10 weeks to go and no girls name chosen!

Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m expecting a little girl in July. I have an older daughter who is 3 and we have zero suitable names for our new baby. Literally zero.


I like Mahalia and Samara, as does my partner but one is incredibly similar to our first daughters name (Aaliyah) and one is a close family friend who doesn’t like her name at all!


Can anyone suggest something similar?


Thank you!

I love your chosen names and neither of them are too close to your baby IMO. Mahalia is another great singer too.


Else - Zafiya, Zadie, Xolanie, Yolanda, Yael (I know one in real life - beautiful), Vivienne, Uma, Quinn.

I love both Mahalia and Samara - but I agree that Mahalia is probably too close to your daughter's name. You could also use Samira or Samaire as an alternative to Samara.


Other suggestions: Amali, Radha, Kailani, Katia, Xanthe, Ebony, Saskia.

Samara works beautifully with Aaliyah, so I'd reconsider if it's a name you really like, even if your friend doesn't like her name. Tamara is an obvious alternative; there's also Tamar, which I think fits a bit better with Aaliyah. I like a PP's suggestion of Samira.


Mahalia is certainly similar to Aaliyah but only you can decide if it's too close. It might depend on how you pronounce them: Ma-HAH-lia and Uh-lee-uh would be okay to me, but not Ma-HAY-lia and AY-lia.


Some other ideas: Serena, Selena, Rhianna, Vanessa, Laetitia, Mariah, Ziva, Nia, Danica, Lola, Miranda, Savannah

I really, really wanted Aaliya and was vetoed. I also love: Aleema, Amina, Samayra, Amayra, Alina , Mia, Ava and Hannah.


Maybe one of those would work?

If DS2 was a girl, he would have been Mara, so I came in to suggest that. Zara was another that I liked that seems to fit.


My other girl names have all been mentioned on here :)
