Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me find a girl middle name. I am of Russian desccent, and we decided that if we have a baby girl (my EDD is April 30) we will name her Yana. Middle name - another story... we have NO IDEA!! we don't want the middle name to be russian, any name that goes with Yana will do. So - Yana .....???? IF you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thank you!

Hello and congrats on expecting.


Yana is a beautiful choice.


I think you should select a mn of equal beauty, and find one that has some significance.


There are many lovely names with great meanings. Perhaps that is the answer for you!


Here are some that came to mind for me-


Yana Bridget "strong woman/divine goddess"


Yana Alison- "noble"


Yana Maeve- "queen"


Yana Vivian- "lively"


Yana Rae- like a ray of sunshine


Yana Millicent- "kind-hearted"


Yana Camille- "pure/virtuous"


Yana Josephine- "blessed/The Lord blesses"


Yana Celeste- "heavenly"


Yana Valerie- "strong"


Yana Ellen- "bright, shining"


Yana Margaret- "pearl"


Yana Jolie- "pretty"


Yana Joy


Yana Bliss- "immense happiness"


Yana Felicity- "utter joy"


Yana Esther/Estelle- "star"


Let us know what you decide!

Thank you so much for your ideas ladies!! we will be discussing them with DH tomorrow!

I love the name Yana too, I also thought it would be nice to name my little girl that. Then, a few days ago, I went on the internet and googled it (looking for name ideas, of course :) - and it returned with many search pages for YANA, a support group for cancer surivors, which stands for You Are Not Alone. I cried when I saw that - I lost my mom to cancer 6 years ago when I was 22, and to me the name Yana with this extra special meaning rings so much strings in my soul - I want her to have that name so that she knows that she is never alone. It became all the more special to me when I found out about this abbreviation.

Thanks again!!

I thought it would be impossible for me and DH to come to an agreement - I was wrong!! We've narrowed it down to two choices so far:

Yana Katherine
Yana Marie

Comments: My name is Kate/Ekaterina, DH thinks it would be a nice way to use my name for a middle name. I like both - I like Yana Marie maybe even more than Yana Katherine, but our last name begins with an M too - will it be two weird to have two Ms in the initials?

What do you think?

I like Katherine, because it sounds good and has personal significance.
