Hi all.

My last name is Cohen. We named our first daughter Rosalie Faye Cohen. We call her Rosie.

For Daughter 2 who is due in 2 weeks, we're thinking Alaia Hope Cohen. Alaia means "sublime" in Arabic. It is pronounced a-LYE-a.

What do you think of the name Alaia and how does it go with Rosie? Rosie and Alaia? Rosie is 2 years older, BTW.

And we would be open to calling her a nickname like "Allie".

LOVE it! The full names work well together as well as the nicknames. Congrats on baby number two.

I think both names are lovely...they stand out just a bit from the trends, but they're not "look at me, look at me!" They're just uncommon and lovely and feminine.

Perfect choices, I love them as well. Rosalie is a favorite of mine, we were thinking of using it as a mn.
