Help[Opinions] twin girls, due in May
Me again.
Still favor Zahara ('har' makes same sound as in hard), looking for her sister.
prefer accent on 2nd or 3rd syllable,
enjoy sounds that come from far back in the mouth (There must be a more sophisticated way of saying this.).
Today I'm considering Yohana, but it's still not right.
I appreciate any input you have to offer. -Gina

Zahara and Kamaria
It would seem strange to me to pick an African name for one twin and not the other. I think Kamaria is lovely and sounds great with Zahara.

My two picks?
1.AMAYA
Beautiful name!
(I adore May/Maia/Mya as well)
*Amaia is nice also. It is Basque,and means "The End"---which would put some people off, but I think would be appropriate for one's final child.
In my opinion, Amaya is light, airy and feminine without being too saccharine or frilly.
2.ZENOBIA
A beautiful, yet very regal and serious sounding name. It has a very exotic feel, in my opinion.
I have never met a Zenobia...however, I did have an acquaintance by the name of Zenovia.
*I slightly prefer Zenovia, as I think it has a "softer" feel.
Samira is a pretty name, but if said a certain way could come out too much like "Smear-ah" depending on who is saying the name.
"Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do judge them, you will be a mile away and you will have their shoes."
