Azariah and Astoria?

[allyfally]

What do you think of them? BF's new picks. Azariah is a biblical name, originally male. I'm assuming its supposed to be pronounced az-uh-rye-uh, but I think it sounds good like uh-zar-ee-uh for a girl. I kinda like it both ways.

Astoria is obviously a girl name. I kinda like it, but I'm not completely sure if I do or not.

But I think they're way better than Azai (which is apparently an old Japanese name?) and Azahn (which he just completely made up.)

I was really loving the name Arrow/Aro, but my mom hates it, so thats out. Boo.

Here are my other names. Opinions?

Aeris (air-iss)
Arabella
Anarose
Amari
Anabelle
Arwen
Audra
Alexa
Annalee
Annalise
Avalon
Acadia
Annora
Arietta

Aramis
Abraxas
Ash/Asher
Aspen
Atlas
Atticus
Azaiah

My faves are Annika and Atticus, but the BF doesnt like them.

What about Arlo, if your mom doesn't like Aro? I also like Amos for a boy.

I love Acadia and Arwen on your girl's list!

Not very fond of either of those, sorry! I dont know why, they're similar to other names I like. But I just dont like them.

I've heard Azariah pronounced a-zair-eeah. Like the actor Hank Azaria. I have such an assotiation with the actor I can't really separate it, but if you don't mind that, seems fine. I don't like Astoria unless you have a connection to the neighborhood in Queens, NY. Sorry, just a personal thing...like all the babies named Brooklyn and their parents have never been here (where I live).

lol, I have no idea who that is, so it doesnt bother me at all! Haha. I think its pretty with that pronounciation as well.
