  • I couldn't vote. There was no "none of the above" option. Sorry, OP.

    Also, are you sure you don't mean Anadelia? Because I sure hope you're not spelling a name the mispronounced way on purpose.

  • Anadilya or Anadilia is a Spanish name very commonly used in Guatemala where my husband is from and a female family name. I did not intentend it to be Anadelia.Maybe I should have clarified that we are using Spanish names above. All of which except Nova are.
  • there is no history for those names listed on behind the name
  • Of those choices, Briella is the best. But I prefer Brielle over Briella
  • I'm not sure what behind the name is. These are all legitimate names not made up. Anyway Briella is a form of American name Gabrielle. Nayeli(Na Yel E) means I love you and is a Native Indian name used in Central America and Mexico. Anadilya/Anadilia is also a Spanish name meaning independant. Nova is an American/Native American name.

    I found Nova, Starla, and Briella on there. Guatemala wasn't one of the countries listed on behind the name though.
    I love Starla.

  • There a little too different for my taste, but I voted Nova. I think it's pretty and wouldn't lead to pronounciation issues, like most of the others.

    Ifyou have Spanish or native heritage that's awesome. I would find using a heavily Spanish or native name very awkward if you are not connected to the culture.
  • Nova, hands down. I think a shorter name is a good idea with a three syllable last name.

  • @wassuphoes my children are considered half hispanic and they are of Mayan descent. @clairbear90 I see your point about the syllables. Some of them can be a mouth full.

    Ah, that clarification helps a lot!!
  • Given the cultural background, I voted Nayeli. That spelling. I think Nayely would be an awkward and confusing Anglicization.

    I think Nayeli is probably a little easier for Americans over Anadilya. I would puck either Nayeli, Nova, or Gabriella. names with the Brie sound (except for Brianna ironically enough ) are very trendy right now. Gabriella would be a less timestamped name compared to Briella.

  • Nayeli so long as you spell it this way. We had a little girl with this name in one of the Sunday school classes at church I taught and she was a hoot, so I have great associations with the name :)

  • I think I like Nayeli the best (spelled this way).  I like Nova as well, but if you are of Latin descent, you might want to consider what "No Va" means in Spanish and if you think kids would tease her for that name. But otherwise, I like that name as well.

  • I didn't vote for any. I dont like them.

    Nova may be ok but I'm undecided.
  • Nova or Briella

  • I voted for Nova, but I do like Starla, Briella, and Nayeli, too. I'm unfamiliar with Anadilya but if it's more common in your area I see no issue with it; it looks pretty :)
