Girl names?

Hello! My husband and I are expecting a baby girl. I am part Armenian and would love to have some of our family identity passed down, since her middle and last name will not be. What are your thoughts on easy to pronounce Armenian girl names for Americans?

Extremely common but not Armenian. Locals love using American names now, and before that is was a ton of Spanish names. So you see Mark among the top boy name, alongside Leo, Robert, Michael, etc. Female names are often non Armenian, though the new generation falls into hyper patriotic vs couldn't care less. So we have kids like mine with names like Aram, Araks, Vani, and those who are Jennifer, Jessica, Lilliana, Monica, Daniella, Michelle, etc.

It’s not an Armenian name. Just used but not from the Armenian culture or language. It’s like calling someone jack. It’s not Armenian lol
