Amira

Amira is beautiful and elegant. Malika sounds harsher.

Amira is a lot prettier than Malika imo. (-:

I love Amira and would consider using it. Malika isn't bad or anything, but it doesn't hold a candle to Amira.

Amira, it's a really pretty name. Malika doesn't have as nice a sound.

Amira is a very beautiful name. I like Mira and Amira about equally although I prefer the meanings of Mira.

Amira...

...is my middle name (well, a very similar variant), and I love it (mostly for the meaning, although I'd kinda like to be a queen)! Definitely where my vote goes.

Amira is beautiful!

Amira.

Amira has a softer sound and looks nicer written down. My youngest has a bff named Malik and while his very masculine name totally suits him, I just don't care for the feminine version -- too harsh.

Interesting that you would ask because just recently I met a little Melike and I thought about this name and its variants :) Melike was pronounced MELL-lih-keh which was surprising to me because in my head I always pronounced it meh-LEE-keh. I like MELL-ih-keh better though.

I don't like Malika that much, I think I prefer Melike. Melike means queen too but it makes me think of honey because of its similarity to Melissa and Melina which have that meaning.

Amira is cute! I prefer Melike over Amira but Amira over Malika! So I choose Amira. I would definitely stick with this spelling. I also prefer the meaning priness over queen. Maybe because princesses are usually portrayed as sweet, caring and lovely whereas queens are often portrayed as mean, power hungry and rough.

I think they're both beautiful, but I prefer how Amira sounds.

Dislike the meanings. I like the sound of Amira but not Malika, though I really like Malik for a male
