Hmm. Where does this name come from? Is it made up? I find it very difficult to attach myself to a name without some pleasant association. I need more than just a pleasing sound. Names that are made up rob me of this pleasure. If I had some more background on the name, I might like it. But for right now, it does nothing for me.

What would you say to Linnea (li-NAY-a), or Mireya (meer-AY-a)? Mireya is not in the BtN database, but I believe it is a Spanish girl's name.

Well actually...

Mireya, possibly. Linnea I love :) Thanks!

Janaya was a girl I met the other day of the African-American descent. Someone asked her mother where the name oiginated, and she said somewhere in Africa so... yea :)

FYI, hetr sister's name was Alisha

I looked up Mireya because I wanted to be sure. Try:

According to this site, Mireya and Mireille, the French variant, both mean "miraculous."
