HelpRe: What do you think about these beautiful African girls names? (Vote and Comment)
in reply to a message by Namaide
Ashanti: sounds very pretty, but it seems strange to me to name a child after an ethnic group.
Shaira: too similar to Shakira.
Johari: I don't like the sound.
Sarabi: Simba's mother in the Lion King.
Alika: the "leek" sound is unpleasant.
Siara: too similar to Ciara, and in Polish slang, Siara (SHA-ra) basically means "cockup".
Leiza: sounds like laser in my accent.
Tanisha: this actually sounds more African-American or Indian to me rather than African, but I'm far from an expert. I can't say I like the sound.
Inaya: pretty if it's een-EYE-a, not so much if it's ee-NAY-a.
Tiaret: makes me think of the Algerian city.
Aluna: like Luna, it's overtly sleek.
Adanna: sounds strong and sophisticated, if both Ns are pronounced.
Azalee: too similar to Azalea.
Ife: a bit insubstantial. I'd add an accent so it wouldn't be mispronounced as EYEF.
Hadiya: it's alright.
Aamori: reminds me of the Japanese city Aomori.
Afia: it's alright.
Imena: this is pretty. I believe it's the word for "names" in a few Slavic languages.
Caimile: would probably be confused with Camille in the quote unqoute West. And presumably in the Francophone world at large as well
Amandla: beautiful sound and powerful rallying cry with a rich history.
Olisa: meh.
Kasinda: pretty.
Nafuna: I dislike the sound.
