Very beautiful name.

It's beautiful. I don't usually like Alina - it feels too wispy, too thin - but Vashti grounds it. A mesmerizing, very well-balanced combination.

I agree with Chloë. Maybe Elina Vashti would be better? (I love Vashti!)

I love Vashti but Alina doesn't work with it for me. Alina feels so anemic and makes Vashti look insubstantial somehow. Alina Vashti is wispy and alien-ethereal, which may be your thing! Very fae.

For me, Alena Vashti is better, has a bit more presence.

---

It's a cool combo though!

Alina Vashti is so pretty! I’ve been fond of Alina since I was a child. Vashti is beautiful and you never hear it, which is amazing to me.

I like Vashti but don't like Alina, don't like the sound a lee na

I love Alina!

I have a Vashti in my family tree, born in the late 1800s. I think it's an interesting name (in a good way).

The combo Alina Vashti has a nice flow to it.

Don't care for Vashti, but absolutely *love* Alina. I find it absolutely gorgeous and certainly refreshing. The first time I ever came across this stunning name was while reading the Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo years back, then later the short-lived Netflix series. I fell in love with the name instantaneously.

Love Vashti but find Alina boring.

I like the combo. Alina Vashti has a good blend of femininity and mystery. Vashti is a rarely used Biblical name so it's an unusual and unexpected choice for a middle name. I think it makes Alina sound even more exotic.
