Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
Since we now know that we’re having another girl, I’m looking for name suggestions. What’s your favorite girl name?

About the author: Owner and founder of An Island Life. Sharing my life as a mother to 3 wonderful daughters, working as a flight attendant, and living a blessed life in Hawaii. |
I love Piper, Avery, and Danica!
My favourite girl name is Lillian (Lilly).
Ella or Bella, Lily, Jacinta, Lashaya, Irene
I agree, Lily is a great name. Shari is even better LOL. I also like Ava and Gracie.
My little girl is Ariel I love that name.
If i would of had another girl I love the name Ema.
I always wanted a girl and her name would have been Kate. Her name would have officially been Katherine.
I love Sydney, Madison and I’m really partial to Kennedy!!!
(tee hee)
My daughter is Natalie. I also like Ava, Kate and Camille. Lily is pretty too. We had the hardest time with names – it’s so permanent!
I have to keep my absolute favy girl name to myself. hehe. I love it to much. But I love names of cities or countries!
I am really loving Ava right now! My daughter was almost an Ava, but she is a Chloe
I love the name Lily… of course
i’ve always loved the name jolene. i don’t know why i didn’t name my daughter that =/
We love Cadence and Ava.
I love the name Kilah~ (pronounced with a long i and silent h= Ki la
That’s what I named my daughter !!
I’m partial to two names: Emma and Alexis.
My favorite girl name, that will never be used because of someone else in my family using a similar name, is Victoria Rose.
Hmm, other than the ones we’ve already used… I like Madeline, Isabella, Addison, and Lily. Not that I’ve thought this through or anything, lol.
Emily
Jordan, hands down my favorite girls name is Jordan. We cannot use it because we name our children after a deceased relative by using the first letter of their name and we have no J relatives. But it is still my favorite.
When I was young I said I would name my first girl Caroline. I still like that name. My daughter was adopted so her name was chosen to go with her given name. And Not being able to have my own biological children, I will not be using the name Caroline. that’s my pick for you.
The names we considered for our daughter but, for some reason or another opted not to use, was: Olivia, Caroline, and Victoria
Well, my favorites are Emily & Olivia,
but they are very popular, which I didn’t realize at the time. Some of my other favorites are:
Gabrielle
Kaitlyn
Bella
Rochelle
Elise
Can’t wait to hear what you decide to name your new little princess!
How about Otina, or Oti, or even Otilia, lol! No, really, I can’t think of a good name right now lol!
I love Noelani, Kalea and Kalia.
I like Patricia, Ysabel, Julia and Eunice.
Isabella! I wanted to name my daughter Isabella, but my husband had a fit. So we agreed on Erika, and I love it!
I always liked Courtney, Addison or Molly.
Besides Emma, Scarlett, and Lexi/Alexandra (my daughters
I love Chloe and Quinn.
My favorite girl names:
Georgia
Violet
Vivienne
Lyla
Paige
Alexandra
Layla
Caroline!
With the nickname Carly!
I like the name Rose.
As the mommy of two boys I always had great girl names, but now I can not think of any
I think this is a personal choice and we know you’ll pick the perfect Princess name.
well, my little girl is Olivia, I’m Tara, her middle name is Reese. I like the name Analise, but my hubby never did. hmmmmm… I may have to come back to this!
Congrats! I’m having a little girl too so of course I’m just stuck on her name.
BUT I also like the names Peyton, Kaylee and Emma!
Trinity Rain – but it’s already taken
I almost named my oldest daughter Moira – which I still love…
Unfortunately, being pregnant, you have a long time to think about these things!
I like Catherine and Kara. Btw, congrats on your soon to be new little girl!
I love Zoe(thats my daughter) Her middle name is McKenna which I love, I love Sophia, and Olivia. Congrats on the girl!
Amanda is pretty much the most adorable name for a girl. Another option is Merceia (mer-say-uh), which is what I wanted to name our daughter, but since we never had one, it’s available:)
Congrats on the girl! I love my girls’ names – Riley and Taylor.
Oooh…that’s hard. I like the older sounding names…Mia, Sophia, Rose.
Oh, and I wanted to tell you – I’m having trouble with the code on your “grabbable” button on your sidebar. I think there’s an extra line of code in there?? If I put it in as is, and then hit “spellcheck” the code turns into..well, code, instead of a picture. If I hit publish, without doing spellcheck, I get an error and have to erase the first line of the code before it will publish, and then it has no problems. ???
I have always loved the name Ella Grace. What a sweet name!
Have fun choosing!
I do love Lily. That’s so pretty.
Okay my two daughters were Amanda Mae and Kathleen Alynne.
Now what names do I like?
Megan
Heather
Melodie
Molly
Mali
Remember one thing. Give your child a user friendly name. Being Maribeth means I spell every day of my life because everyone wants it to be spelled, Mary Beth. I also married a man with a trick last name and have a doctor of Turkish background so I spell, spell, spell! Ugh! There are days I wish my name was Susan!
I have always loved the names Amanda, Sandra and Angela

My daughter’s name is Juliana Joy. I love her name.
I also love Francesca, Gianna and Mariana.
When we were having a girl, I liked Linnea, but hubbie did not. I also like Kate, Ellie and Lily.
I named my daughter Summer becaus I loved that name so much. If I were to have a second daughter her nane would have been Dakota.
I love what we named our daughter : Emmalyn Margaret.
If we were to have a second girl she will be either :
Lorelei Elizabeth or Ginevra Elizabeth.
But I also have a thing about how many letters I wanted, I wanted them all to be even which makes it kinda hard.
I love Ava and Kate actually i love them together.
If my son was going to be a girl, we were going to name her Ainsley Marie.
Some of my favs are Layla, Paige, Sage and Mila.
I love Ava. Or I like Macie.
Those are the two I would want to choose from if we have another girl next time.
McKayla, Delaney, and Sofie are some of my favorites.
I love Sophia, Estella,and Brenna
Brenna means one with black or raven hair…we almost named our little girl that she is so nice and dark with dark hair but my husband like Sophia more, if we ever have another girl her name will be Brenna.
I like Amanda.
Well…my favorite names are Rylan and Skylar but after that I loved Grace, Avery, Haven and Marlie

Swing by The IE Mommy and let’s talk “shopping”!
I like Kaya, Kirra, Leah!!
There are too many cute names!! Lily, Taylor, Jordan, Akayla and my daughter’s name is Rayden….it means the goddess of thunder and lightening!
Wow I have to agree with a lot of the commenters. Lily is a beautiful name, its my daughters.
Other names I like are Renee, Jillian, Caden and Kyler.
I can’t wait to hear what you end up naming her.
I did the linky thing above, on my “Bluegrass Gal” weblog. Great idea for Aloha Friday, BTW. Another cool girl name is “Andriel”, which is the name of a daughter of a former co-worker of mine.
All this thinking about names made me remember that in the 5th grade, my family moved from Maryland to Utah. They asked me if I wanted to go by “Lucille” (my given name) or “LuAnn” my nickname. I chose LuAnn, because “Lucille” sounded like one of the Baldwin sisters (those ‘Papa’s recipe’-makin’-spinters) on the tv show The Waltons! *lol*
Congrats on the upcoming bundle of joy !!!
Uhmm apparently I have very common tastes, lol, everyone seems to mention the same names .. I love :
Emma, Ella, Victoria, Ava, Mia, Sam ..
I love the names Olivia and Isabella. Happy Friday!
I like Rya
I went looking for Hawaiian names that start with K.

Keiki – I know that means child, but it’s do cute!
Keikilani – love the meaning!
Congratulations and many blessings!
I really love the name Olivia
Evelyn so you can call her Evie for short. Or Abigail and Abby for short.
I like short names…my daughter’s name is Mada (may-da)…after my great gram. But I also like Emma, Ava, Ada, Audrey, Aubrey, Nola…good luck!
I’ve always loved Leah and a new favorite is Ava
I love the name Melia. It’s pronounced May-Leah and it means plumeria. Cute!
I think any name that is not common and overused but doesn’t sound made up is a fine idea. I’m sure you have several ideas already.
I like Hanna (that’s my daughter’s name)! And also Molly, Madeline, Violet, Autumn, and Chloe.
Congratulations!
Isabell..Isabella…

I’ve always wanted to name a girl Aurelia. But I don’t think my husband will go for it…
Aurelia Rose…
I worked with a woman named Lurlie.
She was beautiful inside and out.
I soooooo wanted to name my little girl Lurlie.
The father of my child said NO WAY.
The first name really has to work with the last name and is such a personal choice, but I’ve always loved LEIGH for a middle name with this unique spelling.
My favorite irls name
Marjolein
Suzanne
My favorites are :
Marjolein
Suzanne
My girl name was Kyra. Never got to use it, as we had three boys!
I’ve always loved the name Kayla and I was so pleased when we adopted our girls and they were named Kayla and Kara!
Kayla gets complimented all the time how pretty her name is. She’s almost 23 and still hears it!
Congrats on having another Princess!!
We just named our daughter Summer Rae.
But my favorite name for a little girl is Marley.
We were going to name our second daughter Nalani. Vocal family members complained to my husband that they didn’t like it which caused many discussions between the two of us and we settled on another name. My little one’s name fits her and now I couldn’t imagine her with another name but I still love the name Nalani and have not seen anyone else with it. (We found it in a baby name book that said it meant calm heavens)
My favorite girl’s name is Angelina (for short is Angel).
