...prefer Aline, Alanis and Allanah...or just Liana

I prefer Alana to Aliana. Still not a favourit name of mine though.

I also prefer Alice, to be shorted to Ali if you wish. Or Alicia.

I quite like it also know an Eliana and an Alina and Elina

I don't dislike the sound, but the overall impression it leaves me is too vague. What did I just hear? sort of feeling. AliAnna

Elena is simpler and more beautiful imo. Alice is lovely but quite popular.

Or what about Eleni, have just finished reading "Random acts of heroic love" and one of the central characters had this greek name.......just gorgeous.

Not keen, it does look made up to me.

don't like it - sounds like a Russian hooker.
