I like the SOUND of the 1st name you've chosen but I think it should be spelled Anamaria so she doesn't run into confusion about the pronunciation of her name later in life.

Like the pps, Anamireya just looks and sounds a lot like Ana Maria (although I would assume Mireya was pronounced like Mireia), so it kind of looks confusing and made-up -- even if it isn't (it does sound like it might have Spanish origins).

As to the other options, Aracely is by far my favorite. Beautiful. ;) Jazlynn, on the other hand, looks like a misspelling of either Jasmine or Jocelyn (or a combination of both LOL), not to mention the word "jazz," so it kind of looks like something the parents might make up just because they think it sounds "cool." NMSAA

Isabella is ok, although very over-used, but I wouldn't use the Izabella spelling unless you're Polish or something. Otherwise it just looks like you tried to change the spelling of a very-popular, very-common name, KWIM? With the ln Melendez, I'd definitely expect it to be Isabela or Isabella. You may also like Maribel.

I agree that Anamireya just looks funny spelt that way, I like it better Anamaria or Anamira. I like Aracely and Isabella (I think Isabelle sounds better with Sophia though)

I would spell it Ana-Mariah and leave out the middle name...it is too long. A double name instead of a first and middle name would work.
I like Aracely as well.

I think Anamireya is setting that little girl for a lifetime of pronouncing her name for everyone. If unusual is what your going for that is definetely unusual, but think how she will feel in school when she is constantly spelling her name for everyone. Something to think about.

I had to stop and really think about pronouncing almost all of those names!
