I think I swore I would never make a post like this!  But, within the next few weeks sometime I'm having a baby [unknown gender]!  Yay! We have our boys name, and have had it for years, its been set in stone since the birth of my s/o, Arthur!  (He is the 4th, so this baby, if a boy, will be the 5th).

But you know, We cannot decide on a girls name.   Myself, I could come up with NO ideas at all.  I'm blank.  But Arthur spent last night looking for names he likes.

So that's where you come in!  I need opinions on these names.  I like some of them, some not so much.  I just would like to see how people around my kid would think of my kids name if I were to choose from here!  Make sense? OK!  Here is the email Arthur sent me last night:

First names I like [fully debatable]:
Azura | Azora
- Arabic / Spanish for 'blue' Can't use 'Azula' now, so these work
Eavan [pronounced?]- Irish for 'fair'
Calista | Calixta - Greek for 'most beautiful'
Calidora - Variant of 'Callidora', Greek for 'gift of beauty' My favorite
Czarina - Russian for 'queen / empress'
Cira | Cyra | Cyrra - Variant of 'Cyrilla', greek for 'lady'
Diza [dee-sah] - Hebrew for 'joyful'
Deyanira | Deianira - Greek for "devastating, capable of great destruction". Greco-Roman mythology: the wife of Hercules, who managed to kill him by trickery. 
Delaina - German for 'noble protector'
Giselle - Old German for 'pledge' or 'hostage' 
 
 
Middle Names [none of these are debatable, sorry]:
Desdemona - Greek for 'unhappy'
Belladonna - Italian for 'beautiful lady/beautiful woman'
Ultima - Greek for 'last, ultimate, final'
Deyanira | Deianira
Atalanta - Greek for 'mighty huntress'. Greco-Roman Mythology: an athletic young woman who refuses to marry any man who could not outrun her in a footrace

 

So, which of the first names do you like, and which of the middle names to go with it? 

Edit to add the poll... so it's easier to respond =x

At first, when reading these, I thought they were a little different... but I think I really like Calidora.  The more I say it the more I like it.

I voted for Cira because I really liked the meaning! I love all the uniqueness! :) I also like the Belladonna go to with it! I don't know there's something really strong and beautiful about the names and their meanings! :)

 Congratulations and best wishes!

I like Azora.

I'm partial to bella, my youngest is Sonora Bella. it translates in most all romance languages to beautiful sonora. and we call her bella more often than sonora.

I like Cira Bella or Delaina Bella, again, I'm biased.
