Yana?

[minkersmum]

i thought Anya for sure, dp saying no to Anya but likes Yana, which was my suggestion as an alternative. Altho not sure which i prefer
Any thoughts?

Yana isn't very pretty at all.

Ania
Anya
Anna
Hannah
Diana
Eliana

?

Roxanne
Roxanna

?

isn't it spelt Jana?

what about Lana

Hannah - ooh lovely ...

Not keen on Yana - too close to Yoni which I think means fanjo (sure I read it in a Nancy Friday book once ). Really like Anya or Annie.

Yana is a popular middle-aged Russian name, Anya is more cosmopolitan.

Anya definitely.

yes normally spelt jana but i prefer yana.

yoni/yana not sure they are too similar imo

roxanna/roxanne? too 80's

anna? my grans name already used by others in family

hannah? makes me think plain and fat

diana and eliana just so not my bag.. infact diana made me laugh out loud for some weird reason, made me think of pierced ears and pearls!!!

opinions appreciated tho thanks!

Rosanne might be less 80s, unless an -a ending sounds better with your surname.

Clea
Thea
Liana
Rowena
Morwenna

I quite like Yana/Jana actually

How about
Astrid?

Ava?
Aviva?
Lara?

Eve

Anya is pretty, but not Yana, which makes me think frumpy in a nylon pinny, for some reason (Sorry all Yanas out there!)

Love Anya.

Yana just reminds me of The Master in Doctor Who now - his human persona was Professor Yana.

What about Alayna....

(not sure how to spell it but you say it as Elaine with an a on the end)

Alayna Blythe (I'm loving Blythe as a middle name, seems to go with most things and sounds sophisticated and elegant)

(again, IMO anyway )
