Whenever I work with parents in the naming process, I am quick to advise looking at the association factor of a name before choosing it. In other words, if there's a negative association in the sound or potential meaning on a societal or familial basis, the name should be rejected. When Halle Berry chose the name for her new daughter, she definitely neglected to look at the association factor. In our culture, "nah" means no, and not only does this baby have the "nah" sound in her first name, her initials spell out the very same thing... NAA. Beyond the association factor, the name Nahla will provide a subliminal that encourages diplomacy, niceness and a desire to please. This name does not bolster confidence with ease. It might be expected that little Nahla may indeed have some difficulty setting healthy boundaries later in life. The full name Nahla Aubry will slow down the pace of life and bring quite a few tests and challenges. Here's a situation where a quick name attunement might just get this name on track!
