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

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'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.
