I like it - are you Muslim?

ooooh thats really lovely

BarbieLovesKen · 10/06/2010 21:43

God, I really, really like that..

I have a thing against names beginning with 'uh'. My name's Olivia and I hate having to enunciate that first nothingy syllable.
So how about Mira / Meera?

Nikalah · 14/06/2010 20:40

Thanks for your responses, no I'm not Muslim. Does that make it weird?

It wouldn't start 'Uh' but 'Ah' as in Ah-meer-ah. I imagine it would naturally get shortened to Mira.

Yes, unfortunate conincedence with Eastenders - but I think she's been written out now..... which I think makes it much more acceptable!

Bit too close to Almera. As in Nissan...

I love the name but would assume you (or rather, your DD) were Muslim.

I love the name Amira, I am going to use it as a middle name. Are you muslim? - Just asking as It's a muslim name - my partner is muslim.

Very pretty. I know a girl with that name who pronounces it Am-eye-rah. She isn't Muslim either.
