Help with baby name

[drzoolander]

Hi, Due to have second daughter in next few weeks and unsure of name. On our shortlist:
Kara
Maya - worried about mis pronounciation?
Martha
Myla

What do you all think? Really need help. Thank you!

ooh i really like Myla, it just... grabbed me! mmm yes Myla

love the others too, although i like Kara with a C

Yes, I really like Myla too, never heard it before but it definitely gets my vote.

Maya or Martha for me - both lovely

Martha is the nicest. I know a couple of Maias, Mayas, Mias...

Kara I like, but I prefer Clara. Although Kara is quite nice.

Myla confuses me. It's OK. It's grown on me a bit since I first read your list a minute ago.

Martha though!

I love Myla. Think it may be popular though soon, I know 2 baby Mileys too.

Another vote for Myla here too - lovely soft sounds that feel nice to say too.

maggievirgo that happened to me with Myla too.
I glanced at the list and kind of thought hmm, don't like that. then i said it in my head and thought actually.. and now i love it! lol

they are al kinda pretentious apart from martha - which is just ugly

MArtha is lovely
Cara with a C is also splendid

Myla I could take or leave - sounds a bit made-up (but I am a traditionalist)

I like Maya and Martha, but not Myla.

It makes me think of Mylar (plastic sheeting).

Thank you everyone, some really interesting thoughts. Do you think Martha will become very popular with older names making a comeback?
Also, with Myla - Roger Federer recently named his daughter this. Liked it before but now worried this might increase popularity...??

Martha is already pretty popular - was 86th last year (ie below Eve but above Rose)

Martha, Martha, Martha!!! I LOVE it!!!
I'd love to my baby Martha if she turns out to be a girl, but DH is set on Harriet!! Can't talk him out of it at all!!

Others are pretty, but Don't like Myla as it sounds a bit made up.

Kara - Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is a good character in Battlestar Galactica, I'd prefer Cara - nice name.

Maya - nice, true that it will get pronounced either as My-a or May-a but lots of names are like this, it wouldn't put me off

Martha - my fave from this list

Myla - this is a brand of fancy knickers www.mylausa.com/ which I find a slightly disturbing connotation for a young girl, sorry!

Yeah the knickers connection has concerned my husband! Am thinking Myla is out, in the middle of the night I suddenly got the name confused with Myra, thinking of Myra Hindley. That has very much put me off!!

martha is lovely. top of my list at the mo. not even up the duff..
