The names
Lainey

Naomi
Hebrew, Japanese

Sara
Hebrew
"princess"
Sara, the streamlined form of Sarah, makes this ancient name feel more modern, but perhaps a bit lighter weight. Some Old Testament sources give Sara as a variation of Sarai, the Biblical personage's…

This obscure Native-American name owes its very life to country singer Shania Twain, who dropped her original name, Eileen, for it.

Deana
Variation of Deanna, English, or feminization of Dean, English
"divine; church official"
Depending on how you say it, either a streamlined version of Deanna, or the namesake of a male Dean. But today, why not name her Dean.
