i would pronounce niajjha like: nee-AH-juh (with a soft j). =/

i like clair (spelled claire or clare). clair looks incomplete. sara grace is nice and i like brooke. heather seems really dated to me.

I have a niece named Zaniyah -- not my style, but pretty as far as trendy names go.

I LOVE the name Brooke! :)

There's a lady at my work called Heather Clare (first and last name).

I think that that entire sibset is just really plain. It doesn't seem like there's anything behind the names; they were just easy to pick.

I don't think we can know what was behind their name choices- most people do just pick names they like though without any special meaning, and some people prefer simple names.

Funny, her name is Brooke Emma and I'm Ema Brooke.

Heather and Sarah aren't good twin names to me because in my accent they rhyme.

But then if I think about how people in the USA pronounce them, they sound totally different, so it's ok.

Heather Clair, Sara Grace and Brooke Emma are all nice enough names but they are kind of blah to me. I prefer Claire spelt as such, since it's my name I suppose!

Heather's growing on me, and I love Clair, although not spelt like that. Grace and Sara are okay, too.

Za'Niya & Niajjha

The spelling are a nightmare on the first two, but I actually think they are beautiful names.

Agree with the pronunciation of Nee-ah-jah above. They sound good with Lovette as well. Better/easier spellings would have been Zaniya(h) and Niajah.

The name Aniyah is unfortunately very popular in the DC Metro area, and I've seen all kids of variants to it- Za'Niya, too. Very similar to the Aidan family, actually. Needless to say, I absolutely loathe it. On the downside, the name isn't going anywhere, since everyone seems to keep naming their daughters that so much that Aniyah is actually in the Top 1000, I believe. -_-

BTW- uh-NYE-uh... the 'NYE' rhymes with the word 'dye/die'. If it were uh-KNEE-uh, my opinion would be very different.
