Alexandria
Adriana (I love Ariana but my cousin named her child that)--I prefer it with the short a sound in the beginning (how it's pronounced in Spanish), but I know everyone else reads it with the long.
Rhianna (I don't care for the singer, just like the name).
Taliah
Kyla
Also Mariella, it's spanish, but I'm not sure if it sounds so great in English.
Thanks for your input ;-)
Happy Holidays!

If I were you, I would eliminate Rhianna since you don't care for the singer. People will assume that that is where you got the name (not true of course, but that is what they will think) so unless you are ok with that association, I would remove that name from the list.
I love Adriana (Add-ree-yana) and think that it is elegant and pretty.
I love Taliah, which means Dew from Heaven, and it sweet and pretty.
I don't like Kyla very much because of all the Kayla, Kylee, Kaylies, Kylies.... there are too many 'sister names' to this one, making it sound less unique than many of your other names.
I really like Alexandria and Mariella, but they are not my favorites.
My favorites are definately Taliah and Adriana. Depending on your last name, I think that Adriana is the most beautiful and romantic sounding of the two, where Taliah is more cute.

My daugher in law is Mexican. In her family, there are many names that are pronounced the Spanish way. I like that. As for the names you have given, I really like Taliah, it is different, and not so many children are already named that. In our family, my daughter in laws family name is Santana. As a tribute to her deceased father, we named the son with a middle name of Santana. (she's Carlos Santana's first cousin) I admire that. Her father was a fantastic man who died of Leukemia. Remember, having Spanish names is really nice. Kyla is used a lot, already. Mariella sounds beautiful, as well. Not a lot of those in the schools, so far! That's why naming the Spanish names can be really great.......not so many of the children will already be named that. I find it weird that in my grandson's first grade class, there is a Kensey, and 2 Mc Kenseys. It's hard to come up with a name that won't be really popular by the time your daughter gets to school!

All of those names sound pretty indeed. But if you're undecided for the perfect name for your angel I suggest you look at the meaning.
It would be very fun and it might give a powerful impact on your child if you'll be able to give her an information (like telling a story) as she grows up, why you chose that name for her....what it suggests. It can build up confidence too on the child.
Adriana- Origin is Latin meaning "from Hadria". Hadria is the an alternative spelling for the Etruscan city that is now Adria in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. it is also an alternative spelling for the city that is now Atri in the Abruzzo region of Central Italy.
Adriana is also a name of the lead character in Shakespear's play "The Comedy of Errors".
Alexandria - Origin is Greek. It means "Defending men". It is also the name of the city founded by Alexander the great, in Egypt.
Kyla - origin is Gaelic and/or English , which means "church" or "beautiful"
Mariella - In Hebrew it means "Uncertain, maybe bitter". In Italian it means "Pet of Maria"
Talia - Origin is Hebrew which means "dew of GOD" or "Female Lamb"
Rhianna - origin is welsh and its meaning is "nymph"
I hope this will help you decide though I suggest to double check it. check out other sites which shows the name's meaning.....
Happy Holidays and Congratulations.....

My neices name is Alexandria, and if you like nicknames there are many you can choose with that one. I have a friend name Adriana.
I don't care for the name Rhianna, I think if you named a child that now, you might get a lot of..."She named her kid after the famous singer"
Taliah is cute and so is Kyla.
It really depends on you though.
What do you like best?

Mariella sounds much better with rolled R's, but still a cute name anyways.
Ariana is a beautiful name
Rhianna sounds like a one name, name...like madonna, ronaldinho or any other Brazilian soccer star. Sounds like a stage name to me, not a first name.
Kyla, kinda boring and I have issue with how imbalanced the sylables are in that name - very front heavy
Taliah I do not care much for
Alexandria is ok, hate the shortened Alex for a girl though
Thats my 2 cents

I knew a Mariella and always loved saying her name in English. It really flows ... I like Kyla the least, and I say that because it seems like everyone has a Kyla or a Kiley these days. Second fave is Alexandria, it's very theatrical.
