Thanks for all your input! To respond to a few comments...
I've noticed the running of syllables with
Nora Aliza (prn a-LEEZ-a) and it's an an issue that I'm still considering. It seems some people are a fan of the running syllables in certain cases and some have a rule against it. I know of a
Tina Aliza in real life and quite like the sound even if I dislike
Tina as a name.
Nikita and Sikander are South Asian names. My SO is
Christian Pakistani. Sikander is the Pakistani form of
Alexander and would be honoring.
Kieran is both an Irish and Pakistani name btw, though most often spelled
Kiran by South Asians and pronounced roughly "keer-RUN." I would intend for people to use both pronunciations as desired.
I'm glad you like
Ethan Remiel. I liked it but was hesitant because
Remiel is so obscure.
