My husband and I are having a very difficult time coming up with a girl's name for our very soon to be girl/boy twins. We are both Iranians and are looking for an international name that will sound good in any language (like my name:
Laila). We have decided on
Kian for our son, which is both Persian and Gaelic (and short and sweet).
To give you a better idea about our taste, here are a few names, we've talked about, but have not fallen in love with:
Sophia- Currently our top pick, but too popular
Ella- my husband thinks it sounds too much like
AllahArianna-he likes, but reminds me of
Arianna Huffington
Sarai-I would like it to be pronounced with long a, but it wont be.
Ava-too popular
Ida- eh
We are not looking for anything too Arabic, but we have though of something like
Norah, which is used in more cultures now.
Looking forward to your help. Thanks,
Laila
