A few different girl names

dale05 · October 2009

Just looking at girl names again and found a few that I hadn't heard before and that I don't mind. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

Kaiya (or Kiya or Kaia)
Lana (would you pronounce this with long a or short a?)
Tahlia (or Talia)

I know 2 different Lana's. One rhymes with banana and the other is lah-nah.

Kaiya (or Kiya or Kaia)- NMS, and I'm seeing a lot more of it lately

Lana (would you pronounce this with long a or short a?)- You'll probably get 50/50 of Lane-a and Lah-na. Looks sort of like a NN, but it's not bad. If you want Lane-a, I'd considering spelling it "Laina" or some other way to be clear.

Tahlia (or Talia)- I like Talia better than with the "h"

<edit> format and clarity... Wink

I like Lana and I would pronounce it as Lane-a

Kaiya/Kiya/Kaia is NMS

I like Lana, and I would pronounce it lah-na (the one Lana I know pronounces it that way)

I like Talia.

I love Lana and Tahlia (I'd pronounce is La-nuh). I also love the name Dahlia, so that's probably why I like the h in it.

Kaiya-NMS. It's like Kaylee, Kylie, Kalya to me. One of the thousand names that starts with a K and has a y in it.

Lana-I'd say Lahn-uh. I went to HS with a girl with this name. She wasn't very nice and I was secretly pleased to find out that she developed a beer gut when she went to college. Gosh, I'm mean, aren't I? Stick out tongue

Tahlia-I prefer the spelling Talia. I think it's cute as a nn for Natalia but I don't like it as a name on it's own. Out of the three names you listed, this one would be my favorite.

I have a second cousin named Kaia. It's okay.
I only know one Lana (a middle-aged woman), who pronounces it Lah-na. I like that, but dislike Lane-a.
Talia is a beautiful name.

GL!

I like Lana with a long a. But I know someone with a daughter named Lana [short a] and I can never remember how to prononuce it and ultimately pronounce it wrong and he always corrects me. I don't know, I wouldn't want to have to constantly correct people on how to say my child's name [and for the child later on to do the same] but its just a thought...
