Middle name for Aya please

I love Elspeth. I haven't seen Elsbeth so much, but heck, yes, why not? It's so pretty.

Thanks all :)

Aya Rose

I know Rose is a super common middle name now, but I think it goes really nicely with Aya.

Louise, Lucy, Cleo, Caprice.

HELP!

I'm having second thoughts about this name because it is pronounce eye-uh, which is how we say ire. I don't want to sound like I'm saying ire when I call out her name. Did you think of this? I'm also worried it is too simple. I like the sound, but the association with ire is making me very uncomfortable.

Be honest please!

Aya Lauren
Aya Kate

I wouldn't think that. Didn't even consider it until your post.

My first thought for a middle name was Maree. Aya Maree.

I think that people who don't know will say Aay -uh

Aya is a lovely name! I don't think many people would come up with the association to 'ire' - I didn't until I saw your question. Ire is also probably one of those words that's pronounced a bit differently by different accents depending on if they say the 'r' as an 'r' if you know what I mean. It may be that it's only our aussie accent that make them sound similar.

Of the middle names suggested I like

Aya Louise
Aya Elsbeth

No...because I pronounce "ire" as "eye-er", and that name as"eye-ah"...it is a subtle difference, but ire would never have occured to me had you not said it. :)

I think that most people would pronouce it Aay-uh. I don't think the connection to ire is too great - not a problem for me. Though I know where you are coming from - I ruled out Noah as I didn't like that the name starts with No (as opposite to yes)

I like the idea of using a "virtue" name and continuing the "theme" from Grace. Faith is nice, but I also like Prudence, Charity, Constance, Patience, Trinity. I don't think you could use Honour though!

Love Hadassah.
