Which is your favourite girls name?

With big sister Isabel Sofia?

-Anna Carolina (Ann-nah Caro-Lee-na)

-Leah Juliana (Lee-ah Julie-Ahna)- Juliana is pronounced like it is in Portuguese, we prefer it over the Spanish pronounciation.

-Natalia (Nah-tahl-ee-ah) - Don't have a middle name yet, any suggestions?

Dh's background is Chilean and mine is Portuguese, and we would really love to use names that honour both our backgrounds. Leah is the odd one out, but we love the sound of it, and we prefer the Anna spelling over Ana.

Thank you so much :)

With Isabel - I love Natalia

I do like the name Leah - but I don't think it is a great match with Isabel - Isabel is a little more formal so Natalia is a perfect match.

Natalia Rosalind

Natalia Ines

Natalia Emerald

Natalia Corazon

Natalia Ester

Natalia Raquel


Good luck!!!

What a beautiful name- Isabel Sofia-

I like all of the combos with it, but I REALLY love the name Natalia.

-Anna Carolina (Ann-nah Caro-Lee-na)

-Leah Juliana (Lee-ah Julie-Ahna)- Juliana is pronounced like it is in Portuguese, we prefer it over the Spanish pronounciation.

-Natalia (Nah-tahl-ee-ah) - Don't have a middle name yet, any suggestions?

I was going to rate them, but it was too tough!

I guess the only real opinion I have is that I love the name Leah. Anna is very pretty, but not as elegant as Isabel. Carolina or Juliana is a gorgeous mn, so gorgeous in fact, that I prefer them as fn too. What about Leah Marguerite, Juliana Pilar, , Juliana Elise/Elisa, Leah Mariana(marr-ee-ahna), Carolina Estelle?

With Natalia- Natalia Corinne(cor-rynn), Natalia Danielle, Natalia Aurora, Natalia Carmen, Natalia Pilar, Natalia Elaine, Natalia Carina?

The most important thing for you to know is that all the names on your list are fantastic with big sis! Good luck, Ginger

I know a little girl from (I think) Chile named Eliana/Iliana (I think she spells it with an E). I was just thinking if you like Leah, you could use a full name like that to honor your heritage and use the nn Lia/Leah. Just a thought! :)

Thanks everyone. Eliana is a beautiful suggestion, I'll keep that one in mind. Dh now wants to add Liliana back on, pronounced Lily-Ahna.

So it's back to:

Anna

Leah

Natalia

Liliana

It's so hard to narrow it down!
