Amali, Mali, Alani or Imani???

[Two Possums]

We are still quite undecided on names, although we have kinda stuck with ones that we have liked from the start, but just changed spelling and letters etc..

We sort of have a boys name (Charlie) and are still just deciding on a middle name.

But for a girl, I am still unsure.........

Which sounds best???
Amali, Imani or Alani or Mali??
And would Mali with two i's be weird? Malii

Amali Noa
Mali Aurelia


Help and suggestions please!

I like Amali. I think Malii would be a bit strange but perhaps that is because I am used to scientific animal names. If she was a species we would say 'Ma li eye' IYKWIM.

I like Alani ... I know a bit different but I met an ' Alana ' the other day

[Laranna]

I like Mali, it sounds very calm.

[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

Amali. I love that name!

[Willow]

I was going to say Alani but I actually think Mali sounds better with your other DD's name.

The only thing that comes to mind with Marli is that new move Marley and Me - isn't Marley the dog?? Might not bother you and in any event, I doubt it's going to be a block buster that sticks in people's minds for years to come! LOL.

You can also spell it Maali.

I like Amali the best

I think Marli with 2 i's would not begood

[Beckibee]

I have a friend with that name and she's very calm and beautiful Her spelling is 'Marli' however.

I love Mali and can also be spelt Maly

I like Amali and Mali, although I would prob spell Mali as Mahli or Mahlie- I just prefer the 'h' in there- although its not necessary. I would add an 'e' before I added a second letter 'i'. For example- Malie.

Very cute names.
