Leyna Lillian for girl?
| Fri, 11-03-2006 - 11:44am |
My husband and I are still battling it out on girl names, I want something meaningful, possibly to honor my German heritage. He likes Leah, which I think pretty, but too bland. What do you think about Leyna Lillian Carr? Lillian is after my grandma. Leyna is old german and means Little Angel.
Other ideas:
Brielle Lillian Carr
Bridget Lillian Carr
Shaina Lillian Carr
Brynlee Lillian Carr

I think Leyna is beautiful, but I'm not sure I'd pair it with Lillian - too many Ls.
One of my favorite German names is Gisela (ghee-suh-lah), which means pledge. I think that would sound nice with Lillian.
Others:
Adelle (noble, kind)
Emera (leader)
Galena (high one)
Greta (short form of Margaret)
Brielle and Bridget are also nice, but not German
AJ, enjoying life with C.
Leyna Lillian - it does have a lot of Ls but alliteration isn't always bad; I think I would keep it on the list
Brielle Lillian Carr - the Ls bother me more here because the "elle" runs into the "Lill" and they sound so much alike
Bridget Lillian Carr
I love Leah. I find it so classy and beautiful, not plain at all.
Leyna Lillian is very "L" heavy and Leyna seems more like a nn to me. I much prefer Alaina/Elena Lillian, but even then the flow with Lillian is not great due to the repetition of the L's.
Brielle Lillian Carr- again, too L heavy, and Brielle seems unclassy to me
Bridget Lillian Carr- Like this a lot
Shaina Lillian Carr- Like this
Brynlee Lillian Carr- seems very trendy and made up (and L heavy)
I would avoid a name beginning in L or having a prominent L in it. My favourite of the list is Leah, but since I don't like the flow of Leah Lillian, the next best is Bridget.

I really like the name Laina, Elaina or Elena.
