Was falling asleep last night when this name came to me. I have no idea where it came from. We had been considering Elodie as a name, but Eleri just seems nicer to me.

Any views on it?

I think we would pronounce it Ell-ery. This is the way it reads to me anyway. However I stand to be corrected! I don't like the other pronunciation!

I knew an Eleri (E-LAIR-y) at university, so she must be (ahem) mid-40s. Not a huge fan of the name, but there probably won't be many around.

I love it and would love to call a dd2 that if she came along but dh is most unreasonable on this subject

what does it matter how old other people with the name are, btw? If it's a beautiful name, it doesn't become less so because there are older people with it!

I like it, I used to know one. It used to get pronounced both Ell-ery & Ell-air-y. Not sure of the correct pronunciation.

I know an Eleri. A lady from Wales over 20

Never heard it before but I love it.

It's lovely.

Not heard too often in Wales any more- most of the Eleri's I know are over 20.
