Baby Girl Name - Essex Junction,VT

We're expecting our second daughter July 3 and having trouble with names. We tend to like feminine Slavic names - our first is named Nadia. For our second I like Sonya, Karina, and Darya. Thoughts? Also, my husband hasn't rejected these but isn't sold on them either and he so far likes Ella but isn't sold on that either. I"m wondering if there are neat ways to combine any of my choices with his for a middle name. Suggestions? Thanks!

What can I do next?

I personally do not like those names together. Too much" a" for me. I do like the suggestion of anya. Thay sounds pretty to me!

What about Anya? It is almost a combination of the sounds of all the names you have considered? I also like Ella Karina. Good luck!

My daughters name is Ella :)

Be careful though, it is super popular right now.

I know someone who combine her name and her husbands- Leslie & Mark, and named their daughter Markley. I loved that name!

I've gotta be honest...the only name you mentioned (or that anyone has suggested so far) that I like is Ella.

What about Carissa? Ella Marie is really cute.
Dava is Slavic. Also Mila.

I like Darya, we almost named our daughter Darya (or Daria), but ended up not. Similar is Daryl (like Daryl Hannah)...or Dhariana...but you have to think of the playground implication (Diarrea?)...but its kind of like Rhianna...Rhianna Elle sounds pretty...point is if you do the first name ending in a, try Elle for the middle instead of Ella - like Elle MacPherson. Good luck!

I like Ella and Karina. I also like Natalia and Natasha a lot, but I don't know if they are too similar to Nadia for you.

I think Karina is very pretty. We know a lot of Ellas and Emmas, so I'd pick something a little different.

You need to see how a first and middle name go with your last name. But I do like Sonya. Middle name... what about Elena? It's a variant of Ella and has a musical flow to it.

My SIL names her daughter Saige...and threw in the "i" at the hospital. I joke with her that her teachers are going to think she is East Indian because of their last name....Sande...and because they live in an area with massive amounts of diverse populations. Looks like "Sai-E-gEE San-Dee" instead of "Sage Sandy".

BUT what I thought was cool was that she took her name, Lisa, and her mom's name, Diane, to make a middle name of: Lianne.

Hope that helps and congratulations!
