I am having my first baby. She is due is December and I am excited. Problem is I am finding it very hard to come up with a unique hmong-girl name. I don't want to name her Mai or Paj or all those typical names. I know our Hmong language has more beautiful words than that! I just can't think of any. I welcome any suggestions that you all may have. Looking forward to your replies!

sound of cloud?
i think you meant.. sound of wind...
i think these are really nice names though
makes me want to have a baby so i can name them now.. ahahaha
Umm...you already looking or a name? Shouldn't you just wait until that day? I don't think I would want to start picking a name now before the baby is born. There is just this thing about baby muaj kev tu siab, and then becomes sick. If you decide to pick a name now, then you hav to use it and don't change, that is if you're superstitious about Hmong beliefs. If might affect the baby's feeling. I think in a way, it's like promising giving a candy to a kid. If you break you that promise, the kid might become angry. In other words, it's like breaking a promise with someone. My cousin is pregnant, but is superstitious about this Hmong beliefs. When asked, she said it's not good to find a name before the baby is born.
Well, it's up to how people feel.

just because you name a kid a hmong name
doesn't mean you have to make it their english name
or try to make it something that sounds like english
some girls american names are... jennifer..
and their hmong name is kab zuag?
lol.
and i'm not talking about those people with nick names
or the ones that prefer to be called something else.
ehehe

Jaylia, jalia or however you wanna spell it sounds really pretty in english. my cousin have this friend who named her daughter Jaylia as the first name and hnubci as the hmong name. ntsais lia just happens to be how it is in hmong. sounds very pretty in hmong and in english.

My name's Bai. I have no idea what that means though. O_O
Hmong girls rarely have this name, as I've seen so far. I've only
heard of myself and two other girls. So yeah.
I don't like the name though. People at school go "Eww, you're BAI-sexual?"
Or they go "Bye bye Bai. Ha, ha, ha."
Keep that in mind.

My cousin's name is Bai.. I think it is supposed to be related to the butterfly in some way
and Butterflies are sexy You don't have to have an English name either when you name your kid... Didn't the most of us grow up with a Hmong name anyway? The only problem I had with a Hmong name is that sometimes teachers in school couldn't pronounce my name correctly... but we can always correct them too khekhekhe....
good luck finding a name for your baby... But I think I have to be greedy and keep my name ideas until I have little ones in the future hehehe..
