Cant decide on name!

Hello all, DH and I are expecting bub #2 and ultrasounds are all pointing in the direction of a girl. We had always agreed that the name would be Mila (pronounced a little like Miller), however since falling pregnant I've gone off it a bit. So far the names we're considering are: Emilia Liliana Sofia Mila And Rose as a possible middle name. DS is Aleksandar (nn Aleks) and together with our surname sounds quite regal/aristocratic. BTW he overheard us discussing names and now exclusively calls bub Liliana (which DH is convinced I brainwashed him into doing). On some days I like a certain name more than the others, and on others I hate them all. I can't decided! Therefore, challenge #1 being bub's name needs to be fairly international (i.e. can be pronounced the same in different languages) and match Aleksandar. Challenge #2 - we have no back up boys names incase bub has been hiding a little secret all these months! Any help would be much appreciated This post has been edited by MamaBean: 30/01/2013, 10:35 PM

I really like Lillian, especially with your son's name. Other ideas: Tatiana Marguerite Anastasia Catarina Penelope Aurelia And for a boy: Nikolas Theodore Rafael Balthasar Barnabas Hector Nathaniel

I would go Liliana or Emilia. I think something long and regal to complement Aleksander. You might also consider: Emiliana Eliana Emmelina Evelina Catalina This post has been edited by Gudrun: 31/01/2013, 01:43 AM

I love bith Liliana and Emilia. I prefer Liliana of the two but I think Emilia goes better with Rose. The other two names are fine too though.

I really like Liliana too. I like Sofia, but to me it falls flat with Aleksander. What about Zofia? Aleksander and Dominik Leopold Bruno Magnus Sebastian Eleonora Gabriella Serafina Sybilla Adelina

We just had an Emilia 2 weeks ago, so of course I will say that is my favourite! Goes well with Rose too. QUOTE (kerilyntaryn @ 31/01/2013, 12:41 AM) Emilia - 2nd choice, although prefer Amelia spelling Sorry to be pedantic, but these are not 2 spellings of the same name. Aside from being pronounced differently, Amelie of German heritage (derived from Aemelius), and Emilia is derived from the Latin Emil.
