Traditional girls names ending in a

We still haven't got our girls name organised yet and it is starting to drive me insane. I keep looking at different lists and keep finding the same names and thought maybe you lovely ladies might have some suggestions outside of the top 100 lists.

The top 3 I like are Olivia, Amelia and Eliza. However we wonder if Olivia is too popular at the moment, Amelia is a bit wishy washy and I like Eliza but can't quite convince DH of that one.

We like girls names that end in a or "ah" sound, are traditional, that are strong but still feminine and will travel well during childhood into adulthood. The middle name will be Jane and our last name has 3 syllables.

Thanks for your ideas.

My daughter is
Emilia - It is the Italian version of Emily.

*sings* Oh Eliza.. lil Liza Jane...

hahah... yes.. I can mock it.. coz I'm Elizabeth Jane! ;) And when I didn't do my piano practice my teacher called me Eliza Dolittle. pfft.

I quite like Amelia... I haven't heard of any around here, and I don't think it sounds wishywashy :)

Another version of Amelia is AMALIA which sounds very nice too.:D

Amaya
Nikita
Mia
Shayla

Kayla
Rosanna

Jessica

my girls are Maria and Sofia, I also like Lucia

Oh Liz thanks for the heads up on the song didn't know about that. Just had a look on You Tube and at least its not a bad song. On a positive note least it means the 2 names go together well enough to be put in a song :lol:

I like the suggestions of Anna, Eva and Jacinta

Keep them coming.

Thanks

I also love names that carry from baby to child to adult...

Something "Cute and Sweet" when they're young like "Awww look at little baby _____ she's so adorable!"

But "Strong, Mature & Classy" when they're adults - A name you could take seriously on the door of an office one day!

Good Luck!

Oh I love Eliza but DH doesnt...

Amber. I know its an ER but sounds like an a or ah...

I also like Bianca

Anna (obviously), but Hannah is nice too.

My DD is Louisa.

I wanted Olivia, but my brother is Oliver, so we thought it was a bit close.

I love Eliza (but my sister is Elizabeth!)

ETA: I also like Rebecca

I love Olivia and even though I have heard it around a fair bit and seen it on the top of the names lists lately, I really havent come across too many...besides my dd and one other at her day care.

So I have an Olivia and Rebecca and I am a Melissa ( I wonder what we'll call our next girl!).

I like Mikhaela, Anna, ...its hard. Good luck.

And I love the middle name...we were going to use Jane for Becca but she got my mums name. Rebecca Jane is a lovely combo:)

How about Rebekah...

Georgia
Alexandra
Edwina
Camilla
Nicola - (highly underated methinks!)

Thanks for all the great ideas.

Names like Edwina, Nicola, Louisa and Ilana are what I was looking for as I just keep seeing the same names over and over so I thought you might be able to give me some traditional names that had dropped out of the popular lists to think about.

Rebecca and Georgia are lovely but already names of family members.

I like Bianca, Alana, Julia, Tamara, Samara, Talia and Eva. The more I have thought about it today the more I really like Eliza. Then the nick names could be Ellie, Ella, or Liza. DH doesn't like it because I called my first car "Eliza" and apparently that now rules it out as a baby name. I said that just proves how much I liked the name and had I known that back in 1995 I wouldn't have called the car that!!! Maybe have to work on bringing him around.

Adriana, Alicia, Aaliyah
