Amali, Mali, Alani or Imani???

[Frangipani]

I like Amali and Mali.

What are there meanings? Where are the middle names from (like are they family names or just other names you like)?

[Kitt3n]

i like Alani. Mali means "little" in most slavic languages

[~Kim~]

Amali Noa is beautiful.

[MusicMuma]

I love Mali Noa. I actually love the name Noa, its always been in my list for girls!

[Junglemum]

i like Mali too, i know a girl who spells it Marli. I kinda like the r. The two ii's is a bit Hawaii for me! But of course it's up to you.

[Mumma2three]

What about Mahalia? Then Mali for short?

[Becky29]

I think Alani is beautiful. You could call her Lani for short which is very cute.

Thanks Girls!

Even though I am now more confused, I think I can rule out Imani, and settle on Noa as the middle name. Aurelia is a name that I love whenever I happen to watch "Love Actually", and I watched a new release dvd the other day that had colin firth and helen hunt in it, and when I was watching the credits there was a Aurelia in it!! My middle name is Lee, which is not something that I love.
DD is Tahlia Alyza.

Now it we just have to decide between Amali, Mali or Alani??

I feel like Mali sounds calm too...kind of chilled out I guess.


Hope you girls are having more luck!

Amali Noa

Mali Noa

Alani Noa

DH is most keen on Mali, and doesn't like Alani at all. He doesn't mind Noa, he has much stronger opinions about a boys name!


Okay, this is totally hilarious, but I just checked the meaning for Mali on the best website ever (Behind the Name - the Etymology and History of First Names), and Mali is actually HAWAIIAN FOR CALM! This has to be a sign! Good Guess whoever thought it sounded calm!

Noa is Japanese for "Love and Affection", although I think that there are other meanings too.
