Flowing and lyrical, this contemporary choice brings together familiar sounds in an unexpectedly fresh combination. The double-N creates a visual anchoring point that adds substance to the name's airy quality, preventing it from feeling too light or insubstantial. It has a modern construction that appeals to parents seeking something current without dipping into obvious trend territory. The name carries an almost Hawaiian or Polynesian feeling in its rhythm, suggesting tropical breezes and natural beauty, though it remains culturally versatile. It's the kind of name that sounds like it could have ancient roots even if it's actually quite recent, giving it a sense of legitimacy and permanence. The pronunciation is straightforward once seen, requiring minimal explanation, and it flows beautifully with most middle and last names. For families wanting something melodic and feminine that still has presence and doesn't disappear into the background, this delivers personality without demanding too much attention. It's soft but not weak, pretty but not precious, modern but not likely to feel dated quickly.
