Australian/New Zealand Baby Name

[-Willow-]

My cousin is due in a couple of months and is still stuck for a name for her little princess. She has told me she likes a few names (Tiyla, Soraya and Mali) but she is off them now. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas for names. The Last name is pronounced He-row-ee-ne. My cousins middle name is her mothers name, maria - so maybe maria or even maree for a middle name.

Thanks in advance.

Here's what i came up with;

Arana Maree Herewini
Amira Grace Herewini
Teanna Eve Herewini

They're all pretty names - you could swap the first and middle names around as well.

I used to have a great NZ baby name book, but don't anymore. Do you want a Maori name?

A few Maori and Polynesian names to consider:

Jaimia
Aroha
Pania
Manaia
Amiria
Roimata
Mahina

Google is a great place to find more Good luck with helping your cousin find the right name.

Apparently the only two Australian baby names (according to the books we read) are Kylie and Narelle. My MIL's name is Narelle. I won't be using it!

My friend just had a baby, she is from NZ and living in Australia. She called her little girl "Nyah Te Atawhai" due to its meaning.
I like Nyah Maree.

I met a little girl once called Atahua. Its a Maori name, but I can't remember the meaning. Beautiful I think.... ?

I'll have a sneaky look at SIL's friends on FB..she's Maori, lol!

Aroha
Atamira
Ihia
Pera
Newa
Matauranga
Rangituhi
Taurima
Waiata
Waitangi

Just a few idea's. I'm sure you could find meanings if you looked them up?
Good luck
