Enaya or Inaaya????

ok so m in my mid 7th mnth MA… and will b havin a cute baby girl IA :slight_smile: now i dunno y i m so stuck up on the name Enaya. i know many ppl on GS esp Sahar (and others i dun remember) have named their daughter’s this. I m not gettin attracted to any other girl name and no name sounds as beautiful as this. now wot is makin me go crazy is how the hell shud i spell it. I think its better that it shud b with E not I. secondly i m scared if i name her Enaya it wud sound like E-‘naya’ instead of E’naaya’. i dun wanna put an extra a in her name just to emphasis on the strechin part. i m confused… shud it b with I.. as in Inaaya? to me it looks pretty if its with an E rather than I. i reall need ur inputs guys… m pullin my hair over this issue :frowning:
thirdly plssss tell me the meanin.. i like the name cus it means blessings of God but most sites say Inaaya mean care, solicitude??? even in arabic it means care. pls tell me it means Allah’s blessin sob

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

Enaya - that's how my friend spells it

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

^That's how I spell it too. Altho Enaaya is probably more accurate.

I think I've seen more people spell it with the "I".

thx guys. sahar have u had any prb with ppl callin her e-naya rather than enaaya?? i noticed like u said, many ppl use Inaaya instead and not enaya but i think it looks silly with an I.

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

No problems. One lady accidentally said Enya. But that's it.

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

Enaya is such a pretty name :) what does it mean? is it an arabic name?

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

^Blessing/gift from God

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

Inaaya looks cooler! and is probably a better spelling for it.

congrats on the newly coming bundle of joy :)

MashAllah, it's such a pretty name :)

thx everyone. sarmad inaaya is most commonly used so maybe thaz the correct way i m not too sure but i tink Enaya is better becus inaaya looks v normal to me i dunno y. Enaya on the other hand looks soooo nice and modern u know. thanks for ur reply though :)

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

Isn't the Arabic with an "ain"? To me the "E" captures the sound more accurately.

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

cant it be both?

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

my friend spelled it as inaayah

i think so.

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

i've seen it spelt Inayah as well, which should take care of the "aa" sound you want. of course, the "h" is silent.

meaning wise, i've read it means "concern"

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

Congratulations On Ur COming Baby Girl!!!!!!!!

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

My neice's name is spelt Inaya. Its a really pretty name and has become quite popular recently :)

thx guys for ur replies n wishes. u all are always there when i need u :) hugs like sahar said, to me it sounds better with an E but thaz my thinkin. i m worried if ppl wud pronounce the name correctly with an E. cus Inaaya is much clearer but i just dun like the look of this word for sum reason!!!! its such a pretty name MA.. i cant wait to name my daughter that.
hows ur daughter doin sahar???? my love to her.

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

i think : Inaaya

Re: Enaya or Inaaya????

alo it dpends on where ur living n hows its pronounced, if ur in UK n Pakistan i think Inaaya is good, whereas USA Enaaya/Enaya
