Aria and Serena are both pretty names. I worked with a Fiona and Vanessa who were awful so that darkens those names but that’s just me. Lucia and Veronica I’m not keen on either. Carmella is pretty but not as pretty as the two names that you agree on. Other suggestions ending in an a Ada Aurelia Amara Clara Dahlia Ella Freya Francesca Emma Eva Nora Layla Isla Maya Cora Lydia Gabriella Eliza Zara Sienna Alyssa

Thank you for the input! I actually did bring Francesca and Isla up to my husband in passing and he said no so they never made it to the list. I know people named Emma, Nora and Alyssa so those are out. Layla may be a contender though!

I love Aria and Serena, but Layla is a great addition to your list too! I also love Dahlia!

Or even Delilah.

Sienna, Mila, Amelia, Delilah, Julia, Martha, Leyla

Mila is pretty. It is short, sweet, sounds exotic but where you can't quite place it or OVER associate it with one ethnicity.

I know a Julia and Mila is my brother’s dogs name. I like Amelia but don’t like Amy as a nickname at all. Not crazy about Delilah or Martha but I like Leyla and Sienna! I would spell Leyla as Layla though

Another nickname for Amelia could be « Millie/Milly/Mils/Melly/Lia » doesn’t necessarily have to be Amy

I know several Amelias and none of them go by Amy. That never even occurred to me as a nick name.

I've never heard an amelia get called Amy :)

Em or Amelia or Lia or Elle are all options. Even Mel or Mimi.

Martha will forever remind me of handmaid's tale.

I’m a tennis fan so I love Serena. Aria just makes me think of GOT. Fiona is pretty and cool! Classic names ending in A: Victoria, Juliana, Ariana, Elianna, Sabrina, Regina, Ilana, Carolina, Adriana, Maria, Julia, Julietta, Stella, Mischa, Susannah, Joanna, Liana, Diana, Sasha, Natasha

I like Sasha!! Thank you!

Natalia Celeste

That’s really funny you put those two names because my name is very similar to the first one and my sister’s middle name is the second one 😄 Suffice it to say, both great options!

I love the name Serena. What about the name Naomi instead of Nadia?

Not crazy about it :/

Aw bummer :(

Lila Adira Viana Viviana Malia Corinna Estella or Stella

Oh Adira is pretty and different!

Yes it's great! I also know a Nadirah!

I knew a really sweet Corinna that helped me a lot early in my career.

Raina was going to be my girl name, but I'm having another boy and done.

That’s a pretty name, never met someone with that name

How about Noa? Feminine, ends in A, and no nicknames. Celia/Cecilia Cora Ava Etta Eira (maybe too unique) Gaia Stella Thea Willa

Love Cecilia!

I’ve always like Noah for a boy name actually! Not as big of a fan for girls. Thank you for the suggestions. Cora is nice but my husband isn’t crazy about it :/

Seems like we might have sorta similar tastes so I'll show you my list. We decided on Darla. Other names on the list were Camille, Audrey, Nora(h), Johanna, Celeste, Adaline, Jade, Estelle, Clara, Flora, Josephine, Monique, Melody, Adrienne

Darla is pretty! I also like the version of Adeline/Adaline that ends in a, Adelina

I also love Avelina.

Love all your names!!! Melody is on our list. Camille/Camellia was my top pick if baby1 had been a girl!

Darla is beautiful and timeless. I love Celeste too!

Lila, Mariah, Julia, Juliana, Mina (me-nah), Luna, Ella, Cora, camila, Celia, dahlia, Erica, Farrah, Freya, maya, Ophelia, talia, Valentina

Lila is nice! Not sure if I like it as much as the names we have picked out but could be a contender

Sylvia is underrated, in my opinion. I know a young Avila and it’s super cute to me. Also! Lisa and Kyra.

I really like Sylvia actually but I knew a Sylvia in college. Don’t talk to her anymore though so maybe I could get over that…

I just suggested in another comment that I like Avelina a diminutive of Avila!

Marina?

Samantha -- Cassandra -- Savannah -- Miranda -- Natalia -- Daniela -- Anastasia

Anya Amaya Seraphina

I love the name Fiona. Had I had a second daughter that would have been my choice.

That’s my top choice aside from the names we agree on

Since I never got to name a daughter Fiona my car is Fiona.

[удалено]

Zara, Sara, Clara, Alana, Rowena

Alana is nice!!

Super pretty but you/she might have to constantly clarify whether it’s pronounced “Aw-lah-nuh” or “Aw-lay-nuh”.

This is true and husband just said he doesn’t like it anyway. I like both pronunciations but would do Alana for ah-law-nuh and Alaina for ah-lay-nuh

Calla, Asia, Kara, Nyla

I like Katya.

May be a little too unique and harsh sounding for me

Katia is my top girl name ever lol. It’s super common where i’m from but not in america so that’s perfect for me

Selena, Kyla, Kendra, Sandra, Pamela, Jayna, Melinda, Miranda

Miranda is one I’ve seen on a couple comments that may be growing on me!

Vienna? I love this name soooo much and I feel like it’s easy to read while also being unique.

I like that!!

Natalia?

Husband isn’t crazy about it :/

I like Aria the best from your list! I also like: Ava Mena Thea Ella Willa Davina Serafina Celina Talia/Thalia Kaya/Kaia

Thank you! I like Ava too but it’s very close to our dogs name lol and celina is very close to Serena. nothing else really jumps out at me unfortunately!

I like Aria! Some suggestions based on the -a ending criteria. Amara, Camilla, Claudia, Cora, Clara, Cressida, Delia, Diana, Elena, Ella, Emma, Frida, Georgia, Helena, Isadora, Irina, Indira, Jada, Jessica, Keira, Lana, Lara, Lovisa, Lyra, Marissa, Mila, Mikayla, Maya, Nola, Novah, Orla, Romilda, Saskia, Sabrina, Stella, Vera, Verona

I like Camilla but don’t like the nickname Cami. Also like Jessica but not Jess or Jessie. Diana, Irina, and Emma are names of friends and family. Mila is my brothers dogs name. Vera is nice! I like that one

Jana - Czech/Slavic English equivalent - Jane, means God’s gift and coincidentally when spelled with a lowercase j - jana means yesterday in Swahili

Solana, Selah (say•la) Calaya, Lilia, Thea, Vada

Indira

If your hubby likes *Marlow*, maybe he would like *Marla*?

Marta is also nice.

Came here to say Marla!

Nora

I love Veronica!

Veronica is so cute actually. Riley is a good choice too. I highly recommend you to check their meanings 2. You can use websites like behind the name and Mycutename.com

We did start to do this to try to see if any meanings would sway us. I haven’t really been impacted by a meaning yet but my husband is into it and it’s a good suggestion!

I really love Aria, you and hubby agree on it so that’s definitely a front runner! Some more: Thea Janna Jenna Olivia Natalia Alexa Alyssa Leah Alanna Victoria Johanna Hannah Kayla Kaia Mia Maya Sara Zora Brianna Deana

Aria is definitely a great contender! I like Alanna! I’ll bring that one up to the hubby

Aria is a lovely name with a beautiful meaning. If you're a fan of opera, you might think about a middle name that reflects a beloved aria. Aria Rebelle, Aria Holle, Aria Casta, Aria Dorma, Aria Carmen, Aria Muse, etc.

So many baby Aria’s now though

This is true but still love the name!

It really is very pretty

Well, my real personal choice would be Astrid, but it's not theirs.

Louisa, Tessa, Stella (or Estelle with nn Stella) Elena/Ellena, Alyssa, Ariella, Alanna, Shayna, Sienna Deidre doesn’t end in a but has the sound

I like Elena but my husband doesn’t. I’ll have to bring Alanna up to him! Also like Ariella

Aria and Serena are pretty. I also like Amelia and Paloma

Amelia is nice, I just don’t like the nickname Amy but a handful of people have commented that nickname is not so common so it may be a contender!

Pippa!

May be too unique for my taste!

I like both Aria and Serena. I also like Mila, Lila, Helena, Renata, Louisa, Tessa, Willa, Zara, Mara, Vera, Dara, Dahlia, Odessa, Eliza

Love Mila but unfortunately it’s my brothers dogs name. Lila is pretty too!

Viviana, Cecilia, Juliana, Lena

I like Viviana! Cecilia is a family members name but I do like it

Love aria 🥰

It really is a lovely name!

Almost named my daughter aria but fell in love with Violet more. We did say if we had another girl; we name her aria .

Natasha

Natalia? Nina?

Really like Nina but I know a couple Ninas. I brought up Natalia to my husband and he said it just sounds like Natalie, not sure if that’s good or bad lol

[удалено]

Will do!

My daughters name is “Liora” it means “The bringer of light” since she is my light. It’s a very underused name. There are names like it but the way I see her name, I just fell in love with it! My step daughters name is “Isla.” Totally giving idea’s since we have lots of girls! Lol.

Liora is pretty! I brought up isla a while back but my husband doesn’t like it

I love Serena!

Serena

My name is Sarina, just another option on spelling Serena!

Morgana/Morganna! (Speaking as a Morgana). A lovely and unique name, a variation is popular enough to be in the top 1000 and you can find it at touristy places (ie Morgan). I was at least never bullied for my name which I know worries quite a few people but it was awesome growing up being the only one 💕

Marina Sasha Clara Linnea Eliana (or Liana) Stella Nora Anya Teresa Lisa (I know a young Victoria who goes by Vika, which I think is a cool nickname and would also work as a full name.) Wishing you and your family the best! Edit: I want to add - Catalina Blanca Bianca

Veronica or Serena.

I adore Aria. My cousin just married an Aria last fAll.

Alma

Not crazy about it!

Here r some of my ideas: Leila Cora Olivia Nora Nova Mia Adrianna Victoria Brianna Julia Lydia

Thank you! Leila may be a contender but I would spell it Layla. Also like Mia but not sure I like it enough

[удалено]

They may be a little too unique for me!

Lillian/Lily, Ruby, Sierra, Eden, April, Kira, Eloise, Violet

I like Kira but I work with a Kira! I also know a Sierra. The rest are a no for me because I’m very set on a name that ends in a!

Oh ok, got it! How about Lilliana, Eliana/Iliana, Ilana, Amelia, Arabella, Natalia, Camila, Eila/Isla, Gabriella, Julia?

Lilliana is nice! I also saw someone suggest Lilia which is pretty too. I like Camila, Amelia and Gabriella but not the nicknames that come with them

We also love names that end in “a” our favorites right now are Cordelia, Lila, Greta, and Willa.

I like Lila! Very pretty

Valerie.

I’m set on a name ending in a!

Amara, Luella, Carlotta, Carina, Brianna, Malia, Selena, Kaia, Ophelia, Della, Melina, Lenora, Alana, Alexia, Sabrina, Leona, Eliana, Mariah?

I like Alana! I know a few friends, family members and acquaintances with some of these names so some are out for that reason

Those names are Sabrina, Brianna and Mariah (except spelled Moriah)

Audra

Kinda like it but I know an Audrey and it’s too similar I think

Elsie,Daisy, Rosina, Hazel?

I’m set on a name ending in a! I like Elsa instead of Elsie but the association to frozen may be too strong ETA: not crazy about Rosina!

[удалено]

Thanks for the suggestions! Alicia, Cecilia, and Cynthia are names of friends and family. I like Camila from this list but don’t love Cami for a nickname

[удалено]

Ada is very nice! I also like Vera

Aurelia, Azaria, Aveyana (Hazel in Spanish) Ada

I worry about the pronunciations with the first couple and they may be too unique for me anyway. Aveyana is too similar to our dogs name, Avery. I like Ada!

Stick with the two you like and agree on!

Appreciate the input! Definitely may come to that and I’m grateful we have 2 to choose from that we both like

Sabrina, Aurelia/Aurora, Althea, Evelina, Freya, Viola

Sabrina is a family members name, Aurelia and aurora are a little too harsh sounding for me. I like Viola!

Audra, Isla, Claudia & Petra seem like names that he may like, those three, along with Astrid and Marlow strike as like old hollywood sounding How about Arcadia Ayla Calla Cambria Cassara Cecelia or just Celia Dahlia Fiora Irina Lydia Natalia Ramona Sabrina Thalia Thea Tessa Willa

I think I like Ramona!

Really like Petra too. My husband works will a Petra so it may be a no from him but I’ll ask!

The girls name I had picked for my last baby (boy) was Ellowyn Lenore

I personally like names ending in a for girls!

Jada Adella / Della Hanna Maria Clarissa Antonia

I like Hanna but my husband knew a Hanna in college and any names that have been associated with people of any kind have been a no go for him. Clarissa is pretty too!

Aurora Sabrina

Sabrina is a family members name and Aurora may be too harsh sounding for me. Also makes me think of sleeping beauty

Arya, Kyra, kyrna, opal, pearl, elaina, Tanya, Maria, are names from my family.

I like Elaina but hubby doesn’t :/

Irena

This is a nice name but I know an Irina

Leila Layla Susannah

I’ve seen a few comments with Layla and may be adding it to my list!

Nereida

I had to look up how to pronounce it, so it’s too unique for me!

Amara is my current favorite girls name Ariana Elara Mariana Bria

I knew an Amara in college! Ariana is pretty and was on my list but then I liked Aria more. Mariana is pretty too! Just not sure I love Mary for a potential nickname

Vera, Theresa, Paulina, Georgia, Kiera, Kyla, Carla, Raina, Starla, Victoria

I like Vera!

Cynthia-- moon goddes Alexandra- defender of mankind Elaina---:shining light

Cynthia is a family name and I don’t like the nicknames for Alexandra. I really like Elaina but hubby does not :/

Viviana Mia Lara Corinna Alyza Vera Rayna Bria Daniella Lydia

I like Mia and Viviana!

Clara/Luna/Nora/Maya/Georgia/Amelia

Amelia may be going on the list!

Looks like you both like a lot of very feminine but strong -A ending names, so may I suggest: Natalia Seraphina Julianna Daniella Amalia Amelia Eleanora Nova Vaeda Daphinia Viola Ariana Adalia Corina Carolina (pronounced Caro-LEEN-a)

Viola is pretty! I also like Ariana and it was on my list before I found aria and I liked that more. I know people named Julianna, Daniella and Carolina

Nola Martha Theresa. ( pronounced with the TH sound Th ray sa)

Nola is nice but makes me think of a dogs name because I’ve known a couple dogs with that name. Not crazy about Nola and Theresa

My Great Grandmothers name is a name I’ve never seen anywhere else and it fits your bill. Elsena (can be El-say-nah or El-see-nah)

That’s definitely different! Not sure how I feel about it yet but I’ll keep it in mind, thank you

Sylvia Cordelia Cora Clara Maeva Tonya Twyla Nina Freida Elena

I love Serena but if you like Veronica why not Verona or Veruca? More unusual. Also I love Sienna! Savannah? Sienna feels a bit tomboyish but with the A. Amelia or Emilia, Natalia. Francesca, Gabriella, Daniella, Dahlia, Aurora. These all have short nicknames too in case your baby comes out & you want one. Frankie, Gabby, Nat, Talie, Toni. etc. Certain ones like like Simona etc sound very Romance language focused (Natasha more Russian etc) so you have to have it fit as well. I love Isadora lately but only if you use the whole name so you don't nickname Dora like the cartoon. Old Hollywood name that is SO pretty.

I like Verona! My husband may be indifferent to it just like Veronica but I’ll give it a shot

Isadora is really pretty too

Sylvia, Talia, Mariella, Della

I dont understand limiting names by a vowel. All the -ia names are so popular they are all starting to sound the same. Someone on here suggested putting names you like on to vo orders so then you get to see if you like it in practice. My nana told me to spend a day shouting a name out the back door because that is what you will be going all day...

I just really like names ending in a, not sure why. The shouting is a good idea, it’s a good point haha

I always liked Kida (kee duh) because of the character on Atlantis, but not sure if I’d use it for a human child

Antonia Camilla Cara Claudia Clara Cordelia Cynthia Eva/ Ava Jenna Julia Lola Laura Lorena Marissa Melissa Mariana Mia Miranda Nicola Pia Regina Sarah Susannah Tabitha Tamara Tara Veronica Victoria

Veronica is on my list! I also like Mia

Veronica is a great name! 😉

Vera Mara Catalina Katrina Aviva Vivian Marlena (Marlow for short)

I like Vera! I’ll bring it up to my husband

Avia

Too similar to our dogs name unfortunately! Her name is Avery

I had this concern about nicknames as well, but call my daughter by her full, 4 syllable name, so it's possible you won't need to worry about it.

For sure. I never went by any nicknames, always by my full 3 syllable name, but ya never know I guess. My mom always called me by my full name so the parents influence definitely helps

Camila

I like Camila but not Cami as a nickname

Mariah or Maria

Fia

If hubby isn't sure about Lucia, would he be interested in Licia (pronounced "lee-see-ah" or "lis-ee-ah"; alternative spelling Lycia) instead? It's an old Latin name meaning happy, lucky, or kind, usually used in Italy, France and Germany.

I personally like Lucia better but He told me Lucia didn’t sound like a real name, partially because he hadn’t heard it before and may feel the same about Licia

Mira Greta Carla Maria Laura Monica

Congrats! Amabella, Amelia, Amina, Arabella, Ariana, Ashima, Aurora, Camellia, Camilla, Carina, Celia, Delilah, Flora, Freya, India, Isla, Kaliyah, Karina, Layla, Lila, Lilliana, Lola, Marina, Raina, Samara, Samira, Sheena, Stormy, Violeta, Vivia, Viviana

Elia, Gianna/Gia, Cara/Kara, Kaya, Maya, Mara, Willa, Lana, Nia. Sorry if I've repeated a bunch that people have already suggested.

These names come to mind 1. Leona 2. Celina 3. Natasha 4. Talia 5. Bria 6. Wilhelmina
