...but I want opinions on a specific name.

As most of you know, Nahla is the number one name on me and Tim's list for girls. We're both smitten, and we adore the combo it's in:

Nahla Terri Nicole -- Terri after my mom, Nicole after his big sister.

But sometimes I worry that Nahla's connection to Lion King is too obvious.Or that it won't age well. And that if she has an older (or younger) brother, he'd be named Leonidas...another lion name.

So I'd pretty please love opinions...

I mean I think Lion King, but in a good way And honestly, I picture your first daughter being Nahla just because its right! And tbh I didn't even notice Leonidas and Nahla to both be lion names lol, Leonidas never makes me think lion I think Nahla will age well, I can see a mature adult named Nahla. Honestly I really like it! And I love how honoring the name is as a whole, how much it means to you two <3 Nahla Terri Nicole S. just sounds really lovely girl <3

I don't think it matters that it as a Lion King connection. I'm sure there a lot of people on here who have good LK memories and Nahla is so pretty. And Terri Nicole sound really good with it. i love it!

Thanks guys! I feel a lot better about it. I'm so in love with it I sometimes worry I'm not looking at the name objectively.
