Re: Nava / Nessa
in reply to a message by Melissa
I like both names, and the meanings are darling.
But I think Ariel Nava flows slightly better than Ariel Nessa. I think it's the 'e' sounds that are too close. Also, according to this web site, Ariel Nava would have the rough meaning of "beautiful lion of god"... I think ... ???
However, I'm basing this on the way I'M pronouncing the names. In Hebrew it might be much different. How often are these names used? Are they spoken or written more often? Those kind of things would have impact on which name I would consider.
