Not sure if Mya is Mia (which my phone autocorrects to MIA - missing in action) or Maya. So from your list Maya is OK, and Alana, and I love timeless names like Charlotte but don’t think you should go for it because it doesn’t fit the brief of being modern and less common. Will have a think of other modern names!

Mya/Miah and Charlotte are far from uncommon. Myas are everywhere.

I like Alana.

I like modern uncommon, bold(but not over the top) names. Yet you list names that are very common, some misspelt, and some not modern or bold.

Alana - Alan-a/Al-anna/Al-arna?
Alaia - it's better than Gucci or Versace, I suppose. long vowelly names are very popular so it's samey
Remy -- boy's name. Ratatouille
Mya, Miah - Mia or Maya. 'Unique' spelling will be a PITA.
Kalayah - looks made up
Charlotte - classic

LoudPlumDog · 06/10/2025 13:55

Charlotte is fab!
