What are your opinions on these two names?

Leah Alexandra (Lee-ah)
Liliana Sofia (Lily-Ahna)

Thank you :)

In my opinion-

Alexandria sounds pretty long for a middle name (especially paired with a 2-syllabil first).

I really like the second. Both names are very feminine and nice sounding :)

Hi Sara, We don't like Alexandria actually, we only like Alexandra which isn't as long :)

Ahhh... I see...

I still like your second choice. I LOVE both of those names. I may use Sofia (or Sophia) in my DD's name. It sounds very feminine and like a beautiful little girl. A bit Italian :)

I do like Leah also though. But Leah Sofia rhymes so I can see why you split them up :) Good Luck!

I vote for Leah Alexandra. I love Leah and it is easy but definitely not overused or "trendy". (and I have a new little neice named Alexandra ;) ). Either way, both are pretty names, good luck!

I love both of the first names, you can't go wrong either way. I'm not very fond of either of the mns though. I think that I don't like that they all end in an A.

I'm only so-so on the name Leah. But I really like Liliana Sofia!

*Leah Alexandra (Lee-ah)

Both are good solid name choices, but they don't flow well together.

*Liliana Sofia (Lily-Ahna)

I like the name Liliana, it's a solid name. I'd rather see Sofia spelled Sophia. Sophia is a solid name as well, but the name instantly conjures up images of poodles and dog shows in my mind. IOW, it is a show poodle's name, and I don't like poodles. It also conjures up WWI for me since Franz Ferdinand's "lovely wife Sofia" was assassinated along with him to spark the Great War.

I really like them both. Your dd might run into more Lilis & Anas/Annas which might make Leah more unique. But both Leah & Liliana are very pretty & they both go nicely w/ those mns. Hard to choose.
