BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Baby Names I need help with a name for a baby girl

I'm 19 and expecting my first child.I plan to name her Amelia Jayne (pronounced Jane, not Jay-ne).I want to call her Mia.But I'm trying to find a name I would like better..I want it to be unique but not complicated.I'm into celtic/gaelic/irish/scottish things but those names are never pronounced like they are spelled and I don't want her to be confused in school.

Hi, I am using my granddaughter`s name as my username. I was horrified when my daughter announced her intention to use that name. It is pronounced onya not enya. I had visions of her being teased with a scots phrase `On yer bike` when she went to school. In my day that would have happened. However it didn`t. I love the name now and it just so suits her. It is Irish, her sister is Roisin. also Irish. good luck with your baby

I really like the names you have, and if you aren't completely sold on Amelia, you could always make her given name "Mia," like the actress.

If you are looking for something unusual, how about Valancy? or Kimeley (although not everyone may get it right the first time: kim-eh-lee)? They both sound nice with Jayne, though I prefer Rose.

Congradulations on the baby, I'm sure you'll both be happy with whatever name you decide on.

Niamh, Keelia, is it pronounced Kee Lee Ah?

"Niamh, Keelia, is it pronounced Kee Lee Ah?"

yes it is. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


"I like the name, Niamh (Neev, right Niamh)?"

No, it's Nee-av, but close enough. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I've heard of some Niamhs who pronounce it Neev though, so I can understand the confusion, lol.

How about Zariah(ZAh-REE-AH). We have a 3 year old in out family with that name and everyone loves her and her name. She get compliments on it all the time.

I like the names Akasha and Kiara.

How 'bout Larseeva, Briana, Gruna, Lilian, Modonna, or Nekia <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />
