Thoughts on Lani....

[Faithful Mumma]

Okay, the Girls name debate is still raging around here!

We still have Amali Neve & Emmerson Mia on the list, but DH and I were talking in bed the other night (we always seem to talk about names just before we go to sleep!) and I mentioned how I had always liked the name Lani, and DH said he also liked it, and it was up there with Amali...

So, what are your thoughts on Lani (pronounced Lar-nee)

It would possibly be

Lani Neve
Lani Ava
or
Lani Mia

[Taurean]

Love it! All your choices are beautiful

[~Trish~]

I love Lani, that's the nickname we give our daughter Alana She gets "Lani" more than her full name!

[Arimeh]

I went to school with someone called Lani and we never really got along.. so its spoiled the name for me!! (sorry!)

[Frantelle]

Love it

[Rowellen]

I like it. I think Lani Mia goes best.

[DiannaQ]

Love it - although I would use a 1 syllable middle name

Lani Jayde
Lani Grace

Nice name - I think I like it more than Amali - which is odd considering we had Amelia on the very top of our list for a very long time

ETA - just notice your suggestion of Neve as a middle name - that's nice too

[~Kim~]

I think it's beautiful.

I agree with the single syllable middle name though.

[Blixie]

love Love LOVE Lani but DF doesn't I really like Lani Ava, beautiful

[Sibbie]

I know a Lani (but she spells it Larni) and a Liani (lee-ah-nee)

I like Lani Neve, it's a pretty name

[smiles4u]

as soon as i saw the two names Lani & Neve i instantly thought why not Lanineve or Lanieve

I really DO like Lani Neve

[Faithful Mumma]

Thanks for all your thoughts everyone!

I think Lani has hit the top of the list, especially as DD has been going around saying it is going to be Elijah for a boy, and Lani for a Girl...I love the ways she says both names, and it has stuck in my head now...more than Amali had. and DH really likes it too... nice to feel a bit sorted name wise!

[starangelk]

We almost used this name We both really liked it and were planning to spell it Larni but then at the last minute DH and I went cold on it.

[Isadora]

All of the names you have are so beautiful and feminine. Also I have a friend who has a daughter 'Lilarni' and she gets 'Lani' or 'Lil' for short, theres another option

[KristyG]

My friends Niece is a Lani but its spelt "Larni" and her middle name is Winter.

I think its a very pretty name and I like "Lani Ava" the best.

Also really love your other two names! Amali and Emmerson are on our list but I can't get DH onto Amali - he doesnt like it lol

[Lani81]

Haha I think it's a great name! Lol. But be warned, people will call her laney. People always pronounce my name that way and it drives me mental. I don't like the spelling of Larni tho, makes it sound harsh. Lahni or lahnee is probably closer to how it's actually pronounced (well how mine is pronounced).

[Lani81]

Oh and my middle name is Melissa. Although not a name I like, I think it flows nicely so I wouldn't rule out a two (or more) syllable middle name.
