Help[Opinions] Re: Ama
in reply to a message by whim
I like short and sweet names, so Ama is very usable and pretty to me. I think the pronunciation is adorable, but would expect you to have to correct people a few times at first.
And yes... I have had a name dream lately. But, it was more of an "extending our family" dream and I had a little girl named Nadine and kept fielding questions as to why we didn't name her Nadia. Plus, my aunt kept calling her Dina and it was making me angry in the dream - so my husband made an announcement that everyone had to call her NinNin... which made me cry (in the dream) because I just wanted her to be called Nadine. I think it's safe to say I was having a hormonal evening.

I think pronunciation of short names is always easily correctable. People tend to remember and Ah-mah is a very logical choice.
It's when you enter into vowel and letter combo that are unfamiliar that people falter (think names like Aloisia or krea8tive spellings)
Nadine and Mirielle are our top "real life" choices. We have a dozen wish lists, but nothing seems as perfect for as Nadine/Gerard or Mirielle/Blaise.

True. Ama would be easily correctable.
That's fantastic! Nadine/Gerard and Mirielle/Blaise sound perfect with your daughter's name.
