Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Saraya?
in reply to a message by causegirl
Saraya is very aesthetically pleasing to the ear. It's quite exotic, though, so I am not sure how much I like it paired with staunchly British-esque names like Elinor, Wilhelmina, or Josephine...it just looks a tad off, and heightens the unusual nature of Saraya even more. I think it would look a tad more balanced paired with names that are simpler in structure and not as wieghty - Zoe Saraya, Ava Saraya, Saraya Lucia, Ivy Saraya, Saraya Liora, (or Liora Saraya), Pippa Saraya, Shoshana Saraya (or Saraya Shoshana)
May I ask if Saraya is a created name, or if it is from a culture I am probably unfamiliar with? It is very beautiful :)

Saraya is one of my closest friends mn. Her mother choose it (from a book, I believe) as a variation of Sarah. I suspect it was a variation of Soraya, influenced by the popularity of Sarah. I would be using it to honour her.
As for the British-esque names I've paired it with, well, that is a big part of my naming style, I suppose. My children are George, Adelaide, and Cecily. Saraya doesn't exactly "fit" with those, another reason it had been put in the mn slot for so long.
Edited to add:
Saraya Liora and Saraya Lucia are both lovely!

Ahh, I see! Well, with siblings George, Adelaide and Cecily, I would probably put it in the middle name slot too :)
I'm being a little stalkerish and looking at your name list for ideas....what about:
Dorothy Saraya
Adah Saraya
Delilah Saraya (this is a little sing-songy, but I like that)
Gemma Saraya
Ginevra Saraya
Katharina Saraya
Ivy Saraya (I adore this)
Leonora Saraya
Minerva Saraya
Lucia Saraya
Seraphina Saraya
Zoe Saraya
Any you like??

Awww :)
But I'm pretty sure it was from a friend, not a book. I can't remember. But I shoudl probably find out, seeing as it's my name and all. But yes, she definitely chose it as an elaborate version of Sarah.
