My husband and I are unable to choose a name for our second daughter who is due October 6, 2014! We had front runners but then they got excluded for one reason or another. Our last name is Salvati (sal_vati), very Italian. I am of Hispanic origin and he is Italian and we live the Southwest so we wanted something ending in a vowel sound and off the beaten path but not so much so that you look at it and wonder who this person is. Our first child is Aliyah Marie. We have chosen Rose for the middle name because all of the names we like so far are kinda a mouthful.<\/p>\n<p>The liked but dismissed names are<br \/>\nSelena Rose( I like but two daughters after dead singers?)<br \/>\nZarina Rose( but she is currently a Disney fairy)<br \/>\nAlexa Rose( but then he decided it was too much like Axel Rose)<\/p>\n<p>So we here we are with half a name and no place to go. Do you have any suggestions for our baby girl, sister to Aliyah? We may have another child but as of right now this one is most likely our last.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for considering our request<br \/>\nMonique<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alexa Rose has been eliminated for sounding like Axl Rose&#8212;but the name Rose seems to have been chosen only for its shortness\/simplicity. Could Alexa be back on the list if you chose a different short\/simple middle name? Alexa Joy, or Alexa Jane, or Alexa Kay, or Alexa Hope, or Alexa Grace? But Aliyah and Alexa are quite close in sound, so perhaps the name has too many strikes against it already to be salvaged through a changed middle name.<\/p>\n<p>If you like Selena and Zarina, I wonder if you&#8217;d like Sabrina or Serena. They give a similar sound without the singer\/fairy connections. Or perhaps Karina or Melina?<\/p>\n<p>More possibilities:<\/p>\n<p>Bianca (initials B.S.)<br \/>\nBriella (initials B.S.)<br \/>\nCallista<br \/>\nChiara\/Kiara<br \/>\nClarissa<br \/>\nMariella (a little difficult to say with the surname)<br \/>\nMattea<br \/>\nNadia<br \/>\nOriana<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Name update!<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi Swistle,<\/p>\n<p>I am so so so sorry it has taken me this long to send you a picture and update.<\/p>\n<p>We choose Arya Rose Salvati, sister to Aliyah Marie Salvati.
