What do you think of these names for baby girl?

[Anonymous]

I like Amalia.

I like Lina better than Lana, but you didn't ask about that!

Alexandra.

Lana and Fiona are my favorites.

Honestly, I like all of those names fine. Amalia was on our short list (for the famous fado singer), and I love Annemarie (but it was the name of one of my husband's exes, so we ruled it out). Simone and Lana are my least favorites. Juliet is also good.

Fiona sounds awful if said in an upset voice or repeated.

I like your first three plus Amelia.

Huh, I'm not a Fiona fan but not sure what you're getting at in the least.

I wish I knew more little Simones. I think it's fantastic.

Lana feels like half a name to me.

Like Josephine, Juliet, Fiona, Alexandra, and Amelia. Nice list!

Josephine - cute. I know one called Joey.
Juliet - pretty
Simone - makes me think it's for a black girl
Lana - siren
Amelia - Bedelia
Amalia - never
Alexandra - lots of little Alexas and Alexs (girls) now
Annemarie - with two words, yes
Fiona - cute and underdone

Amalia will constantly be misspelled. Take it from someone who grew up with a kreeativ name: Don't do it. I don't care if it IS a Spanish name. We aren't in Spain.

Amalia is phonetic in English.

I like Fiona best, then Amelia. These thoughts are both probably goofy, but Lana sounds very 80s to me for some reason, and Josephine I would think there was a strong chance her dad was a Joseph who wanted a son (although it doesn't have that ring quite as much as some of the other female variants on common male names). Amalia I would think would be dealing with people having trouble pronouncing her name for all her life, so I would probably rule it out for that reason, but I know some people don't find that a big deal, and it seems pretty otherwise.

How about the other names? What race of girl do you think they're for?

It's not a "kreeative" name if it's the legitimate spelling of a name in another language. It may be misspelled, but it's not made-up. Amalia is a name in German (Freud's mother was named Amalia), Portugese, Italian, Sweden, Spanish, etc. That said, it may be more likely to be misspelled because it is close to a better-known name, Amelia.

I know three baby Simones and they are all white.

Makes no difference. People will assume Amelia but misspelled.
