I really like this name, it's growing on me daily but now I wonder if there are loads? Haven't actually met any but I'm thinking it's suddenly becoming popular, am I right?

Oh thank you, nothing wrong with popular but don't want 3 in her class and 'classic' names just aren't for me and won't go with our other 3 girls. Course it could be a boy!!
Am 36 weeks and can't believe how long it's taking to choose this time (but had serious twinges last night so need to get choosing soon!).
Many thanks.

I have one Smile, have yet to meet another. It's way outsude the top 100 (approx 140) and has been pretty static over the last few years. It seems to be a m'net fave, which may give you the impression it's more popular than it really is.

I don't know any

Natalie Cassidy, Sonia from Eastenders named her baby Eliza last year.

I don't know any, although it's recommended on MN quite often.

I only know one, and she's mine.

I have a 14yr old Eliza, we've not come across many others at all.

hellymelly · 09/03/2011 21:22

I don't know any either,its a lovely name.

Never met one under 40. I think it could become popular in the next few years, but I would be surprised if it was in the current top 50.

I have one who is 3 - it's a lovely name and people always comment. I know of a couple of new babies named Eliza so perhaps it is getting more popular but certainly not to the extent that there will be 3 or 4 in her class.
